Beautiful and engaging

“The Atlas of Vanishing Places” is printed on heavy stock with hand-drawn maps of the area being reviewed. The maps are illustrated with sections identified that characterize the source of the area’s degradation— pollution, reduced water levels, distinctive sites believed to represent historic colonies, etc. Each site is graced with several photographs and drawings. The text is somewhat awkward but the book’s artistic qualities more than compensate. The sites are organized by the themes of Ancient Cities, Forgotten Lands, Shrinking Places, and Threatened Worlds. A very interesting and compelling compilation!
