Description:
A STUNNINGLY ILLUSTRATED BOOK REVEALING THE GREATEST MYTHS, LIES AND BLUNDERS ON MAPS
'Highly recommended' - Andrew Marr
'A spectacular, enjoyable and eye-opening read' - Jonathan Ross

The Phantom Atlas is an atlas of the world not as it ever existed, but as it was thought to be. These marvellous and mysterious phantoms - non-existent islands, invented mountain ranges, mythical civilisations and other fictitious geography - were all at various times presented as facts on maps and atlases. This book is a collection of striking antique maps that display the most erroneous cartography, with each illustration accompanied by the story behind it.

Exploration, map-making and mythology are all brought together to create a colourful tapestry of monsters, heroes and volcanoes; swindlers, mirages and murderers. Sometimes the stories are almost impossible to believe, and remarkably, some of the errors were still on display in maps published in the 21st century. Throughout much of the 19th century more than 40 different mapmakers included the Mountains of Kong, a huge range of peaks stretching across the entire continent of Africa, in their maps - but it was only in 1889 when Louis Gustave Binger revealed the whole thing to be a fake. For centuries, explorers who headed to Patagonia returned with tales of the giants they had met who lived there, some nine feet tall. Then there was Gregor MacGregor, a Scottish explorer who returned to London to sell shares in a land he had discovered in South America. He had been appointed the Cazique of Poyais, and bestowed with many honours by

Saved my skin during the winter
Such a great multi-purpose product!! I’ll use under my eyes if my skin is dry, or if I’m using an active that I know will dry my skin. I also would slather it on during the winter if I was walking or running outside and I knew it would be windy. It really helped against windburn.

Lightweight SPF that layers well under makeup
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
This sunscreen feels much lighter than many high-SPF formulas I’ve tried and blends into the skin without leaving a heavy white cast. The texture spreads easily and gives a hydrated finish without feeling greasy, which makes it comfortable for everyday wear on both the face and body. I also liked that it layered well under makeup without pilling. I used this during long outdoor days and it held up well while still feeling comfortable on the skin. The SPF 60 protection is reassuring, especially for travel, beach days, festivals, or daily sun exposure. Overall, this is a reliable sunscreen option if you want strong protection with a more wearable, skincare-like texture.

A Must-Have for Sensitive Skin
Size: 5 Fl Oz (Pack of 1)
recently tried La Roche-Posay sunscreen and I’m really impressed! 🌞 The texture is lightweight, non-greasy, and absorbs quickly without leaving a white cast, which is a big plus for daily wear. It feels gentle on my skin and doesn’t clog pores, making it perfect for sensitive or acne-prone skin. I also love that it provides strong, broad-spectrum protection while still feeling breathable. Overall, it’s become my go-to sunscreen—I actually enjoy applying it every morning because it feels more like skincare than sunscreen. Definitely worth it! I would be honored if you would consider me to receive a PR package. I’d love the opportunity to try more of your products and create authentic content that highlights the benefits of La Roche-Posay skincare. Thank you so much for your time and consideration! Warm regards, Andrea Mohanlall
