Reviews

[Wasim · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book serves as a primer on a constellation of topics pertaining to physical geography. It's easily intelligible, though varies in depth. For example, I wouldn't spend much time poring over the discussion on continental drift on this book; you'd be far better served elsewhere. However, the biogeographical and ecological discussion within is surprisingly fleshed out, and the pointers to journal articles throughout are very welcome. I can't really complain about this book for what it is.

This book is exactly as it is described and yet somehow I went from being excited to read to it being the worst thing I’ve read about ten pages in. Entirely my own fault and had nothing to do with the book which is for the academic interested in the subject, not a layman’s introduction which I thought would have been fun and cool.
