Nel 1904, Halford John Mackinder, allora direttore della London School of Economics, pubblica un saggio intitolato Il perno geografico della storia, nel quale enuncia per la prima volta la sua teoria dell’Heartland - Cuore della Terra –, una regione strategica estesa entro precisi confini geografici, dal cui controllo dipende il dominio del Continente Antico, che Mackinder definisce World-Island – Isola del Mondo. È su questi concetti chiave che egli fonda il suo pensiero, dando così avvio...

"[?] nicht nur hat Europa kein Geld für Krieg. Europa kann nicht Krieg und es hat in diesem Krieg nichts zu gewinnen! Es ist dafür strukturell, finanziell und militärisch nicht ausgelegt. Europa kann sich keinen Krieg leisten, wenn es als demokratische Einheit überleben soll. Anders formuliert: Europa hieß einmal #NieWiederKrieg! Europa kann nur Frieden.

India is an empire within an empire. There are four hundred million people in the British Empire, and of these three hundred million are in India.

As regards both area and population it is the equal of half Europe, that half which includes all the countries except Russia. It is a land of many languages, some of them spoken by as many people as speak German or French. It is a lan...

Plenty of Canucks fans have taken in a game at Rogers Arena and will tell you they know just how to tell the Sedin twins apart. But only real fans can immediately recall Pavel Bure's penalty shot in the 1994 Stanley Cup final, or have hit the road to support their team in enemy territory. 100 Things Canucks Fans Should Know & Do Before They Die is the ultimate resource for true Vancouver Canucks fans. Whether you're a diehard from the days of Stan Smyl or a more recent supporter, ...

THE component parts of the British Empire are so remote and so different from one another, that it is evident that the Empire can only be held together by sympathy and understanding, based on widely diffused knowledge of its geography, history, resources, climates, and races. It is obvious that if this knowledge is to be effective it must be imparted to the coming generation. In other words it must be taught in the Schools of the Empire. In the Autumn of 1902, a Committee was appointed by ...

This follow-up book provi...
