Özet

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?

Title is misleading. Kept thinking that the book would get to the point but it never did. Change the title as otherwise a good historical summary.

Quick overview of British history. Nothing really to do with Brexit or Destiny

Superb grand sweep of history narrative in the finest tradition with many interesting vignettes

Superb

After listening to his discussion of the relative merits of British and American Christmas movies, I've concluded the author and his publisher should be prosecuted under the terms of the Trade Descriptions Act for pretending this book is primarily about geography. Still, the thematic focus on identity, sovereignty, security, prosperity and mobility works well, though I wonder whether the many Brexit-related refrains will soon make it seem a bit dated (full marks for the "Boer exit" pun though). Overall this is an entertaining if rambling general history with many amusing asides but doesn't contain anything as truly original as his seminal Why the West Rules—For Now.

Geography Is Misleading

Concise, amusing and massively informative potted history of this once great country. Makes you realise the loops never end.

A book that most people would benefit listening too

Really enjoyed the book - gave me a deeper understanding of this country - easy to listen to and I really liked the narrator. Not sure if it actually matched the title

Excellent sweeping history
