How does the geography of a country affect its politics? Maps have a mysterious hold over us yet, when it comes to geopolitics, much of what we are told is generated by analysts and other experts who have neglected to refer to a map of the place in question. In his book, The Power of Geography: Ten Maps that Reveal The Future of Our World, Tim Marshall examines 9 countries plus space to explore how their geography will shape their future. Presenters will choose one of the ten maps to lead the discussion of the importance of the region, personal experiences and different interpretations. Class participants are expected to have the book (approx. $14). Book: 978-1783966028. 2021.
