Book of the Week - "The World is Flat: A brief history of the Twenty-First Century" by Thomas Friedman. The World is Flat is Friedman's account of the great changes taking place in our time, as advances in technology and communications put people all over the globe in touch as never before - creating an explosion of wealth in India and China, and challenging the rest of us to run even faster just to stay in place. Friedman shows how and why globalization has now shifted into warp drive and brilliantly demystifies the new flat world for readers, allowing them to make sense of the often bewildering scene unfolding before their eyes.
