The Power of Geography

Ten Maps That Reveal the Future of Our World

De: Tim Marshall

Narrado por: Tim Marshall

The Sunday Times Best Seller

Tim Marshall's global best seller 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 10 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 21st 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.

As read by the author.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Another outstanding guide to the modern world. Marshall is a master at explaining what you need to know and why." (Peter Frankopan)

"I can't imagine reading a better book this year." (Daily Mirror)

Good if you like geography.

Cool. Author has an imagination which is good I guess. Word word word word word

Educative

The author's understanding of our world, history and geography give us an educative insight into past, current and possible future political movements on this planet.
His wit and sense of humor make this reading entertaining too .
Makes me want to learn more.
Excellent book and great writer.

Brilliant

Fascinating, and hope there are many many more, as the world is a big place. Such interesting ways of viewing history and politics through the lens of geography. Narration is great, including wry glints of humor

Tim is excellent as usual

Excellent insights. This book should be read by anyone who is interested in geopolitics today.

nice

a bit too much space speculation in the end.
overall a nice way of looking at nation states

Interesting story, but the first one was better

I liked this book, but after reading his first book, Prisoners of Geography, I thought this one left a little something do be desired. It was interesting but I just thought the first one was more compelling. Also the pronunciations of many place names and words in other languages was not great, and sometimes a little distracting.

As interesting as his last book and the perfect entry

Especially for these covid days into the key information that many of us miss in getting the context of both today’s but more importantly tomorrow’s news stories

Another great one

Read a couple of Tim Marshall’s books and this one is as good as the others. Really interesting. Next a deep dive into the African continent would be great

Interesting

The book provided interesting perspectives on world politics and history. The only thing lacking is further books to read.
