The world we live in is complex and constantly changing. It's
battered by weather, shaken by earthquakes, and mined, farmed and
polluted by humans. This book helps readers understand these
processes, make sense of our relationship with the planet, and find
ways to change it for the better. Geography is a HUGE subject area
that deals with so much more than map-making, rocks, and town
planning. This book unpicks how an awareness of geography helps
people think about how important the world around us is, from the
landscape we live on to the relationships between entire countries.
