Like, geography books for someone with nothing more than GCSE Geography and a love of the BBC series Coast?

My googling isn't yielding much.

There's pop physics (Brian Cox type stuff) and lots of history options, I guess because it's more narrative, but can anyone recommend me some geography to read as an adult with no expert knowledge?

I particularly like human geography if that makes a difference.

Thank you!

I've never read any Bill Bryson.

I like learning about how cities develop, migration etc, as well as how that interacts with the geology. Is that Bill's thing?
