If only I should be so lucky....

to visit some of these islands....



Visually stunning and uniquely designed, this wondrous book captures fifty islands that are far away in every sense-from the mainland, from people, from airports, and from holiday brochures. Author Judith Schalansky used historic events and scientific reports as a springboard for each island, providing information on its distance from the mainland, whether its inhabited, its features, and the stories that have shaped its lore. With stunning full-color maps and an air of mysterious adventure, Atlas of Remote Island is perfect for the traveler or romantic in all of us. (if you want to order...it can be found here)


What a sucky job to have to go and research these islands?  Ughhh terrible.....

Two words:  MEGA MILLIONS.....meaning I buy, we fly :)
