Geographica

The Geographica (Ancient Greek: Γεωγραφικά Geōgraphiká), or Geography, is an encyclopedia of geographical knowledge, consisting of 17 'books', written in Greek by Strabo, an educated citizen of the Roman empire of Greek descent. Work can have begun on it no earlier than 20 BC. A first edition was published in 7 BC followed by a gap, resumption of work and a final edition no later than 23 AD in the last year of Strabo's life. Strabo probably worked on his Geography and now missing History concurrently, as the Geography contains a considerable amount of historical data. Except for parts of Book 7, the complete work is known.

Title of the work

Strabo refers to his Geography within it by several names:

Apart from the "outline", two words recur, "earth" and "country." Something of a theorist, Strabo explains what he means by Geography and Chorography:

Geographica (album)

Geographica is the sole full-length album by New Zealand rock band Weta, released in 2000.

Rumoured to cost up to $400,000 Weta's management planned to use the album to launch the band in Australia --- but the band broke up before its release in that country. With no band to support the album on tour, Warner Music decided only to release the album in NZ, where it reached 8 on the charts and went platinum.

"Calling On" served as lead single, with "Snapshot" and "If I Will I Can" released as radio-only singles after the album's release.

"Let It Go" had already been released to radio on the Natural Compression EP.

The single "Calling On" serves as the opening music for the film When Strangers Appear.
