Why people recommend it
Atlas of Remote Islands by Judith Schalansky is a lyrical atlas cataloging fifty isolated islands around the globe with maps and short essays. On Stuff They Don't Want You To Know, Ben Bowlin repeatedly brought up the book as one of his absolute favorite works in the world. He recommended it to listeners interested in exploration and remote locations, specifically highlighting entries like Ascension Island and islands in the area of the Andaman archipelago, while also mentioning Diego Garcia. On a later episode, Bowlin humorously discussed the book to illustrate how frequently mentioning a favorite title on the show can accidentally cause it to go out of print or become relatively unaffordable due to a surge in listener attention and demand. Throughout multiple appearances, Bowlin consistently praised the hardback edition of the book, framing it as an amazing and essential read for anyone fascinated by geography, cartography, and the most obscure, faraway places on Earth. His sustained enthusiasm turned the title into a memorable recurring reference point for the podcast's audience over several seasons of remote location discussions.
