| 520 ## - SUMMARY, ETC. | |
| Summary, etc. | Despite increasing global interconnectivity and an accelerated pace of change, we are less informed and less knowledgeable about geography than ever. Most of us go from kindergarten through college without taking a single geography class. As Harm de Blij argues persuasively, such geographic illiteracy poses a huge risk. In this second edition of his now-classic book, de Blij shows just how much geography does matter -- illuminating topics from the burgeoning power of China to the troubling disarray of the European Union, from the dangerous nuclear ambitions of North Korea to the revolutionary hopes of the Arab Spring. |
