Average Rating: 
Rating: - Friedman's inspiring green movement
Thomas L. Friedman's new book, "Hot, Flat, and Crowded" is an excellent read for every one interested in the future of planet Earth. Friedman draws connections between different topics which make one realize the need to protect this wonderful resource, Earth, which we inhabit. "Hot" is in reference to global warming. "Flat" implies how the world is becoming smaller; primarily the internet and transportation. "Crowded" refers to human over population of the earth. Friedman shows the strong connection ... Read More
Rating:  - Thomas Friedman ties globalization and the environment together perfectly
Following The Lexus and the Olive Tree and The World is Flat, this new volume from the witty and articulate pen of Thomas Friedman brings us up to date on the state of inter-connectedness of the entire world. So many of the world's poor are rising to the point of wanting to become "Americans" and with it consume resources at the same rate as Americans. Friedman points toward possible solutions to this problem. Excellent book, particularly in this time of world economic and environmental crisis.
Rating: - Hot on Hot
This is another excellent book by Thomas Friedman. I was interested in finding out how he would tie together hot and crowed with flat. I had read his book about the flat world.

It is well known that oil price determines the politics of energy. Friedman describes in detail how the oil prices enrich the petro dictators in the OPEC countries and how it is funding the terrorist activities thru the Islamic fundamentalist schools in Pakistan. How Saudi Arabia is influencing ... Read More
Rating: - Paints the picture perfectly
Friedman hits the nail on the head. He asks the pertinent question: what kind of world do you want to live in? One where we continue our status quo with heads firmly buried in the sand to ignore all the cultural, social, economic, and environmental problems, only to keep applying bandaids as the wounds get worse? Or one where we wake up, open our eyes to the problems facing us, and get real? He slaps us across the face with the facts and figures as well as his exploration of those things we don't normally ...
