From bestselling author Kenneth C. Davis comes a treasure
trove of answers to questions about our world. Was there an Atlantis? What’s the smallest country in the world? What’s the difference between a jungle and a rain forest?
Kenneth C. Davis, author of Don’t Know Much About® History, Don’t Know Much About® the Civil War and Don’t Know Much About® the Bible, turns his inimitable wit and
wide-ranging knowledge to the subject of geography, and proves once and for all
that there is a lot more to it than labeling countries on a map.
From often amusing perceptions people have had through
the ages about the world and the universe to the changing map of today, Davis
shows how geography is really a great crossroad of many fields: biology,
meteorology, astronomy, history, economics, and even politics. In this lively,
entertaining, and endlessly fascinating presentation, you’ll hear about the
personalities that helped shape the world and learn the answers to questions
that have vexed most of us since grade school. Along the way, Davis offers an
affectionate ode to the earth: a celebration of the earth, a searching investigation
of the destruction of our habitat, and a practical guide to saving our home
planet.
For anyone who has felt geographically ignorant ever
since gas stations stopped handing out free maps, Don't Know Much About® Geography is enormously informative
entertainment.
