Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution – and How It Can Renew America by Thomas L. Friedman

3.0

It’s amazing that a 10-year-old book can still be urgent and relevant, but this one certainly is—it felt like countless articles I’ve read even in the last couple of years about the importance of developing and, more crucially, speedily implementing a global environmental strategy. The argument and information are great, and it’s well-structured. However, the second half especially is bogged down by redundancy, mostly because of a surplus of cameos from environmentalists and industrialists who are quoted at length saying very similar things.
