One section of the book provides a critical response to Gore's views on global warming. Issues discussedBeck discusses his political views on a number of subjects. Issues include Beck’s claims that the free market provides the best way to fight global warming, divorce rates, Beck's perceptions of liberal bias on school campuses, the income gap, perceived anti-Americanism of the United Nations, and illegal immigration. ReceptionPublishers Weekly described An Inconvenient Book as "a good read for conservatives," referring to Beck's often lighthearted tone, "at his best when most absurd, and funniest when he's his own target." On the content, the reviewer says "While often informative, as in his chapter on global warming, Beck is sometimes tedious, particularly when dealing with Islam and education (France is literally teetering on the edge, and our biggest ally, England, is about to be turned inside out as well)."[3]An Inconvenient Book entered The New York Times Best Seller List at Number 1 under the category Hardcover Nonfiction, and stayed in the list for 17 weeks.[4][5]References and quotations1. ^{{cite book | last = Beck | first = G | authorlink = Glenn Beck | title = An Inconvenient Book: Real Solutions to the World's Biggest Problems | location = New York | publisher = Simon & Schuster | year = 2007 | isbn = 1-4165-5219-7 |display-authors=etal}} 2. ^The book's title page credits Beck and Kevin Balfe with writing and editing; credits additional writing to Steve "Stu" Burguiere, John Bobey, Dan Andros and Paul Starke; credits "contributions" to Carol Lynne, Virginia Leahy, Evan Cutler and Patricia Balfe; and credits illustrations to Paul Nunn. 3. ^[https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B000WJVLLG/mahalo-20/ An Inconvenient Book, Editorial Reviews], Amazon.com 4. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/09/books/bestseller/1209besthardnonfiction.html Best Sellers: Hardcover Nonfiction], The New York Times, December 9, 2007 5. ^[https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/30/books/bestseller/0330besthardnonfiction.html Best Sellers: Hardcover Nonfiction], The New York Times, March 30, 2008 External links
