Book in good condition but slow delivery

Book arrived in good condition, but took far too long to get to my place. even though it was standard shipping, it took too long. Book was fine though.

We have become a global village

This is the most fascinating,educational and exciting if not sometimes terrifying narrative of the world in which we are now living..the 21st century.The author skillfully stimulates and enhances our consciousness of this century of digital technology and the Internet which can connect all of us into any far corner of the world. The consequences of this so called globalization may vary from good to not too good,the latter depending on what degree each country value the education of their population to meet the demands of the 21st century. These demands of the modern world include competitivenss,innovation,research,economic and political stability and a sound environmental management, to name a few.

The bottom line is that a serious and effective education is a necessity for survival and adaptation to our present world as it becomes "flatter and flatter". Thomas Friedman has clearly and brilliantly depicted this ongoing trend as it affects our present lives. Anyone,any state or nation resilient to these ongoing inevitable changes will be engulfed by a cloud of obsolescence which will sadly lead to their deterioration.

I highly recommend this very timely book to everyone interested in gaining more insight into what is going on around us and hopefully arm us with a better knowledge of how to cope with them. Probably it won't be out of sight to also suggest that a somewhat modified version but equally concise edition of this book be considered in a way made suitable for our younger readers of high school age to captivate their curiosity,imagination and motivation. For is it not plain common sense that a valuable asset of a country is their youth ,the forerunners of the future generation on whose intelligence and rationality that country will be preordained.

Definitely 5 stars for this remarkable work.
