Hooray! Al Gore will write a new book!

New Gore Book Is Meacham's First Acquisition for Random House - NYTimes.com

Now certainly feels like one of those moments when the world needs to be explained to us, and Random House believes it has found just the writer to do it: Al Gore, the former vice president and Nobel Peace Prize winner, will write a new book about what he calls “the drivers of global change,” that connects the dots among social, economic and political forces shaping our times, Random House said on Tuesday. The book, which is planned for release next year and does not yet have a title, is the first acquisition for the publishing house by Jon Meacham, the author and former Newsweek editor, who was named an executive vice president at the Random House Publishing Group in January.
