THE POWER OF GEOGRAPHY

Tim Marshall`s global bestseller Prisoners of Geography showed how every nation`s choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Since then, the geography hasn`t changed. But the world has.In this revelatory new book, Marshall explores ten regions that are set to shape global politics in a new age of great-power rivalry: Australia, Iran, Saudi Arabia, the UK, Greece, Turkey, the Sahel, Ethiopia, Spain and Space. Find out why Europe`s next refugee crisis is closer than it thinks as trouble brews in the Sahel: why the Middle East must look beyond oil and sand to secure its future: why the eastern Mediterranean is one of the most volatile flashpoints of the twenty-first century: and why the Earth`s atmosphere is set to become the world`s next battleground.Delivered with Marshall`s trademark wit and insight, this is a lucid and gripping exploration of the power of geography to shape humanity`s past, present ` and future.
