    Reisgids - Reisverhaal Atlas of Unusual Borders | Zoran Nikolic
    The world is not always what we think it is. This book presents unusual borders, enclaves and exclaves, divided or non-existent cities and islands. Numerous conflicts have left countries divided and often shattered. Remnants of countries can by design or accident be left behind as a legal anomaly in this complex world. Most people believe that a country's borders are clearly defined: just lines that separate countries. Everything on one side of the line belongs to one country and everything on the other side belongs to another country. This might be the case most of the time, but there are unusual exceptions to this unwritten rule. Examples include: - Campione d'Italia where Italian residents have to travel 15km through Switzerland to reach the nearest available Italian territory. - Tomb of Suleyman Shah which is a tiny Turkish enclave within Syria which was moved closer to Turkey when Lake Assad was created but still stayed in Syria. - Pheasant Island which for half a year belongs…

    Reisgids - Reisverhaal Pocket Atlas of Remote Islands | Judith Schalansky
    'Utterly exquisite.' Robert MacFarlane, Guardian'Gorgeous, lyrical and whimsical.'

    Reisverhaal Dreaming of Jupiter | Ted Simon
    Reisverhaal Dreaming of Jupiter | Ted Simon
    Ted Simon is the author of the classic travel book JUPITER'S TRAVELS. It documents his four-year journey round the world by motorbike, travelling through Europe, Africa, South and North America, and Asia. A number one bestseller in the late 1970s, it is still regarded as one of the greatest motorcycle books - indeed, one of the greatest travel books - ever written. In 2001, at the age of 69, Ted Simon decided to retrace his journey, and DREAMING OF JUPITER is the result. It took him two and a half years - during which time he revisited all the countries he had travelled through in the 1970s. He found much had changed, and he reflects upon the increased poverty, political upheavals, environmental issues and indeed the changes in himself. But ultimately, DREAMING OF JUPITER is a hugely inspiring read with a positive message at its heart - that even at the age of 70 you can still set off on an adventure, and be surprised and excited by what life throws at you along the way. *'Gloriously …

    Productomschrijving

    The world is not always what we think it is. This book presents unusual borders, enclaves and exclaves, divided or non-existent cities and islands. Numerous conflicts have left countries divided and often shattered. Remnants of countries can by design or accident be left behind as a legal anomaly in this complex world.

    Most people believe that a country's borders are clearly defined: just lines that separate countries. Everything on one side of the line belongs to one country and everything on the other side belongs to another country. This might be the case most of the time, but there are unusual exceptions to this unwritten rule.

    Examples include:

    - Campione d'Italia where Italian residents have to travel 15km through Switzerland to reach the nearest available Italian territory.
    - Tomb of Suleyman Shah which is a tiny Turkish enclave within Syria which was moved closer to Turkey when Lake Assad was created but still stayed in Syria.
    - Pheasant Island which for half a year belongs to the Spanish city of Irun, and the remaining half, to its French twin-town, Hendaye.
    - Canadian Stanstead and American Beebe Plain where the boundary line runs along the center of the main street, so that the houses on one side of the street are in Canada and on the other in the United States.

    These and many more instances are captured in this fascinating book full of strange geographical intrigue.
