ATLAS OF ABANDONED PLACES (HB)

A glorious palace for a fallen dictator; a grand monument to Communism on a mountaintop; two never-launched space shuttles in the middle of the desert… With remarkable stories, bespoke maps and stunning photography of fifty forsaken sites, this book takes you into abandoned narratives and futures which didn’t work out. Award-winning travel writer Oliver Smith is your guide to locations including Aldwych Station, the Paris Catacombs, Red Star Train Graveyard, Wolf's Lair, Palace of Sans Souci in Haiti, Montserrat Exclusion Zone, Ciudad Perdida, and Tskaltubo spa in Georgia.
