Europe is ready to explode. Where will the explosion take place & what will the damage be? This major new book from the bestselling author & geopolitical forecaster George Friedman presents a bold & provocative thesis about the likeliest locations for the coming eruptions. George Friedman forecasted coming global trends in The Next 100 Years & The Next Decade. Now, in Flashpoints, he zooms in on Europe & examines the dry tinder of the region: culture. Walking the faultlines that have existed here for centuries, Friedman inspects all the dormant social & political fissures still smouldering just beneath the continent's surface, & identifies those likely to erupt first. The book begins with a fascinating history of the events leading up to the horrific wars that nearly tore apart Western civilisation, & shows how modern efforts to overcome Europe's geopolitical tensions
- including the formation of the European Union
- have largely failed. Homing in on half a dozen pivotal locations, George Friedman gauges what the future holds, both in terms of conflict & also opportunity. Flashpoints details how events in Europe will affect the rest of the world
- from USA to Russia, from China to Latin America
- & reveals a new yet familiar political landscape in what is at once a gripping history lesson & a terrifying forecast of the potential devastation ahead.

Contrary to popular belief, fostered in countless school classrooms the world over, Christopher Columbus did not discover that the world was round. The idea of the world as a sphere had been widely accepted in scientific, philosophical & even religious circles from as early as the fourth century bc. Bizarrely, it was not until the supposedly more rational nineteenth century that the notion that the world might actually be flat really took hold. Even more bizarrely, it persists to this day. Based on a range of original sources, Garwood's history of flat-earth beliefs
- from the Babylonians to the present day
- raises issues central to the history & philosophy of science, its relationship with religion & the making of human knowledge about the natural world. Flat Earth is the first definitive study of one of history's most notorious & persistent ideas, & evokes all the intellectual, philosophical & spiritual turmoil of the modern age.
