Brief Summary
Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution – and How It Can Renew America
In this brilliant, essential book, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Thomas L. Friedman speaks to America's urgent need for national renewal and explains how a green revolution can bring about both a sustainable environment and a sustainable America.
Friedman explains how global warming, rapidly growing populations, and the expansion of the world’s middle class through globalization have produced a dangerously unstable planet--one that is "hot, flat, and crowded." In this Release 2.0 edition, he also shows how the very habits that led us to ravage the natural world led to the meltdown of the financial markets and the Great Recession.
The challenge of a sustainable way of life presents the United States with an opportunity not only to rebuild its economy, but to lead the world in radically innovating toward cleaner energy. And it could inspire Americans to something we haven't seen in a long time--nation-building in America--by summoning the intelligence, creativity, and concern for the common good that are our greatest national resources.
Hot, Flat, and Crowded is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future.

Maandamanos appear to be a scheme by those who caused Baba’s flop to hide the truth from him. Those who misadvised him then,are still doing it today to hide their true value in Raila’s journey. It is a shame

Thank you for your book, above-mentioned. I am one among the millions frustrated Kenyans about the outcome of last year’s elections! I have been enlightened by your book which you have written in a precise, forthright & inspiring way. I hope many Kenyans & especially supporters of Baba read it!
With humility, I think i can describe you as a patriotic, honest, brilliant, courageous & very independent-minded Kenyan!… In your conclusion, you have suggested that we need a successor to Baba who is brave & ready to suffer to redeem Kenya, otherwise, with the exit of Baba one day, without somebody like him who can stand fearlessly for Kenya, I shudder to imagine what would happen to Kenyans especially with the current type of regime!
I am an old man. I am not a politician……May I suggest that you gather like-minded Kenyans like you & start a movement to mentor such a person as described above! …. Hopefully you become the person!!
Anyway, thank you for educating us. We continue to pray for our motherland and I believe soon & very soon the seeds of good governance which were sown by the many fighters for democracy and watered by sweat, suffering & blood of Kenyans will germinate & completely outgrow the weeds of bad governance, greed, corruption & all manner of malaise we witness today!

The best detailed Book indeed!
‘Raila The 5th’ ended up being a JOKE.

I’ll rank it a 5* mainly for the responsibility the author takes to put his truth in writing something that many Kenyans will not do. We are still looking for something worthwhile to read from the 2017 election happenings. Well done Mr. Kanchory

The truth is always the truth, regardless of what many will or may say, but it will remain with its value.

Raymond –
Sensational in title and hype. Very little depth. This is a very shallow account of what could’ve been an exceptional read.
I don’t get the sense of a “tell all” account of exactly why “Baba is not the 5th”.
⭐️/5

While it is a bravery did for Mr Kanchori in authoring truth which many of Odinga’s disciples will despute bitterly. It becomes unreasonable for the same author to still stand some ground that he believes Raila won and that opening of the IEBC servers shall vindicate him. The Azimio’s chief agent should market and defend his published findings and stop giving mixed signals.

Ohh. The normal crybaby attitude after loosing an election. A great book but it will be dismissed by the normal culprits.

Truth is like pregnancy one can never hide it for long. Raila Odinga lost and that is the living truth !
The maadamano is his modus operandi to remain popular hiding behind the server.
