Vanishing Places - from the publishers of Rough Guides - is a first-edition, inspirational title, shining a light on places around the world that are vulnerable, fragile or disappearing altogether, in a substantial coffee table book format.
- Lavishly illustrated, this is an ambitious title that captures the essence of Rough Guides' mindful travel ethos through stunning images and engaging writing.
- It offers a fascinating look at 100 special, important and quirky locations across the globe, from the familiar to the unknown, and from those facing environmental peril to those where the local culture is changing rapidly.
- The geographically-organised destinations take us on a journey from Switzerland's glaciers to neglected tombs in Pakistan, hidden underground worlds in Mexico to Spain's emptying villages. Each entry tells a story about these vanishing places, the context that has led to this point and what can be done to preserve them in the future.
- With a fresh and striking design, Vanishing Places makes a thoughtful and intriguing travel title, showcasing the beauty and delicacy of our world.
- Over 100 stunning images combine with authoritative and informed story-telling.
