Libro Hot, Flat and Crowded. Sinopsis libro, reseña libro. In this brilliant, essential book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas L. Friedman speaks to America’s 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 world’s 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 haven’t 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.
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. Libro Hot, Flat and Crowded.
Robin –
This book shows Tom Friedman at the top of his game. Friedman is always good at eliciting insightful information from a vast number of interviews. The task he sets for himself here could be daunting to others: integrate the global economic revolution with the climate change evolution and this world’s burgeoning population in order to view realistically the options for our species. The fact that his solution is not simple but compelling adds to the value of the book, but even if he were only to state the problem it would be worthwhile to spend some time reading it. I need to go back over it again and use my highlighter to make this book more valuable as a reference. I know I will be quoting it
