From the Dust Jacket: "[During the 19th century and well into the 20th], nautical charts and general atlases showed many islands which today are known not to have existed… Stommel describes how these little pin-pricks of land got on to the charts, who 'discovered' them, who expunged them, and why some were so long-lived. It is a chronicle of poor navigation, misprints, falsifications, optical illusions, wild whalers' tales, wistful hopes, and a few real islands which rose and fell beneath the waves.". First Edition. Hardcover. New/in publisher's shrinkwrap. Illus. by Barbut, Victoria (jacket design). xxi, 146pp. Great Packaging, Fast Shipping. 1984.
