Krátky popis
New islands are being built at an unprecedented rate whether for
tourism or territorial ambition, while many islands are
disappearing because of rising sea levels or fragmenting due to
shrinking ice. It is a strange planetary spectacle, an
ever-changing map which even Google Earth struggles to keep pace
with. But it is also, Alastair Bonnett believes, a spectacle which
is imprinting itself on our hopes and anxieties.From a 'crannog',
an ancient artificial island in a Scottish loch, to the militarized
artificial islands China is building in the South China Sea, he
sets out to explore some of the world's newest, most fragile and
beautiful islands to find out why they have such a hold on our
imaginations.
