An inspiration for artists and writers, they can be lively centers of holiday revelry or remote, mysterious spots; places of escape or of exile and imprisonment. In this cultural and scientific history of these alluring, isolated territories, Stephen A. Royle describes the great variety of islands, their economies, and the animals, plants, and people who thrive on them. 410 0$aEarth series (Reaktion Books (Firm)) 606 $aIslands 615 0$aIslands. 676 $a909.0942 700 $aRoyle$b Stephen A$g(Stephen Arthur),$0307209 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910787300703321 996 $aIslands$93828970 997 $aUNINA
