Synopsis
From the author of the New York Times bestseller Prisoners of Geography, the highly anticipated follow-up that uses ten maps of crucial regions around the globe to explain the geopolitical strategies of today&’s world powers and what it means for our future.Tim Marshall&’s global bestseller Prisoners of Geography offered us a &“fresh way of looking at maps&” (The New York Times Book Review), showing how every nation&’s choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Since then, the geography hasn&’t changed, but the world has. Now, in this revelatory new book, Marshall takes us into ten regions that are set to shape global politics and power. Find out why the Earth&’s atmosphere is the world&’s next battleground; why the fight for the Pacific is just beginning; and why Europe&’s next refugee crisis is closer than we think. In ten chapters covering Australia, The Sahel, Greece, Turkey, the UK, Iran, Ethiopia, Saudi Arabia, Spain and Space, Marshall explains how a region&’s geography and physical characteristics affect the decisions made by its leaders. Innovative, compelling, and delivered with Marshall&’s trademark wit and insight, this is a gripping and enlightening exploration of the power of geography to shape humanity&’s past, present, and—most importantly—our future.
