Prisoners of geography : ten maps that explain everything about the world / Tim Marshall. by Marshall, Tim, 1959- author. New York, NY : Scribner, 2015. Subjects Geopolitics.   World politics. ISBN:  9781501121463 (hardcover) : 1501121464 (hardcover) Description:  291 pages : maps ; 24 cm Edition:  First Scribner hardcover edition. Requests:  0 Summary:  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 (covering Russia; China; the USA; Latin America; the Middle East; Africa; India and Pakistan; Europe; Japan and Korea; and Greenland and the Arctic), using maps, essays and occasionally the personal experiences of the widely traveled 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.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 320.12 Ma Checked out 06/10/2024 Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.12 Marshall Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.12 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.12 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Kalihi-Palama Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.12 Ma Checked out 07/01/2024 Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.12 Ma missing - lost   Add Copy to MyList Liliha Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.12 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.12 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 320.12 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Pahoa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 320.12 Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
