Hot Fat And Crowded

Hot Fat and Crowded by Thomas L. Friedman In this
brilliant essential book Pulitzer Prize-winning author
Thomas L. Friedman speaks to Americas urgent need for
national renewal and explains how a green revolution can
bring about both a sustainable environment and a
sustainable America. Friedman explains how global warming
rapidly growing populations and the expansion of the
worlds middle class through globalization have produced a
dangerously unstable planet–one that is hot flat and
crowded. In this Release 2.0 edition he also shows how the
very habits that led us to ravage the natural world led to
the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great
Recession. The challenge of a sustainable way of life
presents the United States with an opportunity not only to
rebuild its economy but to lead the world in radically
innovating toward cleaner energy. And it could inspire
Americans to something we havent seen in a long
time–nation-building in America–by summoning the
intelligence creativity and concern for the common good
that are our greatest national resources.
