摘要：	Sometimes, to know your place, you need to put things into perspective. That is what author Tim Marshall set out to do with his book The Power of Geography: Ten maps that reveal the future of our world. After his first book in this series, Prisoners of Geography, Marshall explains the history of 10 places - nine countries and space - and puts historic struggles into today's context to explain the economic potential of those places. Readers not only learn about why geography matters "The starting point of any country's story is its location in relation to neighbors, sea routes, and natural resources" but also, as determined in the sub-headline of the book, how different economies will be able to make use of those in future. While Marshall includes sea routes as vital denominator to determine the fate of a country and discusses who owns space, it would have been interesting to hear his thoughts about the world's oceans. This way, once again, one might assume, what happens in the world's oceans somewhat gets forgotten in this equation.
