Kenneth C. Davis, author of Don't Know Much About® History, Don't Know Much About the Civil War and Don't Know Much About the Bible, turns his inimitable wit and wide-ranging knowledge to the subject of geography, and proves once and for all that there is a lot more to it than labeling countries on a map. From often amusing perceptions people have had through the ages about the world and the universe to the changing map of today, Davis shows how geography is really a great crossroad of many fields: biology, meteorology, astronomy, history, economics, and even politics.

Story
We live in a world of seeds. From our morning toast to the cotton in our clothes, they are quite literally the stuff and staff of life, supporting diets, economies, and civilizations around the globe. Just as the search for nutmeg and the humble peppercorn drove the Age of Discovery, so did coffee beans help fuel the Enlightenment and cottonseed help spark the Industrial Revolution. And from the fall of Rome to the Arab Spring, the fate of nations continues to hinge on the seeds of a Middle Eastern grass known as wheat.

Birds, Jim Robbins posits, are our most vital connection to nature. They compel us to look to the skies, both literally and metaphorically, draw us out into nature to seek their beauty, and let us experience vicariously what it is like to be weightless. Birds have helped us in so many of our human endeavors: learning to fly, providing clothing and food, and helping us better understand the human brain and body.

Story
For millennia, lions, tigers, and their man-eating kin have kept our dark, scary forests dark and scary, and their predatory majesty has been the stuff of folklore. But by the year 2150 big predators may only exist on the other side of glass barriers and chain-link fences. Their gradual disappearance is changing the very nature of our existence. We no longer occupy an intermediate position on the food chain; instead we survey it invulnerably from above - so far above that we are in danger of forgetting that we even belong to an ecosystem.

Really enjoyed it!
The anecdotes and trivia were not only entertaining, but they also inspired some intense debates at the dinner table. Some of the more unusual facts made us giggle, while others had us nod knowingly. It's as if the audiobook unexpectedly became a member of our family, joining in on our everyday routines and adding a dash of excitement to our life.

Surprising Audio Gaffes in Final Cut
I've listened to a lot of Audible audiobooks, and while there have been at times variable quality within an audiobook, this audiobook didn't actually appear to be finished. Yes, it includes the 1001 facts promised in the title, but somewhere between the 300th and 400th facts, the audio portion actually became a hot mess. I believe it's the narrator's responsibility to ensure that he or she hands in a completed project, but this one certainly was not. I also understand that Audible at least listens to part of the book to assure quality. Clearly, they don't listen to the entire thing. Somewhere in the 300 to 400 fact section, clearly the narrator, or whoever was responsible for editing the final audiobook, stopped doing so. Too many times to count, instead of a fact just being read straight through, there were pauses, stops, starts, and repeats where the narrator made a mistake (or didn’t like something) and backed up a little (or a lot) to correct it. But the errors did not get spliced out; these facts with errors did not read straight through; instead, you hear every mistake and pause. Some facts even had two or three mistakes within them, necessitating several restarts. In other places, we actually hear the narrator loudly turning pages. Quite a few times, the narrator said “track” number instead of “fact” number. I've never listened to a partially unedited Audible audiobook and hope it can be corrected for future listeners.
This audiobook did have potential. Trivia books are fun for children and adults alike, and the audiobook format makes it perfect for family road trips. Some facts are just given in the simple “trivia’ sentence, but others are told with an injection of humor or with more detail to make it more interesting. I liked both of these additions. Sometimes, a supposed fact or bit of trivia didn't really merit that title, though, as I would consider them to be common knowledge or of historical merit rather than trivia, which suggests that it should be an interesting minor detail not well known.
For the audiobook errors alone, I do not feel like I can recommend this book.
