"Geography
has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us
partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those
whom God has so joined
together, let no man put asunder.”
John F Kennedy
"Geography is the scientific study of
the locational and spatial variation in both physical and
human
phenomena on Earth. The word derives from the Greek
words
γη or γεια ("Earth") and γραφειν ("to write," as in
"to
describe")".
