Loading... Don't Know Much About Geography: Everything You Need to Know About the…de Kenneth C. DavisSerii: Don't Know Much About
I'll be honest with you...I haven't finished this one yet. I just kept falling asleep whenever I tucked myself into bed to read! But that's my only complaint about the book: it's not good bedtime reading unless you suffer from insomnia. The content is great and simply, yet engagingly, explained. What's fun about geography is that it's so tied up with history that you can't help but learning more than one subject at once. Davis also throws in the occasional amusing personal anecdote, so that it doesn't feel like your old high-school textbook that, if it tried to engage you, it did so with only-a-geologist-could-have-written-it puns on the Earth's "crust", etc. I just hope I find time to finish this at some point during the day!
