POLITICS

No, the world isn’t really flat. Friedman is no scientist or explorer, he’s a Pulitzer Prize-winning writer, a New York Times columnist, and reporter covering global politics and economics. By flat Friedman means, in a way, smaller, and he goes on in this bestseller to explain globalization, how and why we have all become connected, and what it means on the smallest personal and grandest political levels.

THE WORLD IS FLAT: A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY, by Thomas L. Friedman (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2005)
