He presents a vision in which Africa powers Europe with solar energy, where autocratic oil states are no more, and new shipping routes across the melting Arctic bring Asia, Europe and North America closer than ever before. In Russia, huge areas of highly fertile land will be exposed by the melting ice for whoever can seize it, while China's stranglehold on rare minerals looks set to make it the world's leading superpower.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThrough four sections - Earth, Air, Fire and Water - \u003ci\u003eElemental\u003c\/i\u003e blends reportage with analysis and interviews with key experts, policymakers and politicians, to reveal the turbulent future we face - and the choices we need to make to avert disaster.","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46697794928798,"sku":"ADS-9781035412952","price":34.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781035412952.jpg?v=1775719543","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781035412952","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
