By: DK | Series: DK Big Ideas

How do we map the ocean floor? Why do earthquakes strike some places more than others? In what ways does a city’s layout reflect its politics?

Part of DK’s indispensable Big Ideas series, The Geography Book answers these questions and many more.

The perfect introduction to the subject, it explores and explains the key geophysical and atmospheric processes that have shaped Earth’s geology, climate, and ecosystems, and the numerous ways in which they have shaped our lives, and we have shaped them in return – for better or worse. Combining easy-to-follow explanations, innovative graphics, and intriguing quotes, it covers everything from geological mapping and the water cycle to climate change and population demographics.

This fascinating book includes:

More than 90 of the most important ideas, theories, and milestones in the field of geography – covering physical geography, human geography, environmental geography, and practical geography
Simple explanations, bold infographics, and step-by-step diagrams that untangle knotty concepts, and witty illustrations
Key quotes from significant figures in the field – from Ptolemy to Alexander von Humboldt and Carl Ritter
