Jolly Geo book recommendations
Prisoners of Geography
Tim Marshall
An excellent introduction to how geography has shaped the world as we know it, for instance how India and China grew to be global super-powers on each other’s doorstep, or how navigable rivers helped Europe grow into colonial powers. Maps provided! I’ve recommended this to many friends and family and they’ve all loved it – hugely popular.
The Power of Geography
Tim Marshall
The must-read sequel to Prisoners of Geography, with more of a focus on the contemporary geopolitical issues risks the world faces.
The Future of Geography
Tim Marshall
As above but applied to space. The geography and geopolitics of space!
