Abstract

Is geography anything more than an elementary school topic you had to endure? What harm is there if most Americans don’t know exactly where Korea or Afghanistan is? Geographer, author, professor, and TV personality Harm de Blij explains the implications of living in a country whose government leaders, news reporters, and average citizens cannot find Iraq on a map.
