Geography of the world has always been of paramount importance. World leaders can be seen in the annals of history vying with each other to expand their frontiers and shaping the contours of the world, according to their will, and giving birth to regional, national and international wars and conflicts. These conflicts are not new in present times. This is a natural phenomenon taking place ab initio and will keep on ad infinitum. The wars not only play havoc with the no rd and fauna of a place but also cause disturbances in the natural and smooth environmental system. Global warming, landslides, receding avalanches *and sinking water table arc some of the consequences of imposed wars on humanity by humans, themselves. Apart from Political Geography, Physical Geography of the world is also undergoing great changes. Some changes are pleasant, while others arc a cause of concern for geographers. This enlightening multi-volume work has a lot to discuss in great detail in these regards. It chronicles the historic clashes and disputes among various parties, reasons behind and the catastrophic consequences. Besides, it should make an interesting reading, comprehensive, exhaustive in nature, and informative in its approach. No doubt, it should prove to be a great asset for any scholar or book lover.
