Description
By: DK
An exciting, educational, and totally unique atlas that puts the most weird and wonderful facts about our world on the map.
What’s Weird on Earth is packed with maps—but not as you know them. These ones show information about the odd, the unusual, the extreme, the mysterious, and sometimes the downright crazy. Each strange story is illustrated and explained, except when it’s simply unexplainable!
Featuring more than 60 maps, this book is an encyclopedia of the extraordinary. Find out about bizarre natural phenomena, including odd animal behavior, peculiar plants, wild weather, and weird water features. Explore the supernatural, from UFO sightings and haunted houses to the spooky spotting of Yetis and werewolves. Travel to some crazy places and learn some fascinating geography facts. Did you know that 18 countries of the world have no river?
Observe unusual human behavior—from wacky sporting events, such as wife-carrying and pillow-fighting, to far-out festivals celebrating radishes, frogs, and mud! Uncover some history mysteries, too, based on mysterious archeological finds. There are also pages where it’s the map itself that looks weird, distorted to present countries resized according to where all the children live, for example, or to show a country’s popularity as a vacation destination.
When you’ve seen the world through the pages of What’s Weird on Earth, planet Earth will never seem quite the same again.
