Earth Wars: The Battle for Global Resources Hardcover - 2012 - 1st Edition
by Geoff Hiscock
From the jacket flap
Food, water, energy, and metals are the drivers of industrial, economic, and social growth. As the world's population rises and the clamour for higher living standards gets louder, so too the struggle for resource access intensifies. But whether it is water from the Nile, rice from the Mekong Delta, oil from the Middle East, coal from Africa, gas from Russia, rare earths from China, iron ore from the Australian Outback, uranium from Kazakhstan, or shale from North America, these resources, even those we consider "sustainable," are limited and valuable. For centuries, the West has controlled much of the resources flow, but now China, India, Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, Turkey, Iran, and a host of other nations want their share.
In Earth Wars: The Battle for Global Resources, journalist and Asian business expert Geoff Hiscock takes an in-depth look at our energy future. He analyzes the new technologies, the key players, escalating tensions, and possible outcomes of the ultimate theme of the twenty-first century: resource ownership.
China and India, with their combined population of 2.5 billion people, will be the engines of global growth in the next fifty years, and their drive to expand is already bringing them to the forefront of the supply-demand equation. In Earth Wars, Hiscock surveys the world at large, looking at the interconnections, exploring who has what, how they're using what they have, and what they're doing to protect, expand, or share their bounty.
