About the book: 2012 / In childhood, everything seems interesting, and then all-knowing adults give ready-made answers, simplify and flatten. Country. Planet. World. Children become adults and forget the smells and colors of their native land. Once upon a time, adults were like children: they comprehended and discovered the unknown, step by step, like a baby in his crib. Along the perimeter, along the coast, from this mountain to that mountain, from island to island. And the travels stretched on for years. This is how civilization began, this is how geography began. Science, which was taken away from childhood. This book is an attempt to change the current order of things. An attempt to return geography to the child. Return the child to the Earth and the World.
