Summary
Tim Marshall: The Power of Geography
Tim Marshall's world bestseller In the shackles of geography showed how the possibilities of every country are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Since then, the geography has not changed. But the world is. In another enlightening book, Marshall explores ten regions that will shape global politics in a new age of great power rivalry: Australia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the United Kingdom, Greece, Turkey, the Sahel, Ethiopia, Spain, and space. Find out why Europe's next refugee crisis is closer than thought as trouble simmers in the Sahel, why the Middle East must move away from oil and sand to secure its future, why the Eastern Mediterranean is one of the most turbulent hot spots of the twenty-first century, and why space above the Earth's atmosphere will become the world's next battlefield. In Marshall's recognizable style - written wittily and wittily - The Power of Geography insightfully and excitingly shows how geography shapes the past, present, and future of humanity.
