Hot, Flat, and Crowded, Release 2.0: Why We Need a Green Revolution--And How It Can Renew America Friedman Thomas L. Paperback

In this brilliant, essential book, Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a dangerously unstable planet that is "hot, flat, and crowded." In just a few years, it will be too late to fix things-unless the United States steps up now and takes the lead with a worldwide strategy for clean energy, energy efficiency, and conservation. HOT, FLAT, AND CROWDED is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge-and the promise-of the future.
