Unruly Places



Sandy island the island that never was
Thalweg

"Hidden Geographies are the inverse of lost spaces.."
An Island that never was is a great hook into a book of uncommon geography. Leningrad and other countries and cities that change their name made me think of such recently affected places.
"New Moore looked like a political problem caused by nature and solved by climate change."
I had read about the aral sea depleting but this essay put it in the timeline context of its past and future.
This book with its look at borders, places uninhabited, distances kept from uncontacted tribes will make you rethink your sense of place, why we travel, where we live and where we chose to.

North sentinel island
Chitmahals

On one page, gent appeared, a word break with ur on the left side of the page, which made think of urgent origin.
