review 1: Fascinating and fun. Easy to read but rewarding reading. If you have ever enjoyed looking at maps then you should read this book. The author takes several seemingly trivial questions about Geography and answers them in an intriguing way that makes it not feel like a geography text. Perfect if you want to read some non-fiction but don't want to trudge through an extensive or boring tome. Perfect for reading a little at a time.
review 2: This book is an excellent prep if you have an intense desire to go on Jeopardy as a contestant. I have always had an interest in geography and there were many times in college that my reasonable grade point average came from superior grades in Band, ROTC, Badminton and geography. With that said I didn't think that one book coveri... moreng the subject would satisfy that appetite, however, I think I can remove the geography shelf from near term use on this website. The geography questions asked were intelligent, accurate and did add a new dimension to my knowledge and I was pleased that I was able to answer a reasonable number of the inquiries. About halfway through, however, my interest began to wane when I had to discern the two sources that the Lanprey Eel had taken to sneak their little slimy bodies into the Great Lakes and then only to find that Lake Michigan and Lake Huron should be considered one lake. Well written, glad I read it, but now on to something light and fluffy. less
