Everything You Know About Planet Earth is Wrong

Some of what you think you know about the planet turns out to be wrong. This entry in the Everything You Know series sets out to correct widely held myths about the world's geography, nature, countries and cities, from the actual location of Mexico to the correct way of measuring an earthquake. Written with a light, entertaining touch, it moves through misinformation about people and places, the environment and how the world actually works, replacing assumption with fact along the way.
