Overview
Discover the key theories and milestone developments in the field of geography—the study of Earth’s diverse landscapes and climates, and the ways in which we have interacted with them through history and around the world.
Applying the series’ accessible, graphic-led approach to the subject, The Geography Book explores and explains the key geophysical and atmospheric processes that have shaped the geology, climate, and ecosystems of the Earth, along with how they have influenced our cultures and civilizations, and how we have influenced and impacted them in return—for better or worse.
Exploring and explaining more than 90 of the most important theories, discoveries, and milestones in this fascinating and increasingly important multidisciplinary area of study, the book is the perfect introduction. Understand essential theories about tectonic plates, volcanic formation, and oceanic currents like never before; uncover the ways in which climate and topography have influenced human evolution and migration; and untangle the complex dynamics of trade routes and urbanization along the way.
Offering a fresh, accessible, and comprehensive angle on an essential and timely topic, The Geography Book reveals how physical landscapes, natural processes, and our own activities have shaped—and continue to shape—the world we live in.
