'Ian Morris has established himself as a leader in making big
history interesting and understandable' Jared Diamond, author of
Guns, Germs and Steel 'Morris succeeds triumphantly at cramming
10,000 years of history into a single book' Robert Colvile, Times
Geography is Destiny tells the history of Britain and its changing
relationships with Europe and the wider world, from its physical
separation at the end of the Ice Age to the first flickers of a
United Kingdom, struggles for the Atlantic, and rise of the Pacific
Rim. Applying the latest archaeological evidence, Ian Morris
explores how geography, migration, government and new technologies
interacted to produce regional inequalities that still affect us
today. He charts Britain's geopolitical fortunes over thousands of
years, revealing its transformation from a European satellite into
a state at the centre of global power, commerce, and culture. But
as power and wealth shift from West to East, does Britain's future
lie with Europe or the wider world?
