Learning without realising!

Written with typical Horrible Geography humour, e.g.:-
`Before we set off, here's a word of warning.
You might have heard the saying, `It's a small world!'.
What a load of rubbish! The world is a very big place indeed and parts of it are horrible.
Horribly cold and icy, or horribly hot and dry.
On this trip, you'll be crossing raging rivers and scaling snow-capped freaky peaks. You might get hopelessly lost in the jungle or swept off your feet by a tornado. Wherever you end up, one thing`s for sure.
This tour is not for the weedy or faint-hearted....
Meet expert tour-guide and globetrotter, Wanda and her clever-clogs Uncle Cliff....and Parky the Penguin.....'

94 high quality, split over various sections, culminating in a fold out `Wicked World Journey Map', showing the 15 most daring journeys ever made and some details about the explorers who diced with death to go globe-trotting.'
