Where am I? What's on the other side of the hill? How do I get there from here? When you look at it simplistically, you can see how geography's responsible for the course of civilization. You can't understand history, politics, religion, culture or environment without understanding geography.
-Kenneth C. Davis, Don't Know Much about Geography
Our ancestors came from boats, but turned their backs on the oceans. We thought, 'This is a big country and will last us forever.' By turning our backs to the oceans—and Washington and Jefferson warning not to get into foreign affairs—we became an inward-looking country.
-Kenneth C. Davis, Don't Know Much about Geography
Refreshing and vastly informative...History in Davis's hands is loud, coarse, painful, funny, irreverent—and memorable.
-San Francisco Chronicle
