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

Daniel Yergin's new book is a candid account of how energy revolutions, climate wars and geopolitics will affect our future. A brilliant storyteller, Yergin takes the reader on an exciting journey through the "new map" of the world, which is already taking shape as a result of dramatic changes in the areas of political interests of some states and energy. The author shows and explains in detail how the new future of our planet is born, and describes the inevitable problems that we will have to face in the near future. His focus is on the sudden start of the shale revolution, which is changing America's place in the world, and the role of energy in the new Cold War between the United States on the one hand and Russia and China on the other. This transformation of global energy markets and the global geopolitical balance is leading us to an "energy turnaround": a transition from today's world dominated by fossil fuels to a world increasingly driven by renewable energy.
