Off The Map

Alastair Bonnettâ€™s tour of the worldâ€™s most unlikely micro-nations, moving villages, secret cities, and no manâ€™s lands shows us the modern world from surprising new vantage points, and is bound to inspire urban explorers, off-the-beaten-trail wanderers, and armchair travellers. He connects what we see on maps to whatâ€™s happening in the world by looking at the places that are hardest to pin down: inaccessible zones, improvised settlements, and multiple cities sharing the same space.
Consider Hobyo, a real-life pirate capital on the coast of the Indian Ocean, orÂ Sealand, an abandoned gun platform off the English coast that a British citizenÂ claimed as his own sovereign nation, issuing passports and making his wife a princess.Â Or Sandy Island, which appeared on maps well into 2012, despite the fact thatÂ it never existed.

Illustrated with original maps and drawings, Unruly Places gives readers a new wayÂ of understanding the places we occupy. Itâ€™s a stunning testament to how mysteriousÂ the world remains today.
