Thomas Friedman's "Hot, Flat, and Crowded"

Thomas Friedman's new book, "Hot, Flat and Crowded" has received a pretty big response from a wide variety of reading groups, but no group has focused on the book more than people interested in exploring the major issues affecting our world and our environment at this point in the twenty-first century: global warming, over-population, disease, famine, the socio-global economy.

TLH has not read the book yet, but it's definitely on the "TO DO LIST." It has been widely discussed on different blogs and in different scientific and literary forums, including RichardDawkins.net.

One blogger and active critic of Friedman's book (and of Friedman himself) is Rolling Stone writer Matt Taibbi, who has a rather scathing critique of Friedman on his blog site. Take a look here:The Smirking Chimp.
