The World is Flat

By Erika Westbrook
Professor Bob Cordell will present a book discussion on The World is Flat: A Brief History of the Twenty-First Century (2005), by Thomas Friedman, on Tuesday, Nov. 29 in the Library.

In his new book, Friedman, the New York Times super-columnist, looks at the bewildering global scene, foreign policy and economic issues.

Friedman, a multiple Pulitzer Prize winner, is also known for previous works such as Longitudes and Attitudes (2002); From Beirut to Jerusalem (1990); and The Lexus and the Olive Tree (2000).
