Thomas Friedman's phenomenal The World is Flat helped millions of people see globalization in a new way. Now he takes a fresh, provocative look at the biggest challenge facing us today - our hot, flat and crowded world.

Climate change and rapid population growth mean that it's no longer possible for businesses, or the rest of us, to keep doing things the same old way.

Things are going to have to change - and fast.

Here Friedman provides a bold strategy for clean fuel, energy efficiency and conservation that he calls 'Code Green'. It will change everything, from what we put into our cars and see on our electricity bills to how we live our lives. Hot, Flat and Crowded is fearless, forward-looking and rich in common sense about the challenge - and the promise - of the future.

Author Biography: Thomas L. Friedman is a world-renowned author and journalist for The New York Times. He has won the Pulitzer Prize three times, and is the author of From Beirut to Jerusalem, which won both the National Book Award and the Overseas Press Club Award, The Lexus and the Olive Tree, one of the best selling business books in 1999, Longitudes and Attitudes: Exploring the World After September 11, and The World Is Flat, which was given the first Financial Times and Goldman Sachs Business Book of the Year Award.
