' I can' t imagine reading a better book this year' Daily Mirror ' Another outstanding guide to the modern world. Marshall is a master at explaining what you need to know and why' Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads ' A skilful navigation of the regions that could define geopolitics for future generations. One to read to stay ahead of the game' Dharshini David, author of The Almighty Dollar 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.
