- The Pocket Atlas Of Remote Islands is a personal account of islands that have held a special place in author Judith Schalansky's heart, rendered in hardcover form. Using historic events and scientific reports as a springboard, she creates a story around each island: fantastical mixtures of fact and imagination produce worlds for the reader to explore. Illustrated in vibrant colors, the atlas shows all fifty islands on the same scale, in order of the oceans they are found. Schalansky lures us to fifty remote destinations from Tristan da Cunha to Clipperton Atoll and Christmas Island to Easter Island and proves that the most adventurous journeys take place in the mind.
