The Power of Geography : Ten Maps That Reveal the Future of Our World - Tim Marshall

*THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER*'I can't imagine reading a better book this year' Daily MirrorTim 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 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

The last of the devastating series of conflicts resulting from the breakup of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s, the Kosovo War saw more than 13,500 fatalities, with reports of atrocities, amid controversial intervention and bombing by NATO.

It is also a thrilling journalistic memoir, revealing key strategic insights that went on to shape the ideas behind the million-copy international and no.1 Sunday Times bestseller Prisoners of Geography. Drawing on personal experience, eyewitness accounts, and interviews with intelligence officials from five countries, this is the definitive account of one of the major events in recent geopolitical history, the repercussions of which continue to be felt today.

Budoucnost geografie - Tim Marshall

Tim Marshall si na celém světě získal přízeň sta tisíců čtenářů díky bestsellerům V zajetí geografie, Moc geografie v 21. století, Věk zdí nebo Zemřít pro vlajku. Nyní Marshall přichází s novou knihou Budoucnost geografie, v níž se zaměřuje na vesmír a na astropolitiku. Komu patří vesmír? Již dnes je vesmír strategickým prostorem, o který se vede otevřený i skrytý zápas, přičemž hlavními aktéry probíhajícího klání jsou samozřejmě velmoci Čína, USA a Rusko. Vzhledem k nesmírnému potenciálu, který vesmír lidstvu skýtá, ať už z hlediska komunikačních technologií, bohatství nerostných zdrojů nebo vojenského využití, není pochyb o tom, že právě kosmický prostor se v 21. století stane novou arénou geopolitických střetů. Země nám je už malá a vesmírné závody jsou v plném proudu... Dokáže lidstvo nezměrné možnosti vesmíru rozumně využívat, nebo je vloží do rukou pochybných spekulantů, plutokratů či válečných štváčů?

Zemřít pro vlajku - Tim Marshall

Jestliže ve svých předchozích knihách Tim Marshall dokázal objasnit světovou politiku a popsat lokální i globální krize současnosti pomocí geografie, ve své nové, neméně poutavé knize čtenáři umožňuje nahlédnout do historie, jakož i porozumět výzvám dnešního komplikovaného světa prostřednictvím zdánlivě okrajového fenoménu, jakým jsou vlajky. Vlajky nás po tisíce let provázejí jako mocné symboly naší hrdosti, našich nadějí a našich snů. Máváme jimi, pálíme je, pochodujeme pod jejich barvami a ještě v 21. století za ně umíráme, ale také v jejich jménu zabíjíme. Čtenář bude překvapen, co všechno lze z vlajek, jejich historie a především ze sporů a bojů o tyto národní symboly vyčíst a o čem všem tyto emocemi nabité barevné "kusy látky" vypovídají. Kniha, rozdělená do devíti kapitol, věnovaných Spojeným státům, Velké Británii, Evropě, Blízkému východu, Asii, Africe, Latinské Americe, mezinárodním vlajkám a "vlajkám teroru", se ovšem nevěnuje pouze "velkým" globálním tématům, jež hýbaly a hýbou světem, jakými jsou například etnická a náboženská identita, nacionalismus, islamismus, mezietnické rivality či civi-lizační střety a konflikty, jež lze pozorovat na mnoha místech světa. Autor seznamuje čtenáře také s množstvím málo známých skutečností spjatých s historií vlajek: Dozvíme se například, že pokud je americká vlajka příliš opotřebovaná, existují přesná pravidla a rituály pro uspořádání jejího řádného pohřbu; že počet hvězd na modrém pozadí vlajky Evropské unie je výsledkem náhody (a možná také špetky italské pověrčivosti); že zásadní roli ve vývoji indické vlajky sehrál sám Mahátma Gándhí, zatímco nigerijská vlajka vznikla na základě kresby dvacetiletého studenta, který odpověděl na inzerát v novinách vyzývající k účasti v soutěži o nejlepší návrh vlajky pro nový svrchovaný stát… Tim Marshall tak ve své knize propojuje dávnou historii se současným děním, velká témata s "anekdotickými" příběhy z dějin a ukazuje, co všechno může onen "kus látky" upoutaný k žerdi znamenat a proč potřebujeme staré i nové vlajky znát, chceme-li lépe porozumět tomu, co se děje v dnešním světě.

V zajetí geografie - Tim Marshall

Jak lze pomocí deseti map pochopit světovou politiku Vladimir Putin o sobě říká, že je věřící a má silný vztah k ruské pravoslavné církvi. Je-li tomu tak, možná se každý večer před usnutím modlí a táže Boha: „Proč jen jsi na Ukrajině nestvořil nějaké hory?“Těmito slovy začíná kniha V zajetí geografie, která byla přeložena do několika desítek jazyků a nepřestává budit zájem u široké laické i odborné veřejnosti. Tento brilantní průvodce moderními dějinami na poměrně malé ploše shrnuje to nejdůležitější, co potřebujeme vědět o současném světě. Geografické poměry ovlivnily vývoj celého lidstva a dodnes mají výrazný vliv na rozhodnutí a chování politiků a státníků. Rozhodování těch, kdo stojí v čele sedmi miliard obyvatel této planety, vždycky bylo a bude v nemalé míře určováno řekami, horami, pouštěmi, jezery, oceány a celou řadou dalších geografických a geopolitických faktorů a zákonitostí, jež předurčují naše možnosti - jako to činily od úsvitu věků. Pokud vás zajímá, proč je Putin posedlý Krymem a Ukrajinou, proč byly Spojené státy předurčené stát se světovou velmocí, co stojí za čínskou expanzí nebo proč se Čína nemůže vzdát Tibetu, a jste ochotni se na svět podívat bez předsudků a ideologické předpojatosti, Marshallova kniha je právě pro vás. V deseti kapitolách, věnovaných Rusku, Číně, Spojeným státům, Evropě, Africe, Blízkému východu, Indii a Pákistánu, Japonsku a Koreji, Jižní Americe a Arktidě, z nichž ke každé je přiložena mapa, autor přístupným a přitažlivým způsobem objasňuje v širších souvislostech nejdůležitější okolnosti, které ovlivňují minulost, přítomnost a budoucnost jednotlivých regionů a současných globálních velmocí.

Worth Dying For - Tim Marshall

When you see your nation's flag fluttering in the breeze, what do you feel?; 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.; From the renewed sense of nationalism in China, to troubled identities in Europe and the USA, to the terrifying rise of Islamic State, the world is a confusing place right now and we need to understand the symbols, old and new, that people are rallying round.; In nine chapters (covering the USA, UK, Europe, Middle East, Asia, Africa, Latin America, international flags and flags of terror), Tim Marshall draws on more than twenty-five years of global reporting experience to reveal the histories, the power and the politics of the symbols that unite us - and divide us.

Moc geografie v 21. století - Tim Marshall

Kam se bude svět ubírat v 21. století? V knize Moc geografie v 21. století, bezprostředně navazující na mezinárodní bestseller V zajetí geografie, který ukázal, nakolik jsou možnosti každého národa omezovány a určovány řekami, horami, pouštěmi, jezery, oceány a množstvím dalších geografických a geopolitických faktorů, Tim Marshall nastiňuje, kde leží ohniska budoucích lokálních i globálních krizí a epicentra hrozících konfliktů a střetů. V deseti kapitolách, věnovaných regionům, které budou v nadcházející éře formovat globální politiku, shrnuje to nejdůležitější, co potřebujeme vědět, abychom porozuměli současnému, dynamicky se proměňujícímu světu a dokázali předjímat, co nám blízká, ale i vzdálená budoucnost přinese. Po přečtení knihy snáze pochopíme, proč další dějství uprchlické krize nastane možná dříve, než si myslíme, proč se právě teď rozehrává velký boj o Tichomoří, jaký vývoj se rýsuje ve Středomoří a na Blízkém východě, nebo jak a proč se z vesmíru stává nové bojiště, kde se světové velmoci budou nevyhnutelně střetávat. Stejně jako v předešlé knize i ve svém posledním díle Tim Marshall v širších souvislostech objasňuje klíčové geografické a geopolitické podmínky a zákonitosti, které ovliv¬ňují minulost, přítomnost a budoucnost jed¬notlivých re¬gio¬nů. Vypravme se spolu s ním do Austrálie, afrického Sahelu, Řecka, Turecka, Spojeného království, Íránu, Etiopie, Saúdské Arábie, Španělska a nakonec i do vesmíru a hledejme odpovědi na otázku, čeho se v 21. století můžeme nadít. Kniha je doplněna mapami.

Myths of Geography - Paul Richardson

Is geography really destiny?Our maps may no longer be stalked by dragons and monsters, but our perceptions of the world are still shaped by geographic myths. Myths like Europe being the centre of the world. Or that border walls are the solution to migration.Or that Russia is predestined to threaten its neighbours.In his punchy and authoritative new book, Paul Richardson challenges recent popular accounts of geographical determinism and shows that how we see the world represented often isn't how it really is - that the map is not the territory.Along the way we visit some remarkable places: Iceland's Thingvellir National Park, where you can swim between two continents; Bir Tawil in North Africa, one of the world's only territories not claimed by any country; and we follow the first train that ran across Eurasia between Yiwu in east China and Barking in east London.Written with verve and full of quotable facts, Myths of Geography is a book that will turn your world upside down.

Make, Think, Imagine : The Future of Civilisation - John Browne

Today's unprecedented pace of change leaves many people wondering what new technologies are doing to our lives. Has social media robbed us of our privacy and fed us with false information? Are robots going to take our jobs? Will better healthcare lead to an ageing population that cannot be cared for? And has our demand for energy driven the Earth's climate to the edge of catastrophe?John Browne argues that we need not and must not put the brakes on technological advance. Civilisation is founded on engineering innovation; all progress stems from the human urge to make things and to shape the world around us, resulting in greater freedom, health and wealth for all. Drawing on history, his own experiences and conversations with many of today's great innovators, he uncovers the basis for all progress and its consequences, both good and bad. He argues compellingly that the same spark that triggers each innovation can be used to counter its negative consequences. Make, Think, Imagine provides an eloquent blueprint for how we can keep moving towards a brighter future.

Simon Heffer, Spectator''A deeply sensitive and engaging portrait of a misunderstood county and its people'' Financial Times''A stellar performance'' Jonathan MeadesEssex. A county both famous and infamous: the stuff of tabloid headlines and reality television, consumer culture and right-wing politicians. England''s dark id. But beyond the sensationalist headlines lies a strange and secret place with a rich history: of smugglers and private islands, artists and radicals, myths and legends. It''s where the Peasants'' Revolt began and the Empire Windrush docked. And - from political movements like Brexit to cultural events like TOWIE - where Essex leads, the rest of us often follow. Deeply researched and thoroughly engaging, The Invention of Essex shows that there is more to this fabled English county than meets the eye.

The Land of Maybe - Tim Ecott

''In this excellent book, Ecott''s evocative telling makes me want to go to this weird and wonderful place.'' - PAUL THEROUX''I never want to leave the remote island world so atmospherically, precisely educed between the covers of this book. Ecott''s prose has the power of tides, his perception is as searching as the Atlantic wind, and he has the soul of a natural-born naturalist. A masterpiece.'' - JOHN LEWIS-STEMPLEFollowing the natural cycle of the year, The Land of Maybe captures the essence of ''slow life'' on the 18 remote, mysterious islands which make up the Faroes in the North Atlantic. Closer to the UK than Denmark, this fast disappearing world is home to a close-knit society where just 50,000 people share Viking roots and a language that is unlike any other in Scandinavia.We follow the arrival of the migratory birds, the over-wintering of the sheep and the way food is gathered and eaten in tune with the seasons. Buffeted by the weather and the demands of a volatile natural environment, people still hunt seabirds and herd pilot whales for a significant portion of their basic food needs.This is not a travelogue, but a deeper exploration of how ''to be'' in a tough landscape; a study of a people and a way of life that represents continuity and a deep connection to the past. The Land of Maybe offers not just a refuge from the freneticism of modern life, but lessons about where we come from and how we may find a balance in our lives.

This prescient contemporary history provides a timely reminder that we live in a world that is profoundly interconnected. Following the Silk Roads eastwards from Europe through to China, by way of Russia and the Middle East, Peter Frankopan assesses the global reverberations of continual shifts in the centre of power – all too often absent from headlines in the west. The New Silk Roads asks us to re-examine who we are and where we stand in the world, illuminating the themes on which all our lives and livelihoods depend. The Silk Roads, a major reassessment of world history, has sold over 1 million copies worldwide.

The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy - Tim Burton

Twenty-three illustrated gothic tales from the dark corridors of the imagination of Tim Burton. Burton - the creative genius behind Batman, Edward Scissorhands, Sleepy Hollow and Nightmare Before Christmas, among others - now gives birth to a cast of gruesomely sympathetic children: misunderstood outcasts who struggle to find love and belonging in their cruel, cruel worlds. His lovingly lurid illustrations evoke both the sweetness and tragedy of these hopeful, yet hapless beings.

Tell Me About Yesterday Tomorrow: About the Future of the Past - Nicolaus Schafhausen, Mirjam Zadoff

Authors in discourse about the future and the past – highly controversial, topical and readable Historical events and our knowledge of them mould our understanding of today’s world. The interdisciplinary authorship of this volume focuses on the connection between past and future. A bold and unusual publication whose approaches and themes extend from biographical experiences via intergenerational exchange to the discussion of current social phenomena.To what extent does (lack of) knowledge of the past influence our view of the present and our tales of the future? Authors from the realms of history, art, philosophy, journalism, poetry, cartoons and film investigate complex everyday reality in history and the present and direct their attention towards the shifts in political hegemonies which lead to ostracism, denigration and destruction. They have explicitly chosen an international perspective which shows that social polarisation and radicalisation are not phenomena limited by national boundaries, but are universal social manifestations in a globally interlinked world. With contributions by:Max Czollek, Clémentine Deliss, Simon Denny, Georg Diez, Brenda Draney, Liam Gillick, Marina Gržinić, Andreas Huyssen, Ismail Küpeli, Dieter Lesage, Catrin Lorch, Sven Lütticken, Karamia Müller, Vanessa Joan Müller, Andrea Pető, Monika Rinck, Dirk Rupnow, Piotr Rypson, Philippe Sands, Nicolaus Schafhausen, Dorothea Schöne, Géraldine Schwarz, Nora Sternfeld, Niko Wahl, Mirjam Zadoff

Věk zdí - Proč dnes všude na světě vyrůstají nové hradby - Tim Marshall

Zdi, hranice a hradby, které oddělují národy a rozdělují společnosti, jsou všude na světě na vzestupu. Za posledních dvacet let jsme postavili tisíce kilometrů plotů a zábran, které přetvořily politickou mapu světa. Nejméně pětašedesát zemí, tedy více než třetina států celého světa, si na svých hranicích vybudovala nějaký druh fyzické zábrany. Polovina veškerých zdí, které vyrostly po druhé světové válce, byla vztyčena až po roce 2000. Nerodí se ovšem jen bariéry fyzické: vznikají (staro)nové sociální, kulturní, ideologické, etnické a náboženské bariéry, donedávna soudržné společnosti a komunity se štěpí. Navzdory sílící globalizaci a internetu se zdá, jako bychom dnes byli rozdělenější než kdykoli předtím. Vstoupili jsme do „věku zdí“.Autor světového bestselleru V zajetí geografie ve své nové poutavé knize přináší plastický obraz našeho rozděleného světa. Popisuje a analyzuje novodobé zdi a bariéry, které rozdělují současnou Čínu, Spojené stá¬ty americké, Izrael a Palestinu, Blízký východ, indický subkontinent, Afri¬ku, Evropu a Spojené království, přičemž objasňuje historické okolnosti, které ke vzni¬ku těchto zdí vedly. Porozumět tomu, co nás rozdělovalo a roz¬děluje, je klíčem k pochopení toho, co se v dnešním světě děje a čeho se můžeme nadít v budoucnosti.

Into the Void: Star Wars Legends (Dawn of the Jedi) - Tim Lebbon

On the planet Tython, the ancient Je'daii order was founded. And at the feet of its wise Masters, Lanoree Brock learned the mysteries and methods of the Force--and found her calling as one of its most powerful disciples. But as strongly as the Force flowed within Lanoree and her parents, it remained absent in her brother, who grew to despise and shun the Je'daii, and whose training in its ancient ways ended in tragedy.Now, from her solitary life as a Ranger keeping order across the galaxy, Lanoree has been summoned by the Je'daii Council on a matter of utmost urgency. The leader of a fanatical cult, obsessed with traveling beyond the reaches of known space, is bent on opening a cosmic gateway using dreaded dark matter as the key--risking a cataclysmic reaction that will consume the entire star system. But more shocking to Lanoree than even the prospect of total galactic annihilation, is the decision of her Je'daii Masters to task her with the mission of preventing it. Until a staggering revelation makes clear why she was chosen: The brilliant, dangerous madman she must track down and stop at any cost is the brother whose death she has long grieved--and whose life she must now fear.

The Principle of Moments: The biggest SF fantasy debut of 2024 and the first ever winner of the Future Worlds Prize - Esmie Jikiemi-Pearson

Think Star Wars meets Doctor Who in an epic scifi fantasy adventure that centres Black protagonists dismantling space empires, travelling through time, and saving worlds - often simultaneously. 6066: In Emperor Thracin's brave new galaxy, humans are not citizens but indentured labourers, working to repay the debt they unwittingly incurred when they settled on Gahraan - a desert planet already owned by the emperor himself. Asha Akindele knows she's just another voiceless cog working the assembly lines that fuel his vast imperial war machine. Her only rebellion: studying stolen aeronautics manuals in the dead of night. But then a cloaked stranger arrives to deliver an impossible message, and her life changes in an instant.1812: Obi Amadi is done with time-travelling. Never mind the fact he doesn't know how to cure himself of the temporal sickness he caught whilst anchoring his soul to Regency London, the one that unmakes him further with every jump. Or if the prince he loves will ever love him back. Or why his father disappeared. He is done. Until he hears about the ghost of a girl in the British Museum. A girl from another time.When Obi's path tangles with Asha's and a prophecy awakens in the cold darkness of space, they must voyage through the stars, racing against time, tyranny, and the legacy of three heroes from an ancient religion who may be awakening, reincarnated in ways beyond comprehension.A love letter to Black readers of science-fantasy, The Principle of Moments is a symphonic, centuries-spanning adventure - unmissable for fans of the spacefaring found family of Becky Chambers, the alternate London of V. E. Schwab, and the virtuosic climate-craft of N. K. Jemisin.

The Power Law: Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future (0593491785)

Elon Musk was not an electric car person before he started Tesla. When it comes to improbable innovations, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives the VC business, all of Silicon Valley, the wider tech sector, and, by extension, the world. In The Power Law, Sebastian Mallaby has parlayed unprecedented access to the most celebrated...

The History of Space Exploration: Discoveries from the Ancient World to the Extraterrestrial Future - Launius

For centuries humanity has engaged in a virtual exploration of space through astronomical observation, aided by astounding scientific and technological advances. In more than sixty years since the launch of Sputnik 1 in 1957, more than 6,000 functioning satellites have been launched into Earth’s orbit and beyond – some to the farthest reaches of the Solar System – and more than 540 people have travelled into space. Unprecedented in its chronological and geographical scope, this book charts the history of space exploration from the first gunpowder rockets through the Moon landings, and into a future of space tourism. Numerous sidebars focus on the key individuals and inventions that brought us closer to the farthest reaches of the universe. Filled with astonishing images from the Smithsonian, NASA archives and other international collections, this is the first in-depth, fully illustrated survey of this universal human journey.Table of Contents1.

The Age of AI: And Our Human Future - Eric Schmidt, Daniel Huttenlocher

Three of our most accomplished and deep thinkers come together to explore Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the way it is transforming human society - and what it means for us all. An AI learned to win chess by making moves human grand masters had never conceived. Another AI discovered a new antibiotic by analysing molecular properties human scientists did not understand.Now, AI-powered jets are defeating experienced human pilots in simulated dogfights. AI is coming online in searching, streaming, medicine, education, and many other fields and, in so doing, transforming how humans are experiencing reality. In The Age of AI, three leading thinkers have come together to consider how AI will change our relationships with knowledge, politics, and the societies in which we live.The Age of AI is an essential roadmap to our present and our future, an era unlike any that has come before.
