| 1. |  | Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution -- and How It Can Renew America
from Macmillan Audio
Price: $35.97
Customer Review:
The problem with this work is that in order for it to be reasonable, one must accept Mr. Friedman's premise: that the earth is getting hotter, flatter, and more crowded. While it is not a stretch to believe these things, he presents them as an emergency. Without the emergency he initially creates... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 2. |  | The Post-American World
from W. W. Norton
Price: $16.34
Customer Review:
An intelligent book that looks at trends in globalization, modernization of developing countries, and what it all means to the United States. Zakaria is clearly adept at gathering, processing, and synthesizing vast and seemingly unrelated bodies of information about a subject. I guess that is what... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | The World Is Flat 3.0: A Brief History of the Twenty-first Century
from Picador
Price: $10.08
Customer Review:
A transparent attempt to justify the new colonialism. In the 16th century it was the great nations of Europe, in the 21st it is the multinational corporation. It is still exploitation of the haves by the have-nots, just a lot of new lipstick on the same old pig! | 4.0 / 5.0

| 6. |  | The Art Of War
from Filiquarian
Price: $3.99
Customer Review:
This is indeed a great book, then the ancient Chinese might not fully know what to do in warfare.
But now this book as well as too many other books tells us only what to do, does not tell us how to do.
The issue of how to do is perhaps the most difficult point in any activity.

The social media, whether in the world of consumer reviews or within guarded corporate walled gardens, is undoubtedly a growing phenomena.

from Oxford University Press, USA

Customer Review:
This book puts the body of knowledge in evolutionary biology in the right perspective. Because we are macro beings, because we in this society live and deal at organism level, so we tend to believe that everything revolves around this level. What this book does is to encourage you to think form the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 9. | ![]() | Brave New World
from Harpercollins
Customer Review:
I did not like this book. It had a few interesting elements but the concepts are a little "out there." I would not recommend this book to anyone unless they had nothing else to read. I did not even finish the book. | 4.0 / 5.0

from North Point Press
Price: $18.15
Customer Review:
The only pleasant thing I found about this book: I didn't pay for it. As a concerned but casual environmentalist, I borrowed this one from the library and am very glad I did. I was expecting a landmark book about upcycling and the methodology by which industry might design products that can be fully... more info | 4.5 / 5.0
