The Addenda to Chet Van Duzer’s Floating Islands: A Global Bibliography contain almost 200 new citations on the all aspects of the subject; they include material on floating islands that formed since the publication of Floating Islands, unique historical descriptions of several floating islands that no longer exist, and important new references on floating islands seen at sea and on the dispersal of species on floating islands.

The entries are annotated and cross-referenced, and are followed by a geographical and thematic index. The book also includes an account of the author’s visit to the rare intermittent floating island in Derwentwater, Cumbria, England, as well as sixteen photographs of floating islands around the world. The photographs of the floating island in Derwentwater in the Addenda are among the first color images ever published of that island.

If you already own Floating Islands, you will certainly want the Addenda; if you have not yet seen the book, the Addenda will give you a good idea why reviewers have called Floating Islands "masterful," "definitive," "exhilarating," and "amazing," and have insisted that "every environmental-related institute should acquire a copy."
