Description:
A beautifully presented gift for anyone with an intrigue for geographical curiosities.

This beautifully designed book presents unusual borders, enclaves and exclaves, divided or non-existent cities and islands.
Numerous conflicts have left countries divided and often shattered. Remnants of countries can by design or accident be left behind as a legal anomaly in this complex world.

Most people believe that a country’s borders are clearly defined: just lines that separate countries. Everything on one side of the line belongs to one country and everything on the other side belongs to another country. This might be the case most of the time, but there are unusual exceptions to this unwritten rule.

Examples include:
• Campione d’Italia where Italian residents have to travel 15km through Switzerland to reach the nearest available Italian territory
• Tomb of Suleyman Shah which is a tiny Turkish enclave within Syria which was moved closer to Turkey when Lake Assad was created but still stayed in Syria
• Pheasant Island which for half a year belongs to the Spanish city of Irun, and the remaining half, to its French twin-town, Hendaye
• Canadian Stanstead and American Beebe Plain where the boundary line runs along the centre of the main street, so that the houses on one side of the street are in Canada and on the other in the United States

These and many more instances are captured in this fascinating book full of strange geographical intrigue.

Nice, sturdy, convenient cutting boards
My daughter and her fiance do a lot of cooking, and really like the quality and sizes of these cutting boards. I got a similar set last year, and I like how they have held up. I also like the holder. Just wash and oil them occasionally and they should last many years.

Not a happy customer
Color: Brown, Size: 14.9"L x 0.6"W
If you are looking for nice size cutting boards, then these are not for you! They are very small and I didnt like the etching on the cutting boards, they will get filled with things you are cutting. What I least didn't liked don't know if its Amazon fault or the vendor? But the item came in the original box the boards were in, the the top part of the box was open. Everything was in the box but the label was on the box. When I returned it to the UPS store they wanted to charge me$10.19 for a box even though it was shipped without a box finally convinced them to put in a large envelope and they still charge me $2.75. Not happy at all with this vendor or maybe Amazon?
