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. Consider Hobyo, a real-life pirate capital on the coast of the Indian Ocean, or Sealand, an abandoned gun platform off the English coast that a British citizenclaimed as his own sovereign nation, issuing passports and making his wife a princess.Or Sandy Island, which appeared on maps well into 2012, despite the fact thatit never existed. Illustrated with original maps and drawings, Unruly Placesgives readers a new wayof understanding the places we occupy. It’s a stunning testament to how mysteriousthe world remains today.
