From Beirut to Jerusalem (With a New Preface)
“If you’re only going to read one book on the Middle East, this is it.” —Seymour M. Hersh Winner of the National Book Award | A National Bestseller A modern classic of Middle Eastern reportage, now with a new preface by the author. One of the most thought-provoking books ever written about the Middle East, From Beirut to Jerusalem remains vital to our understanding of this complex and volatile region of the world. Three-time Pulitzer Prize winner Thomas L. Friedman drew upon his ten years of experience reporting from Lebanon and Israel to write this now-classic work of journalism. In a new preface, he updates his journey with a fresh analysis of the region today, setting the Gazan war that began with Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, as well as the Saudi-Iranian rivalry and epochal changes in the Gulf, in the context of a conflict between networks of “inclusion” and “resistance” that has defined the area in recent decades. Rich with anecdote, history, analysis, and autobiography, From Beirut to Jerusalem will continue to shape how we see the Middle East for many years to come.

Hot, Flat, and Crowded 2.0
A New York Times Book Review Notable Book of the Year A Washington Post Best Book of the Year A Businessweek Best Business Book of the Year A Chicago Tribune Best Book of the Year 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 2.0 is classic Thomas L. Friedman: fearless, incisive, forward-looking, and rich in surprising common sense about the challenge--and the promise--of the future.

This Independence Day edition of The World is Flat 3.0 includes an an exclusive preview of That Used to Be Us: How America Fell Behind in the World It Invented and How We Can Come Back, by Thomas L. Friedman and Michael Mandelbaum, on sale September 5th, 2011. A New Edition of the Phenomenal #1 Bestseller "One mark of a great book is that it makes you see things in a new way, and Mr. Friedman certainly succeeds in that goal," the Nobel laureate Joseph E. Stiglitz wrote in The New York Times reviewing The World Is Flat in 2005. In this new edition, Thomas L. Friedman includes fresh stories and insights to help us understand the flattening of the world. Weaving new information into his overall thesis, and answering the questions he has been most frequently asked by parents across the country, this third edition also includes two new chapters--on how to be a political activist and social entrepreneur in a flat world; and on the more troubling question of how to manage our reputations and privacy in a world where we are all becoming publishers and public figures. The World Is Flat 3.0 is an essential update on globalization, its opportunities for individual empowerment, its achievements at lifting millions out of poverty, and its drawbacks--environmental, social, and political, powerfully illuminated by the Pulitzer Prize--winning author of The Lexus and the Olive Tree.

Longitudes and Attitudes
America''s leading observer of the international scene on the minute-by-minute events of September 11, 2001--before, during and after . As the Foreign Affairs columnist for the The New York Times, Thomas L. Friedman is in a unique position to interpret the world for American readers. Twice a week, Friedman''s celebrated commentary provides the most trenchant, pithy,and illuminating perspective in journalism. Longitudes and Attitudes contains the columns Friedman has published about the most momentous news story of our time, as well as a diary of his experiences and reactions during this period of crisis. As the author writes, the book is "not meant to be a comprehensive study of September 11 and all the factors that went into it. Rather, my hope is that it will constitute a ''word album'' that captures and preserves the raw, unpolished, emotional and analytical responses that illustrate how I, and others, felt as we tried to grapple with September and its aftermath, as they were unfolding." Readers have repeatedly said that Friedman has expressed the essence of their own feelings, helping them not only by explaining who "they" are, but also by reassuring us about who "we" are. More than any other journalist writing, Friedman gives voice to America''s awakening sense of its role in a changed world.

The Lexus and the Olive Tree
A brilliant investigation of globalization, the most significant socioeconomic trend in the world today, and how it is affecting everything we do-economically, politically, and culturally-abroad and at home. As foreign affairs columnist for The New York Times, Thomas L. Friedman crisscrosses the globe talking with the world''s economic and political leaders, and reporting, as only he can, on what he sees. Now he has used his years of experience as a reporter and columnist to produce a pithy, trenchant, riveting look at the worldwide market forces that are driving today''s economies and how they are playing out both internationally and locally. Globalization is the technologically driven expression of free-market capitalism, and as such is essentially an American creation. It has irrevocably changed the way business is done and has raised living standards throughout the world. But powerful local forces-of religion, race, ethnicity, and cultural identity-are in competition with technology for the hearts and minds of their societies. Finding the proper balance between the Lexus and the olive tree is the great game of globalization-and the ultimate theme of Friedman''s challenging, provocative book, essential reading for all who care about how the world really works.

Thế giới Phẳng

Thế giới Phẳng
Cuốn sách bán chạy nhất mang tính hiện tượng của người đã đoạt giải thưởng Pulitzer và là tác giả của cuốn sách "Chiếc xe Lexus và cây Ôliu". "Đặc điểm của một cuốn sách hay là nó khiến bạn nhìn nhận mọi thứ theo một nhãn quan mới, và xét theo tiêu chí này, tác giả Friedman đã thực sự thành công" - nhận xét của Joseph E.Stiglitz, người đoạt giải Nobel, trong bài viết đánh giá về cuốn sách Thế giới phẳng đăng trên tờ Thời báo New York năm 2005. Trong lần tái bản có cập nhật và bổ sung này, Friedman đã trình bày cuốn sách của mình theo một nhãn quan mới, mở ra những câu chuyện và tư tưởng mới giúp chúng ta hiểu thêm về sự làm phẳng thế giới. Thế giới phẳng là câu chuyện về những biến động lớn diễn ra trong thời đại của chúng ta, khi mà những tiến bộ nhanh đến chóng mặt trong lĩnh vực công nghệ và thông tin liên lạc đã nối liền mọi người trên thế giới lại gần nhau hơn bao giờ hết, giúp cho một số quốc gia trở nên vô cùng phồn thịnh và đòi hỏi chúng ta phải tiến nhanh hơn nếu không muốn bị tụt hậu. Cuốn sách này được dịch từ phiên bản mới nhất đã được tác giả cập nhật và bổ sung trên 100 trang viết mới, trong đó T.Friedman đưa ra những chiêm nghiệm và bình luận mà ông tích lũy được trong suốt quá trình bôn ba trên nước Mỹ và khắp thế giới, tới bất cứ nơi nào chịu tác động bởi sự làm phẳng thế giới. Friedman vạch ra “nguyên nhân và cách thức mà toàn cầu hóa đang bùng nổ với tốc độ ghê gớm” (Robert Wright, Slate) cũng như giải mã thế giới phẳng một cách rất tài tình khiến độc giả hiểu được những biến động khôn lường đang diễn ra ngay trước mắt họ. Bằng một khả năng phân tích những vấn đề phức tạp về chính sách đối ngoại và kinh tế đạt tới mức phi thường, ông đã mô tả cách thức mà sự làm phẳng thế giới đã xuất hiện vào buổi ban mai của thế kỷ 21, tầm quan trọng của nó đối với các quốc gia, các công ty, các cộng đồng và các cá nhân, đồng thời chỉ ra biện pháp để các chính phủ và các xã hội thích nghi với thể giới phẳng cũng như lý do vì sao có những thế lực muốn cản trở nó. Hơn bao giờ hết, dưới ngòi bút đầy sức mạnh của một trong những nhà báo có uy tín nhất của nước Mỹ, Thế giới phẳng phản ánh bộ mặt mới nhất của toàn cầu hóa cũng như những thành công và cả những nỗi bất bình mà nó mang lại.
