On the surface, this seems to be a really neat book. The feel of it is great, the graphics are beautiful, and the idea is unique. The problem (and the reason I gave it 3 stars) is the content associated with each of the 'countries that don't exist'. There isn't much detailed information, and, in fact, the information is in a vignette format, almost like the author is telling a story of someone who lived in the specific country 'that (didn't) exist'. I felt as though I was reading a combined non-fiction / fiction book with the actual information shared about the 'countries that don't exist' feeling like the latter.The other issue I have is that I think that 'countries that don't exist' were left out. I seem to remember a few 'countries' in South Africa (Ciskei, Transkei and Bophuthatswana) that were independent states and were then reintegrated into South Africa. I am wondering if the author just ran out of room, or if these didn't meet the criteria for inclusion. And I also wonder if there are more than this out there?All in all, a good idea. A good book...but it could have been great.
Beautiful. The other reviews criticizing the entries in this book made me wonder if it was good. I think the graphics and format are BEAUTIFUL and the content is challenging even to my geographic expert family members! If you want to know more about the places and the conflicts surrounding their desire for independence and recognition, do your own research.
There are many really excellent stories here, but they're quite short and the authors provide no bibliography or index for those who would like to follow up.
I gave the book as a gift to my grandson, Alex. He loved and proudly took it to school.
Interesting, well written, easy to read
Rather disappointing. The author provides brief vignettes about each place, foregoing the opportunity to say something meaningful about any of them. It does have maps, which is good, but it's otherwise underwhelming. Not worth the money. At least on my Kindle edition of this book, all the type was in italics. Annoying.
I have some mixed feelings about this book. It's a great idea for a book, and the book is nicely done. The maps are good. It's a quick and somewhat amusing read.But it's a mix of not really real countries, call them concepts, and countries that could be very real and may be someday. These fall into several groups. A couple are places that do have a kind of existence, supported by a country for its own reasons such as Abkhazia and Transnistria (Russia) and North Cyprus (Turkey). A few are conceptual, such as the Republic of Lakotah, posited by the Sioux tribes (Lakota, Dekota and other names, "Sioux" being the most common name form outsiders).Then there are places that could be countries, that have culture, traditions, maybe language and have paid a price in the past for desire for independence--Catalonia (in Spain) and Sahrawhi (the former Spanish Morocco, annexed by Morocco and subject to some rebel violence). A few are countries in the sense there is a distinct culture and announcing moves for independence might lead to more attention from government, like Moskitia (of the Miskito people in Nicaragua--not to be confused with Belize).Then there are some that are troublesome and in the near term may see increased violence. Bangsamoro is a Muslim area in the Philippines, on the island of Mindoro and islands nearby, which resisted Spain for centuries, engaged in a gory little war with American troops after the US annexed the Philippines, and West Papua, annexed by Indonesia in 1963, subject to extreme exploitation.It's this odd combination of amusing conceptual countries, places with real separation movements, and places that have been the setting of ectreme violence (Circassia) that make for me, an uneasy combination. As noted maps are good. The brief comments are about the same length for large places and tiny places (Greenland and Mayotte); useful but too brief. The purpose of the book is assort of amusing armchair travel, but as noted the inclusions don't fit together particularly well. They might lead some readers to investigate more and really find out about some of these places .
5486. An Atlas of Countries That Don't Exist A Compendium of Fifty Unrecognized and Largely Unnoticed States, by Nick Middleton (read 16 Jul 2017) This kind of spoofy book will appeal to people interested in geography. I recall when I was in 3rd grade in a room with 4th graders I envied them because one of the subjects they had was geography, which we third graders did not have. This book lists 50 "countries" some of which we all recognize, such as Greenland, Antarctica, Isle of Man, Somaliland, Taiwan,and even maybe Ruthenia. But Pontinha? Even the whiz kids who participate in geography contests would no doubt miss on that one. For good reason: its population is 4. (It is an island near Madeira--we know where that is, right?) And it is not the least populated "country" listed in this book. Akhzivland's population is given as 2. And there is one "country", Minerva, listed with its population given as 0. So no matter how skilled you are in geography, you are bound to learn from this uniquely designed book. (I think I am supposed to tell you that it was given me free in return for a published review, so I do so tell you.)
