The world is full of wonderful things-vast deserts, rich and varied forests, magnificent river systems, island paradises-a cornucopia of soul-stirring, life-sustaining environmental wealth. Unfortunately, many people don't know how to find them!
This is a unique refresher course in geography that brings the subject alive with:
.A fascinating collection of facts
.Maps-60 of them
.14 separate brain-teasing quizzes-a total of 500 questions-to test your knowledge of the planet.
.Tables, sidebars, and special short features on a wide variety of subjects.
.A brief dictionary of geographical terms.
So don't hesitate, plunge right in, but be careful. The facts in this book are a little like potato chips: It's hard to stop with just one.
