Entiende las teorías clave y los avances más importantes de la geografía.

¿Cómo se forman los volcanes y las montañas? ¿Qué determina los patrones climáticos? ¿Cómo han influido los ríos, los océanos y los desiertos en la migración y el desarrollo de las civilizaciones? El libro de la geografía responde a estas preguntas y a muchísimas más.

Con textos autorizados y gráficos llamativos, este libro presenta conceptos clave de diferentes ramas de la geografía, como la geografía física, la geografía humana y la geografía ambiental, y explica cómo se han desarrollado a lo largo del tiempo.

Pasa sus páginas y descubre:
  • Los procesos geológicos y atmosféricos que han moldeado la Tierra, como placas tectónicas, volcanes y corrientes oceánicas.
  • Cómo el clima, la topografía y los ecosistemas han influido en la evolución y la migración humanas.

Discover the key theories and milestone developments in the field of geography – the study of Earth’s diverse landscapes and climates, and the ways in which we have interacted with them through history and across the world.

Applying the series’ accessible, graphic-led approach to the subject, The Geography Book explores and explains the key geophysical and atmospheric processes that have shaped the Earth's geology, climate, and ecosystems. It also explains how these processes have influenced our cultures and civilizations and how we have influenced and impacted them in return, for better or worse.

Exploring and explaining more than 90 of the most important theories, discoveries, and milestones in this fascinating and increasingly important multi-disciplinary area of study, the book is the perfect introduction. Understand essential theories about tectonic plates, volcanic formation, and oceanic currents like never before; uncover the ways in which climate and topography have influenced human evolution and migration; and untangle the complex dynamics of trade routes and urbanization along the way.

Offering a fresh, accessible, and comprehensive angle on an essential and timely topic, The Geography Book reveals how physical landscapes, natural processes, and our own activities have shaped – and continue to shape – the world we live in.
We believe in the power of discovery. That's why we create books for everyone that explore ideas and nurture curiosity about the world we live in.
