Geography. Physics, Biology, Economics

This book is not a textbook: you will not find chapters titled "Physical Geography" or "Economic Geography." But you will find geography itself – in the form of a mass of fascinating facts, explanations, answers to questions, and... new questions! Where can you find Mediterranean forests if there are almost none left on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea? Why is the Northern Sea Route much shorter than it appears on the map? Where do watermelons and halva come from? Why do they build high towers in Svaneti?
Readers and the author will have to find answers together. And during our search, we will involve physical geography, economic geography, biogeography, the geography of cultures, countries, peoples, languages, and even architectural styles.
We will learn about which volcanoes are active in Germany, how to make a map from sticks, why it is important to protect mangrove forests, what terra preta, abyssal, and triangulation are. And at the end of the book, we will discover the latest findings by geographers and geologists, proving that geography is a living science, and there are still plenty of white spots waiting for their researchers!
