From Matt Rosenberg:
I've loved geography ever since I took a required class on urban and economic geography my freshman year at college. It's a fascinating discipline that incorporates diverse academic subjects to discover more about the earth and where humans live. It's my goal to provide you with the Internet's number one geographical community.
