Geography: A Very Short Introduction

Like the earlier reviewer of this book I noticed that the authors said John Glenn was the first man on the moon. However, I was not going to let that stop me from finishing it. I'm glad I didn't, because this was a great introduction to Geography. The book delves into area such as Physical and Human Geography and how they intertwine. Also covered are the tools used and a chapter on what the future of Geography might hold. A common theme in the book is that Geography is a very diverse subject and is really hard to pin down because so many new theories and branches of the discipline are evolving. While the authors cover this well I decided it is also the weakness of the book. They spend too much time reiterating this theme. I suppose it is important to the subject, but I found it repetitive. I will look into some of the further reading provided at the end of the book because my curiosity is piqued. I think that is a good sign of any book in the series of Very Short Introductions and that is why I give it four stars.
