Recent years have been characterized by increasing geopolitical volatility, growing tensions between the USA and China, Russia’s war in Ukraine, and growing assertiveness of middle powers that have implied a transition from a unipolar to a multipolar world. Furthermore, governments face geo-strategic challenges posed by rising inflation, energy security, and climate change- which have no easy solutions. We see nations looking inwards to ameliorate their economic woes rather than relying on the forces of globalization to achieve the most efficient outcomes.
We continue to celebrate Black Legacy Month with Ginn staff recommendations.

An eminent map collector and friend-of-Fletcher has recently donated a collection of maps to Ginn. These turn-of-the century maps chart territory around the globe and are now available to students for research…and to cartophiles for general perusal! If you’re interested in exploring the collection, just make an appointment with a librarian and we will retrieve the maps that spark your curiosity.
Our student workers have been working hard to learn the ropes, and by now they can help you—and in some cases even read minds. If all you know about the Reserve book you need to borrow is that it is big and red, don't worry: we've got you covered.
