Description
Explore the forgotten places that lie beyond the edge of history. Travis Elborough takes you on a journey to 40 abandoned and deserted destinations around the globe, from ancient ruins to modern relics. You'll discover sites like Santa Claus, Arizona, USA - a festive tourist resort-turned-ghost town in the desert - and Crystal Palace Subway, London, UK - an underground, cathedral-like relic that many Victorian commuters bustled through. Each location is accompanied by moving historic and geographic accounts that bring their stories back to life. From Montserrat, West Indies, with its volcano still active and nearly half of the island a designated exclusion zone, to Balaklava Submarine Base, Crimea - a former top-secret Soviet submarine base kept off all official maps - this book offers a unique glimpse into the world's most overlooked places.
