The latest in the series that includes best-selling That's Not in
My American History Book and That's Not in My Science Book, this
book brings geography to life exploring the "who" behind the
discovery of various lands and the "what" behind how our world
changes. From the earliest compass to today's handheld GPS systems,
author Kate Kelly shows how people throughout time have navigated
the world. She also rectifies the past by explaining why some
people have gotten short shrift in geography books. (If Leif
Eriksson's mom were alive, she would pre-order a copy of this book
) Kelly also explores "human geography," including such diverse
subjects as how geography affects the spread of human disease and
how the global marketplace is causing our world to shrink. While
discovery of new lands may have been the most vital part of the
world five hundred years ago, today preservation is key to
maintaining the land we have. The last section of the book examines
what we do to our world and what will happen if we fail at
conservation. And don't forget about water our most important
natural resource and seventy percent of our world's surface A
chapter in this section is devoted to this vital substance.
