The "curiosities" of the 59 locations are mostly administrative ones, dictated by unusual geography as influenced by historical incidents. The world is full of little-known facts that have sometimes been a source of diplomatic or military struggle.La risposta non si trova a Bruxelles, ma nelle enclave dimenticate d'Europa: piccoli frammenti di un Paese completamente circondate da un altro. Welcome to this compendium of interesting, unexpected and downright bizarre geographical anomalies that are guaranteed to delight and inspire.

Having worked and lived in Australia, England, Scotland and Ireland, and having travelled in over 70 countries, Vitali is the author of 15 books translated into five languages.

The world is full of very little-known geographical anomalies that are, or have often been, a source of diplomatic and/or military struggles. A Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society (with IBG), he has worked as a journalist for some of the major English-language newspapers of the world and is now also a Royal Literary Fund Fellow as well as a Writing Fellow and Teaching Associate at the University of Cambridge.The bulk of the entries are exclaves or enclaves, or some variation thereof and the book is best consumed in short bursts, as all the administrative minutiae starts to run together if one reads too much at a go. It's a pity because otherwise the design is pretty thoughtful (another quibble is that few of the maps are a little basic). The Atlas is perfect for the long winter evenings, immersing yourself in a discovery of some of the weird and wonderful ways humans have mapped their world. There were a lot of facts in here I did not know, and reading about all these extraordinary places was fun.
