About the Book
Contextus explores the world through a spatial lens and shows that geography is much more than just points on a map. Geography is history, its politics, its economics, its dozens of other interconnected fields of study. Contextus gives people the tools to see these connections and find answers to their questions for themselves, which makes for a more active and engaging learning experience. By providing more insight to an answer rather than just hard facts, the user is learning through the medium, not just the message.
Geography is a soft science, subjective and open to interpretation. Contextus celebrates that and creates a forum for people to engage in healthy debate and intelligent discussion.
