Situation is the location of a place and how you locate it. If someone from a different country asked you where Washington D.C is, you would need to tell them a close location that they may know. It's a landmark that would turn into their starting position on their journey. For example, you would tell them D.C is south of New York. New York is a major tourist attraction for America. If you mention New York most people will get a basic idea of where to go. It's all about the surrounding areas. If you can describe what's around the location, people will find their destination easier. The Harford mall is a common landmark in Bel Air. Anyone who lives in Bel Air will know where the mall is. If someone wants to get to the new Popeye's that is opening soon, you could say it's down the street from the Harford mall.

He's a Biologists which is the study of human physiology. His real passion is to study birds. The book explains why Eurasian and North African civilizations have survived and conquered other areas. One factor of this is Geographic luck. This is when you are born into a well-developed area that is better than other areas. The book is also showing why white supremacy is wrong.
