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 2.0 is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future.

Da: Hamelyn, Madrid, Spagna
Valutazione del venditore 4 su 5 stelle
Condizione: Muy bueno. : En este libro esencial, Thomas L. Friedman, ganador del Premio Pulitzer, aborda la urgente necesidad de renovación nacional de Estados Unidos y explica cómo una revolución verde puede generar un entorno sostenible y una América sostenible. Friedman explica cómo el calentamiento global, las poblaciones en rápido crecimiento y la expansión de la clase media mundial a través de la globalización han producido un planeta peligrosamente inestable: uno que está "caliente, plano y abarrotado". El desafío de un modo de vida sostenible presenta a Estados Unidos la oportunidad no solo de reconstruir su economía, sino también de liderar al mundo en la innovación radical hacia una energía más limpia. Y podría inspirar a los estadounidenses a algo que no hemos visto en mucho tiempo: la construcción de una nación en Estados Unidos, invocando la inteligencia, la creatividad y la preocupación por el bien común que son nuestros mayores recursos nacionales.
