Don't Know Much About Geography: Revised and Updated Edition

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.

Ken Ilgunas, lifelong traveler, hitchhiker, and roamer, takes listeners back to the 19th century, when Americans were allowed to journey undisturbed across the country. Inspired by the United States' history of roaming, and taking guidance from present-day Europe, Ilgunas calls into question our entrenched understanding of private property and provocatively proposes something unheard of: opening up American private property for public recreation. He imagines a future in which folks everywhere will have the right to walk safely, explore freely, and roam boldly.

Mind Blown!
My boyfriend and I really loved this audiobook that we got to take on a long road trip with us. We're both lifelong learners and gatherer's of information and this one was super fun with very interesting facts and tidbits of stuff we never knew that we wanted to know! However- I am a skeptic of where I am get my information from, so I had to fact check some of the things that I couldn't believe were true, and sure enough they were correct- so, mind blown!

I thought that these facts were great! There were quite a few details that I did not know, and found them interesting and useful. I listened to this while doing some other work and found myself stopping to go "Hmm" more than a few times. Great listen, great narration!

Truly Amazing Facts!
This short little gem that we picked up before our road trip with kids turned out to be a blessing in disguise! Not only did it keep all of us engaged, it also educated us with amazing facts. After listening to it once we started to quiz the kids by pausing the audio. Great fun! What I liked best about this book is that it is divided into 5 chapters each dedicated to a continent and it is jam packed with fun stuff. The author has done a great job of digging up interesting information and the narration is great as well. Highly recommended, specially if you are going on a road trip or any trip for that matter!
