  Pocket Atlas of Remote Islands by Judith Schalansky

  Price: £12.99    Add to Basket

  An exquisitely designed book detailing 50 remote islands with their co-ordinates, a timeline and a map of each. Schalansky has discovered just a scattering of facts for each island, but she has written them like poems, "Not a blade of grass grows on the island. A dozen scraggy pigs sprawl under the palm trees, descendents of a stranded heard." Clipperton Atoll, Pacific Ocean.
