Geography is Destiny | Ian Morris

How can geography explain Brexit and Britain’s changing relationship with the rest of the world? In this episode, we speak with Dr. Ian Morris, a historian and archeologist at Stanford University. His latest book, “Geography is Destiny,” chronicles the ten-thousand-year history of Britain’s relationship with Europe and how it has adapted in a globalizing world. We talk about maps, how the British Isles went from a relatively<br />unimportant country on the edge of other empires to a globe-spanning power from its periphery, and what geography has to tell us about the future of Britain’s place in the world.<br /><br />Learn more about “Geography is Destiny:”<br />https://us.macmillan.com/books/9780374157272/geographyisdestiny<br />This podcast is produced in partnership with the Pearson Institute for the Study and Resolution of Global Conflicts.
