- Fareed Zakaria: “This week's book of the week is Robert Kaplan's "The Revenge of Geography." In a world, in which you think economics, technology, and globalization have erased boundaries and created a new world, Robert Kaplan reminds us that the map still matters. Where you are, who your neighbors are still has a profound effect on your destiny.”
