Krátký popis
Is geography really destiny?Our maps may no longer be stalked by
dragons and monsters, but our perceptions of the world are still
shaped by geographic myths. Myths like Europe being the centre of
the world. Or that border walls are the solution to migration.Or
that Russia is predestined to threaten its neighbours.In his punchy
and authoritative new book, Paul Richardson challenges recent
popular accounts of geographical determinism and shows that how we
see the world represented often isn't how it really is - that the
map is not the territory.Along the way we visit some remarkable
places: Iceland's Thingvellir National Park, where you can swim
between two continents; Bir Tawil in North Africa, one of the
world's only territories not claimed by any country; and we follow
the first train that ran across Eurasia between Yiwu in east China
and Barking in east London.Written with verve and full of quotable
facts,Myths of Geographyis a book that will turn your
world upside down.
