Ten maps that reveal the future of the world. An excellent topic told in layman terms, and easy reading.

Just picked this book up from supermarket shelf. Having read the first chapter - Australia - I am more than stunned. Advance Australia Fair!

I remember a short film in in the early 1950s promoting moon flights. "He who rules the moon, rules the world.. There are no international borders or territories in space".

China is proving that in today's news, let alone being outed for SARS/MERS/Covid or cyber viruses.

That sounds like an interesting read. I love maps, they hold so many stories.

Tim Marshall was on the tv today PoliticsLive with Kirsty Wark. A very interesting and knowledgeable man I thought.
