Cities are mortal, but the traces they leave behind tell a fascinating story. In Atlas of Lost Cities, an accomplished travel writer reveals the rise and fall of notable places, each pithy portrait illuminated by a vintage map that puts armchair explorers right in the scene. Wander with care through:

-Ancient and legendary places like Pompeii, Teotihuacá and Angkor

-Contemporary wonders like Centralia, a nearly abandoned Pennsylvania town consumed by unquenchable underground fire

-Eerie planned communities like Nova Citas de Kilamba in Angola, where housing, schools, and stores were built for 500,000 people who never came

-Epecuen, a tourist town in Argentina that was swallowed by water

Condition: Used, like new
