Description
Book Introduction
“As the world we live in becomes more complex, geographical perspective will become increasingly important!”
Geography will account for 40% of the integrated social studies section introduced in the 2028 College Scholastic Ability Test.
A friendly and fun geography class by Lee Yun-ji, a current geography teacher who has taught at EBS for a long time.
The ninth book in the Geuldam Publishing Youth Culture Book [111 Series].
"One Word a Day, One Minute Geography Study" selects 100 essential core words for understanding geography and introduces them in 10 chapters: topography, climate, culture, population, city, politics, economy, disaster, environment, and map.
Although we often think that studying geography is only about learning how to read maps or memorizing the names of mountains and rivers, geography is the study of places, cultures, and people based on all visible geographical information.
Therefore, developing a geographical perspective can be an important tool for understanding the complex and intertwined world.
Additionally, with the abolition of elective subjects and the establishment of an integrated social studies section starting with the 2028 College Scholastic Ability Test (CSAT), interest in geography, which will account for a high proportion of the subjects, is also growing.
Author Lee Yoon-ji, a current geography teacher and long-time lecturer at EBS, has compiled this book to help readers enjoy geography, a subject that can be difficult and complex.
By providing concrete examples of everyday phenomena and events, such as sporting goods brand names like Patagonia and The North Face, glacial landforms, the Qatar World Cup and carbon neutrality, McDonald's French fries and the spatial division of labor in corporations, the concept of geography is brought closer to our lives, making it more familiar and acceptable to readers.
Covering a wide range of topics, from topography and climate to topics that might make you wonder, "Is this even related to geography?" As you read through them one by one, you'll naturally learn the basic concepts needed to understand geography and develop a keen eye for geography.

Into the book
Since the 1960s, when our country began to pursue industrialization in earnest, we have reclaimed many tidal flats and used them as farmland, residential land, and industrial land.
While creating reclaimed land can expand the national territory and bring significant economic benefits, it also has a greater negative impact on the environment, as it alters the existing coastal ecosystem and destroys the purifying function of tidal flats.
Today, the natural environmental value of tidal flats is being recognized as much as their economic value, with tidal flats being registered as natural monuments.
As interest in the environmental value of tidal flats grows, efforts are being made to protect tidal flats with excellent ecological environments by designating them as coastal wetland protection areas, and to restore damaged tidal flats to their original functions through reclamation and restoration projects.

New Zealand is a representative country that advocates multiculturalism, which recognizes and respects various cultures within a single country.
Although the total population is only 5 million, it is a multicultural society where 120 ethnic groups live together.
A multicultural society is one in which people of different races, religions, and cultures live together.
Multiculturalism is also an attitude or policy that seeks to respect multiple cultures in order to recognize and exchange the diverse cultures of single nation-states as globalization progresses.
--- p.70 From “Cultural Coexistence”
The rapid population decline and low birth rate in our country's rural areas have created a new social problem called 'local extinction.'
Local extinction refers to a situation in which a community's population declines, making it difficult for the community to function properly due to a lack of social infrastructure and living services, and difficulties in living.
This loss of land is not limited to remote islands and mountainous regions.
This phenomenon has already begun in small and medium-sized cities as well as metropolitan autonomous bodies.
There are even predictions that a nationwide extinction will occur by 2047.
Now is the time to examine the social problems caused by the aging population and devise proactive measures to address the disappearance of local communities.
--- p.99 From "Local Extinction"
Territorial disputes typically arise in areas where borders are not clearly defined, where one country has a history of occupying another's territory by force, or where ethnic minorities with different religions seek independence.
In particular, in the process of gaining independence from colonial nations, borders were established based on the interests of powerful nations, ignoring cultural characteristics such as tribes and religions.
This resulted in various tribes being incorporated into one country, or one tribe being divided into two along a border.
Moreover, Africa's abundant underground resources are becoming a curse rather than a blessing due to the competition for power surrounding them.
As a result, conflicts are breaking out all over Africa, and refugees are constantly being created.
--- p.136 From "Dispute"
Disasters pose a greater threat to those living in developing countries than to those living in developed countries, and even to the poor within the same country.
In fact, most of those who died in the Haiti earthquake were people living in slums or poor farming areas.
The substandard housing they lived in collapsed in an earthquake, causing significant casualties.
On the other hand, in Haiti, the upscale residential areas where the wealthy live were not significantly damaged.
--- p.195 From “Disaster Inequality”
Publisher's Review
“With just a smartphone, it’s easy to find your way around and find information anywhere in the world.
“Why do we have to study difficult and complicated geography?”
As the world becomes more complex, geographical thinking and perspective will become increasingly important!
When we think of studying geography, we often think of it as learning how to read maps, understanding regional climate characteristics, and examining the different geographical conditions of various countries around the world.
However, geography is not just about learning the information immediately before our eyes; it is a discipline that studies natural and humanistic phenomena related to human activities by collecting and analyzing such information.
Through the environment and place, we take a deep look into the people and culture that live there.
Therefore, developing a geographical perspective will enable you to understand the world more colorfully and deeply.
"One Word a Day, One Minute Geography Study" is a book that helps develop a geographical perspective, an excellent tool for properly understanding the world we live in.
This book was written by current geography teacher Lee Yun-ji based on her expertise gained from teaching geography in middle and high schools for a long time and giving geography and convergence education lectures at EBS.
We've selected 100 essential words you need to know to understand geography, and provided a concise, two-page explanation of each word.
By adding rich visual materials such as maps, graphs, tables, illustrations, and photos, it is designed to help students gradually acquire basic concepts that may have been overlooked during school geography classes.
“South Korea is the fastest-aging country in the world?”
“There is a country where abundant underground resources have become a curse?”
“Why do oil-producing countries like the United Arab Emirates invest their oil money in the arts and sports?”
Knowing geography gives us a new perspective on the world we live in!
Teacher Lee Yoon-ji, who has been teaching children in the field for a long time, goes beyond textbooks and tells interesting geography stories by drawing on phenomena and events we experience in our daily lives.
This book, which consists of ten chapters on geography, climate, culture, population, cities, politics, economy, disasters, environment, and maps, shows just how closely geography is related to our lives just by looking at the table of contents.
Through the story of the boys who were trapped in Thailand's Tham Luang Cave in 2018 and safely rescued, we learn about the characteristics of karst topography, introduce the meaning behind outdoor brands like The North Face and Patagonia, and explain glacial topography.
The story of Cappadocia in Turkey becoming a world-renowned hot air balloon destination explains the phenomenon of temperature inversion, BTS's successful Saudi Arabian concert illustrates localization strategies, and the story of the multicultural New Zealand rugby team provides a glimpse into cultural coexistence.
The case of the athletes marching with the Olympic rings at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics provides a glimpse into the world's refugee crisis, and the disappearance of French fries from McDonald's during the COVID-19 pandemic illustrates the multinational corporations driving globalization.
Covering a wide range of topics, from geography and climate to topics that might make you wonder, "Is this even related to geography?" Reading through them one by one, as if reading an engaging story, will naturally help you master the basic concepts of geography and cultivate a keen eye for geography in everyday life.
If you are curious about the space, people, and culture that surrounds you
A friendly geography guide that anyone can read easily and enjoyably.
The path you walked this morning, the people you met throughout the day, the news from another country on the other side of the world—these are things you might pass by without noticing, but with just a little bit of geographical imagination, you can glean many stories from them.
Developing a geographical perspective is the same as developing an interest in the world.
It is about gaining the ability to see the world broadly, deeply, and colorfully.
As the world becomes increasingly interconnected, influencing and intricately intertwined, countless untold stories lie beneath, and a geographic perspective is essential to truly understanding this world.
This book is a friendly guide to geography that avoids complex theories and technical terms as much as possible, and presents interesting cases in the simplest possible language, making it easy for anyone to read.
Even readers who have always found geography difficult and unfamiliar can slowly and gradually discover the joy of unlocking the world's secrets using geography as a key.
"One Word a Day, One Minute Geography Study" will lead readers into a wider and more exciting world.
