An "entertaining [and] eminently readable" exploration of our home planet from the New York Times–bestselling author of Don't Know Much About History(Publishers Weekly).
Geography is much more than naming countries on a map or memorizing state capitals. It's the hub from which other disciplines radiate: meteorology, ecology, geology, oceanography, demographics, cartography, agricultural studies, economics, and political science. Yet many of us don't know much about it. This fun and fascinating guide can change that!
In addition to presenting plenty of geographical trivia to impress your friends, Kenneth C. Davis explores 21st-century topics of global concern, including the role of the Internet and technology in transforming the lives of people around the world, how so-called developing nations develop, sustainability, and debates over climate change and evolutionary science. This completely revised and updated version of Don't Know Much About Geography is an illuminating grand tour of planet Earth.
"Reading [Kenneth C. Davis] is like returning to the classroom of the best teacher you ever had." —People
A School Library Journal "Must-Read"
