Summary:
Alastair Bonnett's tour of the world's most unlikely micro-nations, moving villages, secret cities, and no man'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 what'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. Illustrated with original maps and drawings, it's a stunning testament to how mysterious the world remains today. Features a special Canadian introduction by the author.
