Hot, Flat, and Crowded Why the World Needs a Green Revolution--And How We Can Renew Our Global Future

von Thomas L. Friedman

Format:Hardcover

Thomas L Friedman's The World is Flatwas one of the biggest global bestsellers of any kind in 2005 and 2006. With his unique combination of analysis, reportage and call to action, Friedman now addresses the biggest crisis in the world - climate change - and argues that we haven't even begun to acknowledge and react to the true scale of the problem yet. At the moment, he says, we aren't having a pro-green revolution, we're having a green party - a lot of good feelings, some nice bits of green branding, and a lot of hot air. If we're going to have the real green revolution we need, we must acknowledge that unless we change, we die. Friedman will show that 'green is better' - and that America and the world need to 'think green' as they thought 'red white and blue' after the 9/11 attacks- he will redefine green as geopolitical, strategic, and patriotic. Then he will show that if we're going to make a real difference, we need a disruptive green revolution- Friedman describes what 'the four disruptions' should be, and provides concrete examples of 'better, smarter, healthier, greener'. He shows that we need to change our leaders, not just our light bulbs, and that if we are going to get this right, we need to change ourselves from the 'me-generation' into the 'regeneration'. This is sure to be one of the most talked about and best-selling nonfiction books in the world in 2008.
