The English word geography means "to describe the earth." 76 geography books focus on a small area 77 a town or city. Others deal with a state, a region, a nation, or an 78 continent.

86 between places. If all places 87 alike, there would be little need for geographers. We know, however, 88 no two places are exactly the same. Geography, 89 , is a point of view, a special way of 90 at places.
