Krátky popis
The world is not as mobile or as interconnected as we like to
think. As Harm de Blij argues in The Power of Place, in crucial
ways-from the uneven distribution of natural resources to the
unequal availability of opportunity-geography continues to hold
billions of people in its grip. We are all born into natural and
cultural environments that shape what we become, individually and
collectively.From our ",mother tongue", to our father's faith, from
medicalrisks to natural hazards, where we start our journey has
much to do with our destiny. Hundreds of millions of farmers in the
river basins of Asia and Africa, and tens of millions of shepherds
in isolated mountain valleys from the Andes to Kashmir, all live
their lives much as their distant ancestors did, remotefrom the
forces of globalization. Incorporating a series of persuasive maps,
De Blij describes the tremendously varied environments across the
planet and shows how migrations between them are comparatively
rare.De Blij also looks at the ways we are redefining place so as
to make its power even more potent than it has been, with troubling
implications.
