SUMMARY:Patrick Barkham - Islander - A Journey Around our Archipelago
DESCRIPTION:\n\nThe British Isles are an archipelago made up of two large i
 slands and 6\,289 smaller ones. Some\, like the Isle of Man\, resemble mi
 niature nations\, with their own language and tax laws\; others\, like Ra
 y Island in Essex\, are abandoned and mysterious places haunted by myths
 \, ghosts and foxes. There are resurgent islands such as Eigg\, which ha
 ve been liberated from capricious owners to be run by their residents\; h
 oly islands like Bardsey\, the resting place of 20\,000 saints\, and stil
 l a site of spiritual questing\; and deserted islands such as St Kilda\, 
 famed for the evacuation of its human population\, and now dominated by 
 wild sheep and seabirds.\n\n[caption id="attachment_4615" align="alignrigh
 t" width="193"] Photo: Marcus Garrett[/caption]\nIn this evocative and viv
 idly observed book\, Patrick Barkham\, the Natural History writer of the G
 uardian\,  explores some of the most beautiful landscapes in the Britis
 h Isles as he travels to ever-smaller islands in search of their special 
 magic. Our small islands are both places of freedom and imprisonment\, p
 arty destinations and oases of peace\, strangely suburban and deeply wild.
 \nThey are places where the past is unusually present\, but they can also
  offer a vision of an alternative future. Meeting all kinds of islanders\
 , from nuns to puffins\, from local legends to rare subspecies of vole\, 
 he seeks to discover what it is like to live on a small island\, and what
  it means to be an islander.
