What kind of world are we leaving for our  children and grandchildren? Just who will flourish-and who will fail-in  our evolving world?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e                    Combining the lessons of geography and history with state-of-the-art  model projections and analytical data, Guggenheim fellow Laurence C.  Smith predicts how the eight nations of the Arctic Rim (including the  United States) will become increasingly powerful while the nations  around the equator struggle for survival. Like Bjorn Lomborg's The  Skeptical Environmentalist, The World in 2050 is as credible as it  is controversial, projecting the looming benefits as well as the  problems of climate change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Laurence C.
