"In his typical style--wielding a wickedly clever pen--Marshall provides a thoroughly enjoyable, dizzyingly thought-provoking, and technologically plausible ride through the terrain of solar space. Along the way, he shows how irretrievably entwined with space humanity has become, pathways to a space future we could take and, fortunately for us, a few that we should. I'm envious. This is a book I wish I could have written. Fortunately, I got to read it." -- Everett Dolman, professor of comparative military studies and strategy at the US Air Force's Air Command and Staff College (ACSC), and author of Astropolitik: Classical Geopolitics in the Space Age "In The Future of Geography , Tim Marshall again demonstrates his unique ability to write wonderfully engaging must-read books which reveal startling facts. The Future of Geography takes us on a gripping and amazing journey, to guide us expertly and often amusingly into the exploration of space and its profound implications for those of us left behind on planet earth." -- Ian Goldin, professor of globalisation and development at the University of Oxford, and author of Terra Incognita: 100 Maps to Survive the Next 100 Years "A chilling, insightful exploration of the political and military implications of our presence in space.

" -- Brian Clegg, author of Final Frontier "This stirring book shows why astropolitics matters for everyone on Earth--not just the scientists and the dreamers." -- Dr Bleddyn E. Bowen, author of Original Sin and War in Space "Astropolitics is a word I never thought would enter my lexicon--but after reading this fascinating book, I'm hooked!" -- Dr. Becky Smethurst, astrophysicist at the University of Oxford and author of A Brief History of Black Holes.
