DK Eyewitness: Weather

A gripping, eye-opening, and ultimately hopeful look at the defining geopolitical challenges of our time by three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas L. Friedman.

In this brilliant international bestseller, Thomas L. Friedman takes a hard look at the three monumental forces reshaping our world: global warming ("hot"), the rapid leveling of the economic playing field through globalization ("flat"), and staggering global population growth ("crowded"). Friedman masterfully explains how the convergence of these trends threatens our planet's stability, driving resource depletion, climate shifts, and the rise of dangerous energy regimes.
