description: Kenneth C. Davis, author of this popular series, tackles geography with wit, curiosity and knowledge. In doing so, he proves once and for all that there is a lot more to the subject than labeling countries on a map. Davis explains earthquakes, rain forests, Atlantis and whether there are canaries on the Canary Islands. From often amusing perceptions people have had through the ages about the world and the universe to the changing map of today, Davis shows how geography is really a great crossroads of many fields; biology, meteorology, astronomy, history, economics, and even politics.
