Start using Mumsnet Premiumyou know how there's pop psychology books...is there such a thing as pop geography?
(7 Posts)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!
Bill Bryson's travel books?
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?
Try anything by Jared Diamond
His books look perfect for me, thanks Eleanor!
I once came across this book in my search but haven't read it:
