Ein Buch, das unser Weltbild ins Wanken bringt. Ob bei Google Maps oder Apple: Täglich verlassen wir uns auf Karten. Aber wir denken selten darüber nach, wie umfangreich sie Einfluss auf unser Leben nehmen. Zum Beispiel durch die Mercator-Projektion aus dem 16.

Welcome to the geography of everything, the podcast where we try to figure out the geography of, well, everything.Stephen Hawking spent his life trying to come up with one equation that could describe everything in the universe.
