Edited by Somasiri Devendra, Stefan D’ Silva, and Sarala Fernando, this book is an in-depth exploration of Sri Lanka's unique offshore and inland islands, presenting over 100 islands around the mainland, from the expansive Mannar to the tiniest Sinigama and Werallaiya. The collection of articles authored by experts—including Shereen Amendra, Maneshka Borham, Shravasti Dhammika, George Cooke, Sunela Jayawardene, and others—dives into each island's distinct legal, historical, geographical, and environmental significance.

 

Through diverse perspectives, Sri Lanka: Island of Islands examines the pressing challenges these islands face in an era of rising seas and warming oceans, where coastal and ecosystem vulnerabilities are increasingly critical. This volume extends beyond coastal geography to reveal rich ecosystems within Sri Lanka’s lagoons and rivers, where inland islands thrive with diverse flora and fauna. For anyone interested in the intersections of climate change, island heritage, and ecological diversity, this book is an essential addition to their collection.
