Sinossi
Se in passato i cieli hanno ispirato i miti della creazione, influenzato le culture e stimolato il progresso scientifico, oggi la geografia dello spazio inizia ad assomigliare sempre più a un’estensione di quella terrestre. Gli esseri umani stanno trasferendo gli stati nazionali, le aziende, la storia, la politica e i conflitti molto sopra le loro teste, rivoluzionando inevitabilmente anche la vita sul nostro pianeta. Dopo lo straordinario successo delle 10 mappe che spiegano il mondo Tim Marshall alza lo sguardo verso il cielo, vera nuova frontiera della geopolitica mondiale, e delinea le prossime, decisive tappe dello sviluppo aerospaziale: satelliti spia orbiteranno intorno alla Luna, futuro terreno di scontro per ’approvvigionamento di acqua e terre rare, mentre le grandi potenze mondiali, a partire da Stati Uniti, Russia e Cina, saranno impegnate a ridefinire le loro sfere d’influenza affrontandosi in vere e proprie guerre stellari. Tutto questo non è fantascienza: è la realtà che promette di concretizzarsi nei prossimi anni, quando l’avanzamento tecnologico e militare ci catapulterà in una nuova era, quella dell’astropolitica.

I recently earned a fair amount of National Book Tokens so went to a superstore selling books to do a splurge on some new books, but after finding 7(!) works of fiction that looked interesting I really struggled to find a final 8th read, so I skedaddled to the non-fiction section and found this book Leggi tutto
The Power of Geography is the much-anticipated sequel to Prisoners of Geography, a book that illustrated that a countries choices are constrained by both its landscape and climate. In this follow-up Tim Marshall examines another ten countries of geopolitical interest; this time in terms of the impor Leggi tutto
After all these prize lists, it's a delight to tackle some non-fiction - and Marshall's accessible overview of global politics is just fun to read. While Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Tell You Everything You Need to Know About Global Politics looked at broader regional dynamics, this install Leggi tutto
This one isn't really about geography - there is lip service to geographical features e.g. Iran is a fortress as its surrounded by mountains, Australia is an island etc but I think the reference is there just to sell more books, given the success of its predecessor. Instead, this is a collection of g Leggi tutto
قدرت جغرافیا دنباله‌ای بر اثر دیگر تیم مارشال جبر جغرافیا است. مانند کتاب قبلی این کتاب را هم دوست داشتم. در این کتاب در فصل دوم که مربوط به ایران است (خصوصا ایران معاصر) پاراگراف‌هایی حذف و سانسور شدهاند و یا جملاتی با کلماتی دیگر تغییر کرده و به نوعی تعدیل شدهاند. فکر می‌کنم بد نباشد این فصل را Leggi tutto
Waste of time, and poorly written. This book is 100% false advertising. "The Power of Geography". Very little geography. "Ten maps that reveal the future of our world." The maps don't do this whatsoever. In the first book, "Prisoners of Geography", Tim Marshall delivered what he promised. It focused Leggi tutto
"The Power of Geography" by Tim Marshall is an insightful and engaging look at the role of geography in shaping the world's political and economic landscape. Marshall, a former diplomatic editor and foreign correspondent, uses his wealth of knowledge and experience to weave together a compelling nar Leggi tutto
I struggle to explain exactly what I didn't like about this book but it was kind of ... boring? I really liked Marshall's other book, Prisoners of Geography, but this one felt more like listening to your uncle retelling a Wikipedia article at a family gathering.
Prisoners Of Geography was a deserved smash, a clever angle to use geography to actually tell historical stories about current affairs, why the world is the way it is partially due to the way countries grew from their physical limitations. And so there is no shame in a sequel, and it is partially th Leggi tutto
کتاب قدرت جغرافیا ادامه‌ای است بر کتاب جبر جغرافیا، که حتی در ایران هم گویا کتاب پرفروشی بوده، چون حداقل سه ناشر آن را چاپ کرده بودند. تا الان، ندیده‌ام که ناشر دیگری به جز نشرِ همان کتاب قدرت جغرافیا را منتشر کرده باشد. کتاب‌های ژئوپلیتیک عامه‌پسند کم به چشمم می‌خورد. مطمئن نیستم که بازار نشر کمبود Leggi tutto
