In this beautifully photographed book, the author has captured
abandoned places in emotive form: places as dark as time; history
forgotten in the folds of the subconscious mind; beauty in decay, a
presentation of life open to our personal interpretations.
Atmospheric scenes unfold before the light of torches, with glass
crunching underfoot, complementing the unremitting sound of
dripping water. Creative wall art decorations attract attention,
bordering the natural and unnatural worlds with a broad range of
colours and exuding micro-organisms with compelling effects. The
author describes urbexing - the pursuit of images of the abandoned
and ruined - as a drug, a way of life as powerful as a state of
mind. This is her world - this is Perth.

Must 22 is a series of inspirational travel books which combine
accurate information on key locations in individual countries and
outstanding photography. The books are carefully packaged by
awarded designers and written by a team of experienced travel
writers. The Must 22 series is designed to inspire the armchair
traveller and to provide a reliable source of information for the
visitor.This edition reveals twenty-two places you just can't miss
when you come to Iceland. The island is sparsely populated and the
enormity of nature dominates it wherever you look - in contrast to
the warmth of the people who make themselves known at every
opportunity, parading the cultural heritage of the 1,200 years that
the island has been populated. Even once you've seen these 22
places, you're still far from uncovering all of Iceland's secrets.
But you will have come a little closer to understanding why this
enigmatic rock in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean is one of the
most peculiar, yet more charming places in the world.
