The New Summit book is loaded with smarts.
The great Dietmar spotted this wonderful instrument of learning in Germany and kindly forwarded it to me.
According to Dietmar’s own count, the book contains precisely two maps of Europe. Here’s the first one, from page 65:
Slovenia and Croatia mind-meld into one?
You might notice that Slovenia and Croatia are a single blob but, hey, whaddyagonnado? Mistakes happen right? You’re damn right they do. In fact, sometimes they happen repeatedly, like when they mess Slovenia up again on page 92:
Slovenia and Hungary: together at last?
This second map is even better. First, Slovenia’s famous chicken head seems to be suffering from a severe case of elephantiasis. Second, although this book was republished this year, it lists Slovenia (and all the other “new” members) as outside of the EU.
Unfortunately, there’s no time to be smug. Especially when, according to the Financial Times, Germany (and Zimbabwe??) are ahead of Slovenia in overall quality of education. Makes me wonder what kind of awful maps Slovenian kids are studying.
(Thanks Dietmar!)
