The author uses an easy-to-understand style and engaging personal anecdotes to help readers grasp a wide range of topics--from erupting volcanoes to the population explosion and expanding cities. Far more than a collection of random geographical trivia, this book pulls all the facts together to explore what they really mean and to illuminate the dynamic potential, trends and challenges of our changing physical world. Combines anecdotes, visuals and diagrams to illustrate often complex geographical concepts. Also includes 30 maps pinpointing key locations.
