Thomas L. Friedman

Hot, Flat, and Crowded 2.0

Why We Need a Green Revolution--And How It Can Renew America

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

In this brilliant, essential book, Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the astonishing expansion of the world's middle class through globalization have produced a dangerously unstable planet that is "hot, flat, and crowded." In just a few years, it will be too late to fix things-unless the United States steps up now and takes the lead with a worldwide strategy for clean energy, energy efficiency, and conservation. 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.

Friedman erleutert die Dringlichkeit einer Grünen Revolution und die Bedeutung einer solchen Revolution für das neues Amerika und den ganzen Planeten.
