Phantom Islands of the Atlantic tells the strange tales of seven lands, conjured out of myth, human error, and occasionally a captain's hubris but nonetheless appearing on maps for centuries - even though many of them never actually existed. Writing with an intimate knowledge of the Atlantic, Donald S. Johnson sheds light on each island's dark origins and solves the mystery of its cartographic life through an intricate exploration of history and myth. From the Isle of Demons, born of a fable created by pious Christians, to the elusive Buss Island, the creation of an ambitious explorer, these islands are a fascinating legacy of the Age of Discovery. Beautifully illustrated with dozens of maps and engravings, Phantom Islands of the Atlantic brings these fanciful lands to life in a remarkable historical odyssey into the human spirit of exploration.
