The whole world in the palm of your hand
Ever wonder how you can have a rainforest on one side of a mountain and a desert on the other? Or zoom around the globe with Google Maps and wonder how everything got to where it is now? The answer is…geography.
In Geography For Dummies, you’ll discover that geography is more than just cool trivia—it explains tons about the world around us. From understanding the basics—like how to read maps and geographic coordinates—to learning about how the continents got to their current positions, you’ll learn fascinating things about the planet’s people, cities, resources, and more.
In this book, you’ll discover:
- How geographers make and use maps to understand and tell useful stories about the earth
- How weather and climate shape the planet, impact the water supply, and change landscapes
- How humans use (and overuse) the planet we live on to our advantage
Geography For Dummies is an incredible exploration of our planet and the people who live on it. This book takes a huge subject and makes it accessible for the rest of us!
