Tim Marshall

In this New York Times bestseller, updated for 2016, an award-winning journalist uses ten maps of crucial regions to explain the geo-political strategies of the world powers—“fans of geography, history, and politics (and maps) will be enthralled” (Fort Worth Star-Telegram).Maps have a mysterious hold over us. Whether ancient, crumbling parchments or generated by Google, maps tell us things we want to know, not only about our current location or where we are going but about the world in general. And yet, when it comes to geo-politics, much of what we are told is generated by analysts and other experts who have neglected to refer to a map of the place in question.All leaders of nations are constrained by geography. In “one of the best books about geopolitics” (The Evening Standard), now updated to include 2016 geopolitical developments, journalist Tim Marshall examines Russia, China, the US, Latin America, the Middle East, Africa, Europe, Japan, Korea, and Greenland and the Arctic—their weather, seas, mountains, rivers, deserts, and borders—to provide a context often missing from our political reportage: how the physical characteristics of these countries affect their strengths and vulnerabilities and the decisions made by their leaders.Offering “a fresh way of looking at maps” (The New York Times Book Review), Marshall explains the complex geo-political strategies that shape the globe. Why is Putin so obsessed with Crimea? Why was the US destined to become a global superpower? Why does China’s power base continue to expand? Why is Tibet destined to lose its autonomy? Why will Europe never be united? The answers are geographical. “In an ever more complex, chaotic, and interlinked world, Prisoners of Geography is a concise and useful primer on geopolitics” (Newsweek) and a critical guide to one of the major determining factors in world affairs.

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.‘Another outstanding guide to the modern world. Marshall is a master at explaining what you need to know and why.’ Peter Frankopan

Spy satellites orbiting the moon. Space metals worth more than most countries’ GDP. People on Mars within the next ten years. This isn’t science fiction. It’s astropolitics. Humans are heading up and out, and we’re taking our power struggles with us. Soon, what happens in space will shape human history as much the mountains, rivers and seas have on Earth. It’s no coincidence that Russia, China and the USA are leading the way. The next fifty years will change the face of global politics. In this gripping book, bestselling author Tim Marshall lays bare the new geopolitical realities to show how we got here and where we’re going, covering the new space race; great-power rivalry; technology; economics; war; and what it means for all of us down here on Earth. Written with all the insight and wit that have made Marshall the UK’s most popular writer on geopolitics, this is the essential read on power, politics and the future of humanity.

New from the No.1 Sunday Times bestselling author of Prisoners of GeographyWe feel more divided than ever.This riveting analysis tells you why.Walls are going up. Nationalism and identity politics are on the rise once more. Thousands of miles of fences and barriers have been erected in the past ten years, and they are redefining our political landscape. There are many reasons why we erect walls, because we are divided in many ways: wealth, race, religion, politics. In Europe the ruptures of the past decade threaten not only European unity, but in some countries liberal democracy itself. In China, the Party’s need to contain the divisions wrought by capitalism will define the nation’s future. In the USA the rationale for the Mexican border wall taps into the fear that the USA will no longer be a white majority country in the course of this century.Understanding what has divided us, past and present, is essential to understanding much of what’s going on in the world today. Covering China; the USA; Israel and Palestine; the Middle East; the Indian Subcontinent; Africa; Europe and the UK, bestselling author Tim Marshall presents a gripping and unflinching analysis of the fault lines that will shape our world for years to come.‘A timely and exhilarating clamber over the walls of history’ – Peter Frankopan, author of The Silk Roads“Striking words … Tim Marshall performs the daunting, yet highly pertinent, task of trying to make sense of one of the biggest issues of our times: in a world that is increasingly globalised, a backlash apparently grows ever stronger. By taking a global view, Divided successfully brings some much-needed perspective” – Northern Slant

A gripping eyewitness account of a major 20th-century military conflict by the UK's most popular writer on geopoliticsThe shattering of Yugoslavia in the 1990s showed that, after nearly 50 years of peace, war could return to Europe. It came to its bloody conclusion in Kosovo in 1999.Tim Marshall, then diplomatic editor at Sky News, was on the ground covering the Kosovo War. This is his illuminating account of how events unfolded, a thrilling journalistic memoir drawing on personal experience, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with intelligence officials from five countries. Twenty years on from the war’s end, with the rise of Russian power, a weakened NATO and stalled EU expansion, this story is more relevant than ever, as questions remain about the possibility of conflict on European soil. Utterly gripping, this is Tim Marshall at his very best: behind the lines, under fire and full of the insight that has made him one of Britain’s foremost writers on geopolitics.

Comprendere la geografia è cruciale per capire il mondo com’è oggi e come potrebbe essere in futuro: fiumi, mari, catene montuose hanno sempre condizionato, e continuano a influenzare, le guerre e le vicende politiche in tutti gli angoli del mondo. Partendo dallo studio della conformazione e delle preziose risorse della Russia, Tim Marshall ricostruisce le ragioni e le ossessioni che hanno fatto la storia di questo territorio sterminato e inospitale – dall’invasione napoleonica nel 1812 alle campagne avviate nel corso delle due guerre mondiali – e che oggi plasmano i progetti politici di Vladimir Putin in Ucraina.

Il conflitto israelo-palestinese, che infiamma il Medio Oriente dal 1948, riesplode periodicamente e si conferma come una delle principali cause di instabilità della regione. Dalla nascita dello stato di Israele lo scontro tra sionismo ebraico e nazionalismo arabo ha creato fratture ideologiche divenute via via sempre più profonde a causa di diversità culturali, ostilità religiose, disuguaglianze economiche. Come conciliare la ricerca degli ebrei di una patria sicura dopo secoli di persecuzioni culminate nell’orrore della Shoah con la rivendicazione di uno stato autonomo da parte del popolo palestinese? Tim Marshall, esperto di geopolitica internazionale, analizza le barriere non solo fisiche che ostacolano il dialogo fra i due popoli e mette in luce le radicali divisioni al loro interno che rendono al momento difficile, forse impossibile, una soluzione pacifica e duratura del conflitto.

The Case for Freedom, the first book in the The Freedom Driven Life series, is an investigation into the reality of Freedom and how it has been either embraced or rejected (mostly rejected) throughout human history. Simply put, there is no Freedom to embrace if there are multiple diverse definitions, and especially if Freedom is whatever you want it to be. Why is "Freedom" capitalized? Because the concept is more important than most of us realize. The more I learn about Freedom and experience being Free, I gain a deeper understanding that Freedom is a nourishment, a life-sustaining force within me and for the world at large. Once you have tasted Freedom, can you be content with anything less? When true Freedom is the force that drives your life, it cannot be replaced. Once removed, life ceases to have real purpose. Due to the absolute reality and supreme majesty of Freedom, I believe that an understanding of what Freedom is and where it originates from should be the core responsibility of every individual throughout the world. How to live in Freedom should be the primary focus of all parents raising their children; Freedom should be the constant theme of all teachers instructing their students; Freedom should be every individual's number-one personal goal.As you will see in The Case for Freedom, for individuals and whole nations worldwide the solution to overcoming mankind's problems is the proactive embracing of Freedom.

Satélites espiões orbitando a Lua. Metais espaciais valendo mais do que o PIB de muitos países. Pessoas habitando Marte dentro dos próximos dez anos. Isso não é ficção científica — é astropolítica. Do mesmo autor de Prisioneiros da geografia, uma viagem vertiginosa pelo terreno da nova era espacial. Neste livro fascinante, Tim Marshall inova ao apresentar o espaço como um campo geopolítico inédito. Abrindo com uma breve história da relação da humanidade com o universo, dos primeiros mapas planetários até a criação dos telescópios, destaca que a política sempre influenciou essa trajetória — as primeiras jornadas no espaço, por exemplo, foram impulsionadas pela Guerra Fria.Baseado em fontes e referências que lhe permitem traçar um panorama desse novo palco de disputas, Marshall dedica um capítulo para cada uma das três principais potências que hoje lideram a corrida — China, Estados Unidos e Rússia —, analisando seus planos presentes e futuros. O autor também compara as visões culturais ocidentais e orientais sobre a exploração espacial, refletindo numa abordagem diferente sobre o propósito de cada país; examina o papel do setor privado nessa arena em expansão; destaca a importância de uma regulação mais adequada por mecanismos legais; e, entre tantos tópicos fascinantes, descreve as variadas fontes de possíveis conflitos e desacordos, incluindo a questão do lixo espacial.Exímio comunicador, Marshall reafirma seu talento ao mostrar a realidade daquilo que até bem pouco só poderia figurar nas páginas de ficção científica. Ao combinar diferentes disciplinas e uma narrativa repleta de grandes protagonistas, empreende uma viagem outrora inimaginável, fornecendo elementos esclarecedores para a compreensão de uma ordem mundial que ultrapassará as fronteiras terrestres.

Please Note That The Following Individual Books As Per Original ISBN and Cover Image In this Listing shall be Dispatched Tim Marshall 3 Books Collection Set (Worth Dying For, Shadowplay, Divided): Worth Dying For thousands of years flags have represented our hopes and dreams. We wave them. Burn them. March under their colours. And still, in the 21st century, we die for them. Flags fly at the UN, on the Arab street, from front porches in Texas. They represent the politics of high power as well as the politics of the mob. The shattering of Yugoslavia in the 1990s showed that, after nearly 50 years of peace, war could return to Europe. It came to its bloody conclusion in Kosovo in 1999. Tim Marshall, then diplomatic editor at Sky News, was on the ground covering the Kosovo War. This is his illuminating account of how events unfolded, a thrilling journalistic memoir drawing on personal experience, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with intelligence officials from five countries. Every story has two sides, and so does every wall. We’re in a new era of tribalism and the barricades are going up. Money, race, religion, these are the things that divide us. Trump’s wall says as much about America’s divided past as it does its future. The Great Firewall of China separates ‘us’ from ‘them’. In Europe, the explosive combination of politics and migration threatens liberal democracy itself.
