About this title

From the Author

Geography? Fun? Can't be. It is!
From the notion that Columbus thought the world is shaped like a woman's breast to a guide to all those countries whose names keep changing, this book is my attempt to make geography more than learning state capitals. Because geography is really about human curiosity and I try to make it fun, human and memorable.

From the Back Cover

Who killed the Dead Sea? What can you build with BRICS? Does the World Bank have ATMs? Is all the talk of global warming just a lot of hot air?

In Don't Know Much About(R) Geography, Kenneth C. Davis, New York Times bestselling author and creator of the Don't Know Much About(R) series of books, takes the reader on a fascinating, breathtaking, and hilarious grand tour of the planet Earth--opening our eyes and imaginations to a wide, wild, and wonderful world we never knew. In this newly revised, updated, and expanded edition of the classic anti-textbook, he reflects on many of the profound and important changes that have occurred on our planet in the last twenty years.
