  <about><![CDATA[Mary Elizabeth Aitcheson Gore, known as Tipper Gore, is the wife of former Vice President Al Gore and was the &quot;Second Lady of the United States&quot; from 1993 until 2001.<br/><br/>In 1985, she co-founded the Parents Music Resource Center (PMRC) with Susan Baker, wife of then United States Secretary of the Treasury James Baker, because Tipper heard her then 11-year-old daughter playing &quot;Darling Nikki&quot; by Prince. According to an article by NPR, Gore went &quot;before Congress to urge warning labels for records marketed to children.&quot; A number of individuals including Dee Snider of Twisted Sister[, John Denver, Joey Ramone and Frank Zappa criticized the group, claiming that this was a form of censorship. Gore argued against the censorship claim by stating that &quot;I'm a strong believer in the First Amendment.&quot;<br/><br/>Gore resigned from the group in 1992 when she became Second Lady. As Second Lady, Gore was one of 150 photographers for 24 Hours in Cyberspace which took place online on 8 February 1996. It was &quot;the largest one-day online event&quot; up to that date, headed by photographer Rick Smolan.<br/><br/>Mrs. Gore was actively involved in her husband's presidential campaign in 2000, making numerous campaign stops nationwide such as at Chicago's Taste of Polonia over Labor Day Weekend where she appeared along with Hadassah Lieberman and ironically Dick Cheney.<br/><br/>In 2003, Gore spoke at the &quot;Erasing the Stigma Awards&quot; about her experience with depression after her son, Al Gore III was hit by a car when he was a young child.<br/>]]></about>

    <![CDATA[Al and Tipper Gore have long considered family their bedrock. Theyve also spent many years studying the American family, and now, in this provocative and personal book, they explore the myriad ways in which the idea of family is being redefined. Over the past two generations, cultural shifts and economic pressures have profoundly affected every family in the nation: balancing work and family now poses a bigger challenge than ever before, day-care and after-school child care programs are too often dangerously inadequate, and new technological advancements have dramatically changed the ways we communicate. But if many of the traditional landmarks by which families formerly steered their course have disappeared, change has also opened up exciting possibilities, yielding an explosion of new family forms and novel solutions to age-old problems.In this penetrating and moving exploration of the contemporary family landscape, the Gores share stories drawn from their own experiences, as well as introduce us to a dozen other families they have come to know over the years. Combining personal insight and expert opinions, historical and global perspectives, Joined at the Heart identifies an emerging realityand demonstrates that, in the face of unprecedented change, the inherent need for family is stronger than ever.]]>

    <![CDATA[The American family has undergone dramatic changes in the last two generations, as interfaith and interracial marriage, new gender and age configurations, and different roles have created increasingly complex emotional and spiritual bonds. In The Spirit of Family, Al and Tipper Gore chart this evolution in an entirely fresh way, with 260 black-and-white and color images from many of the countrys most acclaimed photographersincluding Tina Barney, Mitch Epstein, Lee Friedlander, Sally Mann, Mary Ellen Mark, Nicholas Nixonand from rising stars such as Gerald Cyrus, Arlene Gottfried, and Jennette Williams. The result is a visual narrative that brilliantly illustrates the traditional stages of life and the unique challenges and opportunities facing todays families. The perfect complement to the Gores equally eye-opening book about family, Joined at the Heart, this astonishing collection of photographs offers a powerful vision of our most essential relationships.]]>

    <![CDATA[Chances are, Tipper Gore would have had a difficult time finding a publisher for this book if she were not married to the vice president of the United States. In all fairness, however, she was an experienced photojournalist long before she took up residence in Washington, D.C. This &quot;diary&quot; is a compilation of pictures taken during the first four years of the Clinton-Gore administration. They run the gamut from unusually intimate coverage of White House activities--and occupants--to a variety of people and places she has experienced in her recent international travels. If there are too many images of a family album-type nature, Gore reveals a keen eye for &quot;the defining moment&quot;--especially in her photographs of Rwandan and Haitian children.]]>
