Heightened with lyrical prose and backed by up-to-the-minute, well-sourced science, Obi demonstrates how we learn from the deep past to uncover truths about the future. Obi tells the story of how the road through geographic literacy leads to a new era of democratic sustainability, one that we can and will usher in together.
