Why Geography Matters: Three Challenges Facing America

Climate Change, the Rise of China, and Global Terrorism

Edición de la obra Why Geography Matters

Preparing for climate change, averting a cold war with China, defeating terrorism: all of this requires geographic knowledge. In Why Geography Matters, Harm de Blij makes an urgent call to restore geography to America's educational curriculum. He shows how and why the United States has become the world's most geographically illiterate society of consequence and demonstrates that this geographic illiteracy is a direct risk to America's national security.
