Hot, Flat, and Crowded or why Green is the new Red, white and blue
New York Times readers are already well aware that Times Columnist Thomas Friedman has come out with a new book examining the world’s envrionmental challenges and the American obligation to become engaged and help solve them. Friedman who must be considered one of the more intelligent journalists writing today has done it again. He has stepped through the muck and the mire to arrive at conclusions that are sound, should be non-partisian, and that ultimately come across as optimistic. He doesn’t hesitate to point out the seriousness of the problem, nor has he been shy about criticizing the remarks of Republicans at their convention (drill, baby drill!!) as asinine, but more than anything he argues that the environmental challenges present opportunity both for American business but also for larger American society to redeem itself and once again lead the world. It’s recommended reading for anyone who cares about the future of America and the world. Learn more by visiting Friedman’s website at www.thomaslfriedman.com/bookshelf/hot-flat-and-crowded
