An interesting and often thought-provoking take on the links between land and power, with a truly global scope - the author examines cases from every corner of the world, from Patagonia to the Canadian Arctic and from Australia to the RPA.

I learned a lot from this book, although it would benefit from more thorough editing - there is plenty of repetition and the style is rather dry. Still, it is worth reading to gain a fresh perspective not only on the roots of many of the world's problems, but also on possible solutions.

Thanks to the publisher, Basic Books, and NetGalley for an advanced copy of this book.
