Recenzii
Toal's new book is a most welcome entry to the interdisciplinary and unconventional approaches to international security.
This is a genuinely important book. Written in an accessible way for a broad audience while drawing on significant engagement with key literature, Toal manages to powerfully elucidate the realities of (international) politics as usual for the conditions of human existence.
Helping to add context to situations like Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Oceans Rise Empires Fall should be considered essential reading in political geography but is accessible enough to appeal to a general audience. What is perhaps most impressive about this book is the way that Toal is able to fit explanations of complex geopolitical theories and a discussion of how a critical geopolitical lens can be used to make sense of them within the context of environmental politics, all in just over 200 pages.
This is an excellent study of our helplessness in dealing with the planetary crisis, providing an answer to the question of why we are not coping and showing how the mental clichés in which we function contribute to this.
