Hot, Flat, and Crowded



Hot, Flat, and Crowded
Why We Need a Green Revolution - And How it Can Renew America
By Thomas L. Friedman


Friedman's book proposes a national strategy of "Geo-Greenism" to "make America healthier, richer, more innovative, more productive, and more secure."

He shows how 9/11, Hurricane Katrina, and the flattening of the world by the Internet have combined to bring climate and energy issues to Main Street, as the grandchildren of the Greatest Generation, step up to lead as "the Greenest Generation."

He calls for Americans to redefine ourselves and lead the charge of energy technologies, with great hope for the future.

Kelley,

Have you seen The Chapter 18 Project? I work for Friedman's publisher, and we recently launched it: readers can submit ideas and comments for the expanded edition of Hot, Flat, and Crowded, with Friedman guiding the discussion online. To my knowledge, this type of crowdsourcing has never been done on a major book yet!
