While an easy read, it would be more compelling if the geography, and its specific influence on the history and politics of a given area, were given greater emphasis. Unfortunately, each chapter begins with the broad assessment of terrain, then quickly veers off into the political, military, and cultural issues that define each region. How the geography continues to influence a region’s affairs is ignored. For instance, whereas geography created culture and civilization hundreds to thousands of years ago, how does it continue to influence (or not) events in today’s highly interconnected society, where communication and interaction are easier and less constrained by geographical boundaries?

"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"-- Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
