John Darlington is an archaeologist and executive director of World Monuments Fund Britain.
“Timely, powerful and electrifying. This is a huge exploration of
our diverse histories. The story of how we try to carve out
societies in a world where they are all predisposed to collapse.
This is history and archaeology for now.”—Dan Snow, historian and
broadcaster
“John Darlington takes us on an exhilarating and erudite encounter
with ancient and lost peoples and places.”—Loyd Grossman, author of
An Elephant in Rome
“With an expert archaeological eye, John Darlington reveals the
very human stories behind awe-inspiring ruins around the world.
Ambitious in scope and profound in its conclusions, it charts the
changing fortunes of past civilisations and confronts the reality
of the future of our own.”—Bettany Hughes, author of Istanbul
