From the Inside Flap:

This updated and expanded edition of Friedman’s 2005 bestseller featuers a hundred new pages of fresh reporting, insights, and commentary, drawn both from his 2005 travels (to India, to China, to the Middle East) and from his encounters with readers around the country, who have shared their accounts of the flattening of the world as it is being felt in the American heartland.
