The bible of geography.

[Ignacio CM]

Intense, heart-breaking, top-tier best-seller which reflects on the early infancy of the author in West Carolina surrounded by oak forests and sparkling and pristine water riverflows where he used to go fishing. Accompanied by the memories of his father Arthur will learn how to survive in the Wild West during the Mexican Independence. Will read again.

[Ajay Ajay]

A very nice read for the students of physical geography. The illustration is good.

However, it is suggested that the chapters on Plate Tectonics and Continental Drift should be elaborated more, as the author has touched only the basic aspects of it.

Recommended for all those, who wants to understand the basic geography.
