Myths of geography : eight ways we get the world wrong / Paul Richardson.

Richardson, Paul, 1979-, author

London : The Bridge Street Press, 2024.

240 pages : illustrations (black and white) ; 24 cm

Is geography really destiny? Our maps may no longer be stalked by dragons and monsters, but our perceptions of the world are still shaped by geographic myths. Myths like Europe being the centre of the world. Or that border walls are the solution to migration. Or that Russia is predestined to threaten its neighbours. In his punchy and authoritative book, Paul Richardson challenges recent popular accounts of geographical determinism and shows that how we see the world represented often isn't how it really is - that the map is not the territory.
