Imagine what the world once looked like as you discover places that
have disappeared from modern atlases in this stunningly illustrated
and award-winning book. Have you ever wondered about cities that
lie forgotten under the dust of newly settled land? Rivers and seas
whose changing shape has shifted the landscape around them? Or,
even, places that have seemingly vanished, without a trace?
Following the international bestselling success of Atlas of
Improbable Places and Atlas of the Unexpected, Travis Elborough
takes you on a voyage to all corners of the world in search of the
lost, disappearing and vanished. Discover ancient seats of power
and long-forgotten civilizations through the Mayan city of
Palenque; delve into the mystery of a disappeared Japanese islet;
and uncover the incredible hidden sites like the submerged Old
Adaminaby, once abandoned but slowly remerging. With beautiful maps
and stunning colour photography, Atlas of Vanishing Places shows
these places as they once were as well as how they look today: a
fascinating guide to lost lands and the fragility of our
relationship with the world around us. WINNER Illustrated Book of
the Year - Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2020 Also in the
Unexpected Atlas series: Atlas of Improbable Places, Atlas of
Untamed Places, Atlas of the Unexpected.
