World Affairs & HistoryBook note
The New Map
Description. A short description of a book from my bookshelf, not a review.
Yergin examines how energy and climate are reshaping geopolitics. He covers the American shale revolution, Russia's energy relationship with Europe, China's growing demand and its claims in the South China Sea, the Middle East, and the transition to renewable energy and electric vehicles.
Yergin is a leading authority on energy, and the book is clear and well informed. Written before the war in Ukraine, its chapters on Russia and Europe now read as an important prelude.
