About this book

Sad Topographies by RUDD DAMIEN/DIDYK KA. paperback edition. ISBN: 9781471169298.

The mystery of depressing place names including Misery (Germany) and Nothing (Arizona) is the guiding principle of this unusual travel guide. Intrigued by what lies behind the labelling of such dispiriting locations as Disappointment Island (Southern Ocean) or Mount Hopeless (Australia), the author investigates the etymologies, history and myths associated with each location. Illustrated with hand-drawn maps, photographs and artworks.
