This book is not a textbook: you will not find chapters on "Physical Geography" or "Economic Geography" in it. But you will find geography itself - in the form of a mass of interesting facts, explanations, answers to questions and... new questions! Where can you find Mediterranean forests if there are almost none left on the coast of the Mediterranean Sea itself? Why is the Northern Sea Route much shorter than it seems on the map? Where do watermelons and halva come from? Why are tall towers built in Svaneti?

Readers and the author will have to find the answers together. And in the course of our search, we will use physical geography, economic geography, biogeography, and the geography of cultures, countries, peoples, languages and even architectural styles.
We will learn which volcanoes are active in Germany, how to make a map out of sticks, why it is important to protect mangrove forests, what terra preta, abyssal and triangulation are. And at the end of the book, we will find the latest discoveries by geographers and geologists, proving that geography is a living science, and there are still plenty of blank spots in it that are waiting for their researchers!

Have a nice journey in the world of geography!
