Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World

It helps me to know more about the whole world. Everything that happened was explained in details

I would like better quality paper. There is so much that I can learn about geography and its impact on countries.

Tra i migliori libri mai letti in ambito geopolitico

I bought this book for further my knowledge of geography and politics for my A-level studies and found myself not being able to put it down. Tim Marshall explains the basics of international relations and its relation to geography in an easy to read manner. Marshall explains various countries' problems with geography. He starts with Russia and explains why Putin chose to annex Crimea by explaining Russia's geography and history; he talks about the rise of the BRICS and the next superpowers, and how developing countries are gaining a foothold on the world stage. The book is split into chapters each talking about an area of the world and is interspersed with maps, although the book's subtitle is a bit misleading as the maps are more complimentary than instrumental in the book's explanation of geopolitics. For an introduction to geopolitics, this is a great book. If you are studying Politics and/or Geography at A-level, or simply want an introduction to these concepts, this book is a great starting point. It provides many examples and case studies for A-level that come in very useful. It is a bit short, although for some that may be a virtue if you are looking for a light read.

A well documented book which offers a long-term perspective, both historical and prospective, written by an author manifestly knowledgeable in international affairs. The book remains accessible to the non-expert, though. I strongly recommend that book.
