Tim Marshall
The Power of Geography
Ten Maps That Reveal the Future of Our World
Scribner, 2021
What's inside?
Geography, as the popular saying goes, is destiny – and it determines the world’s future.
Recommendation
Journalist Tim Marshall offers up an old but often-overlooked lens through which to comprehend the world: geography, which he argues has always influenced political events and always will. He looks at 10 areas around the planet – and even above it – that are each grappling with momentous issues, like migration, climate change, technology and renewable energy. Though he covers a great deal of material, he peppers his facts with entertaining anecdotes from his career as a front-line journalist. Marshall’s valuable text draws readers’ attention to the Earth’s frequently unnoticed but important regions – including space.
