Discover how to predict earthquakes, how scientists prepare for them and what really goes on under the Earth's crust when an earthquake hits it. Modern Geography has come a long way from its historical roots in exploring foreign lands, and simply mapping and naming the regions of the world.

Discover weird lake wildlife, join some intrepid lake explorers of the past and present, and take a look for Nessie in the dark depths of a loch! The Wild Islands for example has a full section about the Galapagos Islands that goes into detail about Charles Darwin and the Finches, including my daughter’s favourite bit a letter from him to his cousin from aboard HMS Beagle. Packed with hilarious illustrations and great facts that will have you rushing to share them with others, this is the book to help you laugh at the world around you. For over twenty years Horrible Geography has taken the boring out of geological surveys, the dull out of drafting a map, and tedium out of tide tables. A review in the journal Nature praised the series (along with Horrible Science) for its "sense of fun" alongside the educational content, but noted that the facts provided are occasionally misleading.
