Prisoners of Geography: Ten Maps That Explain Everything About the World --- by --- Tim Marshall. This well written but very readable book looks at ten areas on the globe and examines why and how they were virtually geographically pre-destined to become global flash-points. Russia, China, the Middle East. They’re among the players. And so, amazingly enough for most Canadians, is the Arctic. This book is an excellent backgrounder for understanding the issues that play out on news-casts everywhere.
