Summary: |
Friedman brings a fresh outlook to the crises of destabilizing climate change and rising competition for energy - both of which could poison our world if we do not act quickly and collectively. His argument speaks to all of us who are concerned about the state of America in the global future. Friedman proposes that an ambitious national strategy is not only what we need to save the planet from overheating; it is what we need to make America healthier, richer, more innovative, more productive, and more secure. Hot, Flat and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman-fearless, incisive, forwardlooking, and rich in surprising common sense about the world we live in today. Follow up to a true audio phenomenon. The World is Flat won the 2006 Audie Award for unabridged nonfiction. |
