I have a book review in the latest issue of the American Prospect, covering three books:

Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution — and How It Can Renew America, by Thomas L. Friedman Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 438 pages, $27.95
Earth: The Sequel: The Race To Reinvent Energy and Stop Global Warming, by Fred Krupp and Miriam Horn, W.W. Norton, 279 pages, $24.95
Coming Clean: Breaking America’s Addiction To Oil and Coal, by Michael Brune, Sierra Club Books, 269 pages, $14.95

The review mostly focuses on Friedman’s book. You can read the first three paragraphs here — I guess you need a subscription to read the rest. (UPDATE: the entire review is now online.)
