Van Loon's Geography [SCM]
by Hendrik Willem van Loon Author
This book contains no statistics about the import and export of raw cotton and canned kangaroo tails. It is packed full of information, but only as that information has something to do with us, as inhabitants of that "small, dark object, entirely surrounded by space" which is our home.
