The Power of Geography

On Thursday 22 April pupils, students and parents are looking forward to attending a brilliant virtual talk by Tim Marshall, author of the best-selling book Prisoners of Geography, which will be hosted by the Royal Geographical Society.

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 his revelatory new book, Marshall explores 10 regions that are set to shape global politics in a new age of great-power rivalry. 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 21st century; and why the Earth’s atmosphere is set to become the world’s next battleground.
