Thomas Friedman Presentation

Just got this email from ChangeThis.com regarding a presentation about Thomas Friedman's Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution–and How It Can Renew America:

Greetings ChangeThisistas,

Thomas Friedman's publisher has sent us a video that, judging from your response to the free WORLD IS FLAT eBook offer we sent out in July, we thought you might be interested in.

The presentation is eight minutes long and taken from Part II of his new book HOT, FLAT, AND CROWDED: WHY WE NEED A GREEN REVOLUTION AND HOW IT CAN RENEW AMERICA. In it, he discusses Petropolitics, Global Weirding and why Al Gore owes us all a big apology.

If you're interested, head to the address below:

Enjoy!

It's worth eight minutes of your time :)

The World is Flat by Thomas L Friedman

I've started listening to the free audio version of Thomas L Friedman’s The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century and it's every bit as fantastic as I was told.

And listening to the bonus free prepublication audio excerpt of Friedman’s Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution–and How It Can Renew America makes me want to get my hands on a copy when it is released by Farrar, Straus and Giroux on September 8, 2008.

I'm thrilled that I heard about the free giveaway!

I'd love to hear about any other free book offers!
