Don't Know Much About Planet Earth
o sleeping volcanoes snore? Is the Dead Sea dead? How icy is Iceland? Join author Kenneth C. Davis on an entertaining trek across the globe as he answers some big questions about the world. With anecdotes about the world's most unusual places and notable quotes from world travelers throughout history, Davis leads you to the longest river, coldest desert, tallest waterfall, most powerful volcanic eruption, and much more. Humorous illustrations and amazing stories make the "boring" facts of geography come to life as you read about Marco Polo's adventures in China and discover that people in Latin America speak Spanish and Portuguese -- not Latin at all!
