` Whosoever commands the sea, commands the trade; whosoever commands the trade of the world commands the riches of the world, & consequently the world itself.` Sir Walter Raleigh The sea is the engine of globalisation. Since the voyages of the European explorers in the 15th century, it has played a crucial role in the movement of people, goods & ideas; today, over 90 per cent of the world`s trade goes by sea. In this important & timely book, maritime & geo-political strategist Chris Parry reveals how the sea`s role as the world`s `super highway` will make it a key arena for both cooperation & competition, as states & multi-national companies seek to assert claims over the seas. Offering essential insights into naval capacity, international security & new technologies, Super Highway explores the development of oceanic resources, climate change & rising sea levels, new trade routes across the Arctic, threats from criminal elements, new sources of oil & gas, & the increasing challenge to the USA`s hegemony from China & others. The prize for maritime dominance in the 21st century, as at any other time since the 15th century, is control of the strategic & economic levers of world power & influence. Super Highway shows that what happens next on the seas will profoundly affect the lives of us all, & those of generations to come. ...

The shifting continents of the Earth are heading for inevitable collision. Two hundred & fifty million years from now, all the landmasses on this planet will come together in a single, gigantic supercontinent which no human is ever likely to see. That future supercontinent will not be the first to form on Earth, nor will it be the last. Each cycle lasts half a billion years, making it the grandest of all the patterns in nature. It is scarcely a century since science first understood how Pangaea, the supercontinent which gave birth to dinosaurs, split apart, but scientists can now look back three-quarters of a billion years into the Earth`s almost indecipherable past to reconstruct Pangaea`s predecessor, & computer-model the shape of the Earth`s far-distant future. Ted Nield`s book tells the astounding story of how that science emerged (often in the face of fierce opposition), & how scientists today are using the most modern techniques to draw information out of the oldest rocks on Earth. It also reveals the remarkable human story of the Altantis-seeking visionaries & madmen, who have been imagining lost or undiscovered continents for centuries. Ultimately all supercontinents exist only in the human imagination, but understanding the ” Supercontinent Cycle” represents nothing less than finally knowing how our planet works. ...
