Atlas of Geographical Curiosities (Jonglez Photo Books) - Hardback book

Product Information

Das ganze Buch ist voller Rechtschreibfehler, die Satzstruktur ist nicht an die deutsche Grammatik angepasst und dadurch liest sich der Text leider sehr sperrig und teilweise auch konfus.

Each entry starts with a map (naturally), and then a page or two of explanatory text, detailing how the curiosity came to be. Having worked and lived in Australia, England, Scotland and Ireland, and having travelled in over 70 countries, Vitali is the author of 15 books translated into many languages.Two identical couples slip through the cracks from other universes and find themselves trapped in a world which is almost, but not quite, like their own.

Starting his career in the former USSR, where he became known as the country’s first investigative journalist, he was forced to defect in January 1990. The bulk of the entries are exclaves or enclaves, or some variation thereof and the book is best consumed in short bursts, as all the administrative minutiae starts to run together if one reads too much at a go. Relationships are strained, new attachments are formed and the beautiful little differences that make each of us unique are examined closely as they ponder how well we know our loved ones. The world is full of little-known geographical anomalies, sometimes the source of diplomatic friction but always of wonderment. The world is full of little-known facts that have sometimes been a source of diplomatic or military struggle.

Atlases are collections of maps in book form, and are a valuable resource for learning more about the world. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. It's a pity because otherwise the design is pretty thoughtful (another quibble is that few of the maps are a little basic). Join the East of England committee to hear all about Vitali's latest book, Atlas of Geographical Curiosities , a compendium of interesting, unexpected, and downright bizarre geographical anomalies that are guaranteed to delight and inspire.

Es geht um winzige Flecken auf der Erde, die aufgrund merkwürdiger politischer Machtverhältnisse willkürliche Zugehörigkeiten erfahren und dadurch auch oft willkürlich wirkenden Gesetzen unterworfen sind.
