This book is not a textbook: you won't find chapters on Physical Geography or Economic Geography. But you will find geography itself – in the form of a lot of interesting facts, explanations, answers to questions and... new questions! new questions! Where to find Mediterranean forests, if there are almost none left on the Mediterranean coast? Why is the Northern Sea Route much shorter than it looks on the map? Where do watermelon and halva come from? Why do they build tall towers in Svaneti?
