Tom is very excited about the unique situation we find ourselves in. To recap, Tom will be going on Hugh's show approximately eight more times in the next couple of months to cover a chapter per appearance of Tom's first major book, The Pentagon's New Map.
With that in mind, let me point you to some resources.
(By the way, I'm Tom's webmaster.)
First of all, you should buy the book. See that Amazon box over there in the sidebar? Click on it ;-) (Or click here.)
Tom's home page contains links to lots of his material.
Since Tom and Hugh will be talking about the The Pentagon's New Map, let me point you to the index page for that book. There's tons of material there, including the 'Expanded DVD/Director's Commentary'.
If you don't already know, PNM (that's how we abbreviate the first book) came out of Tom's PowerPoint Brief which he has given thousands of times. Many older slides from the Brief are available in the Director's Commentary section. You can especially find them in the Storyboard section.
But there's nothing like hearing or, better, seeing and hearing the Brief. We have a separate Brief page that has many links to AV presentations of the Brief. The highest quality versions are probably the DVDs that you can buy from C-SPAN, but there are many no cost options as well.
Finally, Tom has over 4000 posts on his weblog. Why not click here, search for your favorite topic (type it in the Google search box after the 'site:thomaspmbarnett.com'), and see what comes up?
If you have any questions, leave them in the comments on this thread.
We're excited you're here and look forward to a fun couple of months!

I've read PNM and found that there were so many ideas and concepts that it was like being back in college for a one semester class (I was a physics major so my reading wasn't light). If you wanted to realy understand the book, you had to take your time. When I started on BFA, I thought that Tom had surely used up his knowledge base in the previous book. How wrong I was. I am back in another one semester class. The blog is a great addition on any movement that has occured since both books were written.

Dr. Barnett;
Great story on connectivity. Finances, terrorism, bad guys from failed states and the flow of money. As you have said the financial world is a preview of globalization to come for everything else. How do Core nation-states handle global capital flows without a set of rules that are open to everyone else that wants in the game.
