Columnist Thomas L. Friedman explains why, in a globalized world, crises in energy and the climate must be priorities. Friedman argues further that a globalized world makes it possible as never before to address these issues in a meaningful way, and with positive and significant results. The United States is uniquely positioned to take a lead in this initiative, says Friedman: by working to make the world safer and cleaner, we make America more secure. As always, Friedman is insightful both in diagnosing the problem and in offering solutions, as he describes specific technologies that would be central to a national policy of "geo-greenism." Most importantly, he makes no bones about the fact that the commitment to change must be immediate, and significant. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as a Notable Book of 2008.

  • Starred ReviewAt the intersection of leveled economic and technological access (flat) with an aggravated environment (hot) and a surging population (crowded), Friedman stands behind his pulpit as preacher, prophet and promoter of a green revolution starting in the United States. He provides an exhaustive and convincing argument about the need for the United States to transition to more sustainable systems of energy soon or risk any possible chance of maintaining hegemony. His ability to identify and summarize succinctly the issues and controversies over resistance to a green revolution is matched by his clear and definitive solutions to these forthcoming problems. Oliver Wyman provides a congenial and gentle voice that works well with the text. Given its overwhelming nature, Wyman performs without a hint of condescension. He navigates quotes within the text with distinguishing voices that sometimes hints at personality traits not referred to in the text. Impressively, Wyman keeps a consistency of cadence and tone throughout the entire reading. A Farrar, Straus & Giroux hardcover. (Sept.) (c) Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved
