For far too long, children have been exposed to geography only through school textbooks. These are oriented towards examinations and not towards a joyous exploration of a world of ideas through geography.
Teachers who go beyond the textbooks to teach geography are rare. Thus, children develop a very limited view of geography. In fact, no matter what career a child may choose, a good understanding of geography and its power will help them immensely.
Over several years, the Deccan Herald Student Edition has been publishing a weekly geography column that invites readers (mainly children in grades 7 and above) to see geography all around them. And to marvel at the roles that geography plays in so many aspects of life.
Geography, everywhere! is a collection of a few of the essays that were published. We hope to bring out more such collections in the near future.
