The maps are not properly labelled and features mentioned in the text are not highlighted. The Power of Geography: Ten Maps That Reveal the Future of Our World by Tim Marshall is the sequel to Prisoners of Geography, which looks at 10 different areas around the world (as well as Space) and how their geopolitics have influenced their history right up to present day. The title refers to Geography, yet the maps are very inadequate in black and gray making it difficult to distinguish features. ![]() |
