An Atlas of Countries That Don't Exist
Acclaimed travel writer and Oxford geography Don, Nick Middleton will be joining us to discuss his new book ‘An Atlas of Countries That Don’t Exist’.
Most of us think we know what a country is, but in truth the concept is rather slippery. From Catalonia to the Crimea, and from Africa’s last colony to the European republic that enjoyed just a solitary day of independence, the places in this book may lie on the margins of legitimacy, but all can be visited in the real world.
