Fascinating Geography

Sergey Arzhanov describes how geographical patterns manifest around us and what laws govern the surrounding world. The book touches on the most interesting questions that can captivate children: including the number of people on Earth and intriguing misconceptions that nearly everyone believes. You will learn which direction rivers flow, why the valley of the famous Nile River is very fertile, how lakes appear and disappear, how the wind affects the climate, which of the two poles of our planet is colder, and what 'universal' animals and plants can be found in different parts of the planet... And although the book was written almost a hundred years ago, it is full of the most fascinating essays that will appeal to anyone interested in the natural sciences.
