The New Map of the World: Energy Resources, Changing Climate and Clash of Nations

Daniel Yergin's new book is a candid account of how energy revolutions, climate wars, and geopolitics will shape our future. A brilliant storyteller, Yergin invites the reader on an exciting journey through the 'new map' of the world, which is... already forming as a result of radical changes in the political interests of certain states and energy.The author shows and explains in detail how a new future for our planet is being born and describes the inevitable problems we will face in the near future.At the center of his attention is the unexpectedly initiated shale revolution, which is changing America's place in the world, and the role of energy in the new 'Cold War' between the US on one side and Russia and China on the other.This transformation of global energy markets and the geopolitical balance of the world is leading us to an 'energy pivot': a transition from today's world—where fossil energy sources are predominant—to a world that increasingly uses renewable energy sources.
