Book Description

Hay un límite a lo que los hombres pueden decidir. A menudo, se trata de un límite real, físico. Montañas, ríos, mares y hormigón se interponen entre lo que los dirigentes han querido para sus países a lo largo de la historia y lo que han podido conseguir. Para entender y explicar lo que ocurre en el mundo solemos referirnos a personas, ideas y movimientos políticos; pero sin los condicionantes que impone la geografía el resultado de semejante aproximación sencillamente está incompleto. Muchos de los accidentes geográficos del planeta seguirán existiendo en el futuro. De aquí a un siglo, Rusia continuará mirando con angustia hacia el oeste, y seguirá encontrando allí una planicie difícil de defender. La cordillera del Himalaya continuará separando a India y Pakistán e impidiendo en gran parte un enfrentamiento directo. Florida continuará siendo el guardián que vigile la entrada y salida al golfo de México, pertenezca al país que pertenezca. Con ese punto de partida, y a través de diez mapas —de Rusia, China, Estados Unidos, Europa, África, Oriente Medio, India/Pakistán, Corea/Japón, Latinoamérica y el Ártico—, Tim Marshall mira al pasado, al presente y al futuro de la humanidad en este libro, una obra de investigación excepcional y accesible, de enorme éxito en Reino Unido y Alemania, que ha abierto los ojos de muchos acerca de uno de los mayores (y más ignorados) factores que determinan la historia mundial
