Raw data is bewildering by itself, it means nothing, it scares & confuses. Human intellect rationalises the immense continuum of its surroundings by means of categorisations, tables, & timelines. With this concept in mind, this book represents a challenging proposal: it is the attempt to find a cultural pattern for each country of the EU stated on the distinctiveness of the statistics, the arbitrariness of the samples & the persistency of the stereotypes. The rigorous approach treats the supposedly familiar, the obvious, & the obviously curious, in the same way. This book is meant as a search for the hidden & the subtle, setting out on a quest for a bird`s eye view, & as a way to heed details, however small. Geo-graphic Europe is a book filled with dazzling trivia & curiosities; it embraces our national identities
- in their economical, cultural & political aspects
- & delivers them in a fun, informative & immediate way.
