Maps Drawn From Happy Accidents

Travis Elborough, a noted historian of popular culture and geography, gathers forty-five places around the world that were discovered entirely by chance rather than by design.

Each location comes with its own map and short history, from an improbably tiny island to the spot where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found by a wandering goat, illustrated throughout with black and white photography.

It suits armchair travellers and map lovers who enjoy offbeat history and stories of curious discovery.
