All three quotes below were taken from a book called Geography for Life, written by geographers and
teachers from around the United States.
Quote #1: Geography is for life in every sense of that expression: lifelong, life-sustaining, and life-
enhancing. Geography is a field of study that enables us to find answers to questions about the world around
us about where things are and how and why they got there.
Quote #2: Geography focuses attention on exciting and interesting things, on fascinating people and places,
on things worth knowing because they are absorbing and because knowing about them lets humans make
better-informed and, therefore, wiser decisions.
Quote #3: With a strong grasp of geography, people are better equipped to solve issues at not only the local
level but also the global level.
