The Power of Geography: Ten Maps That Reveal the Future of Our World

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\x26rsquo;s world powers and what it means for our future.

Tim Marshall\x26rsquo;s global bestseller Prisoners of Geography offered us a \x26ldquo;fresh way of looking at maps\x26rdquo; (The New York Times Book Review), showing how every nation\x26rsquo;s choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Since then, the geography hasn\x26rsquo;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\x26rsquo;s atmosphere is the world\x26rsquo;s next battleground; why the fight for the Pacific is just beginning; and why Europe\x26rsquo;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\x26rsquo;s geography and physical characteristics affect the decisions made by its leaders. Innovative, compelling, and delivered with Marshall\x26rsquo;s trademark wit and insight, this is a gripping and enlightening exploration of the power of geography to shape humanity\x26rsquo;s past, present, and\x26#8212;most importantly\x26#8212;our future.
