| Summary/Abstract |
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. 'An urgent and accessible study of the forces shaping our future on earth and beyond.' Ed Husain, author of The House of Islam 'A compelling account of the return of geopolitics by the master of maps.' Professor Brendan Simms, author of Britain's Europe 'An insight into what will shape the world . . . clear writing in complex times.' Eamonn Holmes 'Quite simply, one of the best books about geopolitics you could imagine: reading it is like having a light shone on your understanding' Nicholas Lezard, Evening Standard, on Prisoners of Geography.

| Summary/Abstract |
All leaders are constrained by geography. Their choices are limited by mountains, rivers, seas and concrete. Yes, to understand world events you need to understand people, ideas and movements... but if you don't know geography, you'll never have the full picture. To understand Putin's actions, for example, it is essential to consider that, to be a world power, Russia must have a navy. And if its ports freeze for six months each year then it must have access to a warm water port -- hence, the annexation of Crimea was the only option for Putin. To understand the Middle East, it is crucial to know that geography is the reason why countries have logically been shaped as they are -- and this is why invented countries (e.g. Syria, Iraq, Libya) will not survive as nation states. Spread over ten chapters, using maps, essays and occasionally the personal experiences of the widely travelled author, "Prisoners of Geography" looks at the past, present and future to offer an essential guide to one of the major determining factors in world history.
