Engaging Geopolitics

Rating:
Summary: Excellent, well written, and concise
Review: This book fills a much needed gap between politics and geography, and does it with a straight forward approach. The authors don't clutter the book with a lot of fluff or long winded opinions. They keep it short, on target, and to the point. All the main issues are covered with enough detail to allow the reader to understand without a lot of extra. Don't be fooled by the short length (about 150 pages). This text is a powerhouse of information about such issues as Nationalism, the Cold War, Development, and Security or Conflict. It is also easy to read and comprehend. This text should be required reading for any Political Geography course. I would highly recommend this text to any curious reader of geography, politics or world affairs. It is a great little book that addresses big issues with professional quality.
