'Beautifully written, inspiring photography, sleek design and
exquisite maps depicting ancient and forgotten lands in all their
former glory… But this book is so much more than a call to travel
to the far-flung corners of the globe…it is a welcome and timely
reminder of the beauty and fragility of the world in which we live,
and the importance of safeguarding it for future generations.
A joy to read, and a hands down winner for me.'
*Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2020*
'The vanishing places featured in this atlas, from archaeological
sites to encroached ecosystems, all compel... A reminder of
earthly evanescence — and of the urgency to preserve what we can of
what remains.'
*Nature magazine*
'The temporal sweep of the book is immense... very nicely produced
with alluring photographs and lovely colour maps... a great
Christmas gift for budding explorer and armchair
traveller alike.'
*Hackney Citizen*
