Description
In this revised and updated edition Ken Davis tackles geography with wit, curiosity, and knowledge. In doing so, he proves once and for all that there is a lot more to the subject than labeling countries on a map. Davis explains earthquakes, rain forests, Atlantis, and whether there are canaries on the Canary Islands. From often amusing perceptions people have had through the ages about the world and the universe to the changing map of today.
