DISPUTED TERRITORIES is an ATLAS researched and written by ANTHONY BARILLA.
THREE YEARS in the making, DISPUTED TERRITORIES documents the author's first-hand experiences on four continents and in dozens of countries. USEFUL DATA is presented on the ORIGIN, HISTORY, and CURRENT LEGAL STATUS of various national entities, unrecognized states, submerged islands, meandering river beds, and much, much more. Special attention is given to the birth of TEXAS and death of YUGOSLAVIA. New facts are presented, calling into question the existence of a certain African nation. Cultural practices and unusual species are carefully catalogued for easy reference. A number of IMPORTANT POLITICAL MATTERS affecting the MODERN WORLD are examined.
It is the author's intent to arm you with the KNOWLEDGE YOU NEED by developing and disseminating a new kind of atlas for the discriminating consumer. DISPUTED TERRITORIES introduces an ORIGINAL SYSTEM of research, analysis, and organization, designed by the author to help you reach better-informed conclusions about the world we live in. It is the perfect gift for dedicated professionals, curious amateurs, and children of all ages.
(NOTE: DISPUTED TERRITORIES is not appropriate for children under the age of 13 due to its frank treatment of topics of a sexual and deeply emotional nature.)
Each ATLAS is handmade and comes in a handsome BOX to protect it from WEAR AND TEAR. What's more, atlases are produced in limited editions of twenty or less, meaning that each one is a unique WORK OF ART.
At the author's insistence, DISPUTED TERRITORIES will not be sold online or in stores. Instead, each series of up to twenty atlases will be made available on a case-by-case basis to interested parties along with a BRIEF and ILLUMINATING LECTURE BY THE AUTHOR, who will provide useful and personalized recommendations on the PROPER USE AND ENJOYMENT of the atlases. And now, YOU can have the pleasure of hosting one of these STIMULATING AND EDUCATIONAL EVENINGS, thereby enriching your social circle and earning the gratitude of your friends and colleagues. Individuals interested in hosting a reading in their home, lodge, local civic center, etc. should contact the author immediately. Presentations will begin in the late spring and early summer of 2015.
DO NOT WAIT TOO LONG to take advantage of this opportunity: DISPUTED TERRITORIES addresses problems affecting us today, using the methods and logic of a WELL-TRAINED ARTIST. Your well-being as an ARTS CONSUMER and CITIZEN OF THE WORLD may well be strongly impacted by the contents of this new, one-of-a-kind reference book.
