Review
Artist Tim Robinson first set foot on the fabled Aran Islands off the west coast of Ireland in the early 1970s, and before long he found himself put into service walking the island, recording all the details, and making maps. Taking to cartography, he eventually returned to the west coast of Ireland, what's known as Connemara, and continued prodigious walks, making maps, and writing essays. His writings about the stony, barren lands up against the raging Atlantic are highly evocative, and the wisdom he's picked up from the local inhabitants is both entertaining and inspiring.
