We love good books, especially free ones, and we especially love free good books that you can listen to while driving, working out or whatever.
So we’re happy to pass on a tip from reader Ryan Chapman, who alerted us in the comments about a promotion from Pulitzer Prize winning author Thomas Friedman. You can get a free audio version of his best-seller The World is Flat, here until Aug. 4.
From the publisher:
“The World is Flat is Thomas L. Friedman’s account of of the great changes taking place in our time, as lightening-swift 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.”
The giveaway is a promotion for Friedman’s upcoming new book, Hot, Flat and Crowded, a chapter of which is also included in the promotion.

It is a good time, I guess, to read a small, but interesting book, by Aronica and Ramdoo, “The World is Flat? A Critical Analysis of Thomas Friedman’s New York Times Bestseller,” whichoffers a good counterperspective to Friedman’s theory on globalization.
It is a small book compared to the 600 page tome by Friedman, and aimed at the common man and students alike. As popular as the book may be, some reviewers assert that by what it leaves out, Friedman’s book is dangerous. The authors point to the fact that there isn’t a single table or data footnote in Friedman’s entire book.
“Globalization is the greatest reorganization of the world since the Industrial Revolution,” says Aronica.
