Description: Why Geography Matters, More Than Ever by Harm J. De Blij Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description "This work was first published by Oxford University Press in 2005 as Why Geography Matters: Three Challenges Facing America." Publisher Description In recent years our world has seen transformations of all kinds: intense climate change accompanied by significant weather extremes; deadly tsunamis caused by submarine earthquakes; unprecedented terrorist attacks; costly wars in Iraq and Afghanistan; a terrible and overlooked conflict in Equatorial Africa costing millions of lives; an economic crisis threatening the stability of the international system. Is there some way we can get our minds around these disparateglobal upheavals, to grasp these events and their interconnections, and place our turbulent world in a more understandable light? Acclaimed author Harm de Blij answers this question with one word:geography. In this revised edition of the immensely popular and influential Why Geography Matters, de Blij tackles topics from the burgeoning presence of China to the troubling disarray of the European Union, from the dangerous nuclear ambitions of North Korea to the revolutionary Arab Spring. By improving our understanding of the worlds geography, de Blij shows, we can better respond to the events around us, and better prepare ourselves to face the globalchallenges ahead. Peppering his writing with anecdotes from his own professional travels, de Blij expands upon his original argument, offering an updated work that is as engaging as it is eye-opening. Casual studentsof geography and professional policy-makers alike will benefit from this stimulating and crucial perspective on geography and the way it shapes our worlds events. America, de Blij warns, has become the worlds most geographically illiterate society of consequence. Indeed, despite increasing global interconnectivity and rapid change, Americans seem to be less informed and less knowledgeable about the rest of the world than ever. In this compelling volume, de Blij showswhy this dispiriting picture must change, and change now. Author Biography Harm de Blij is John A. Hannah Professor at Michigan State University.
