Description
Is geography really destiny? Our maps may no longer be stalked by dragons and monsters, but our perceptions of the world are still shaped by geographic myths. Myths like Europe being the centre of the world. Or that border walls are the solution to migration. Or that Russia is predestined to threaten its neighbours. In his punchy and authoritative new book, Paul Richardson challenges recent popular accounts of geographical determinism and shows that how the world is represented often isn't how it really is. Written with verve and full of quotable facts, Myths of Geography is a book that will turn your world upside down. 'Outstanding... You'll never look at a map the same way again' Jonn Elledge, author of A History of the World in 47 Borders 'Paul Richardson dismantles eight myths we have come to tell ourselves about geography... and shows us how our geographical imagination has far-reaching consequences' David Rooney, author of About Time Insightful, entertaining and will force you to think differently' Dipo Faloyin, author of Africa is Not a Country
