Three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Thomas Friedman, author of the best-selling book The World is Flat, will initiate the Maverick Speakers Series at The University of Texas at Arlington. The Maverick Speakers Series is an in-depth look at the people, ideas, actions and solutions that impact the world around us. The lectures, scheduled periodically through spring 2009, are free to the entire community and feature some of the leading voices of our time. Friedman will discuss his newest book Hot, Flat, and Crowded: Why We Need a Green Revolution and How It Can Revive America. He proposes that an ambitious national strategy which he calls "Geo-Greenism"is needed to save the planet from overheating and is also needed to make America healthier, richer, more innovative, more productive and more secure.
