My Thoughts:

I learned so much reading this book that I did not know - or forgot. It is very interesting. You can browse through the book, or read it chapter to chapter. It is fun to learn, and remember. A good book for students too, just to have on hand for reference. All the charts and maps are cool too, it helps you better understand what all the facts mean.

About The Author:

Will Williams, author of I Used to Know That: Geography: Stuff You Forgot From School, was born twenty-five yards from the Marston Brewery in Burton upon Trent. He always knew that places would be important in his life. After a good state school education at King Edward's, Lichfield, he went on to Hertford College, Oxford, where he read Geography. Though secretly harboring a desire to be a stuntman, he is currently entrenched as the Head of Geography at St Paul's School, London. The place he calls home, though, is near the banks of the Garonne in South West France, with his wife Christelle and daughter Fleuve.
