Ein Buch, in dem man sich verlieren kann... wahnsinnig interessant und lehrreich mit tollen Karten und Bildern.
Man bekommt einen ganz anderen Einblick in die Welt. Toll!

Great for those who like maps and looking at places that were and places that are still here in some way. Goes through different cities and civilizations, ruins and places that are vanishing - Like the Danube and Dead Sea. Great for those who like looking at forgotten or lost cities, places that used to be and changing places today.

This is destined to be the favorite coffee table book of many who enjoy history and geography. The author has assembled a fascinating mixture of well-known and obscure places that have become lost throughout history. You'll learn about ancient civilizations, the mysterious disappearance of the Roanoke Colony, and a government decision to wipe China's Lion City of the map.

There's also much more of note within this book's pages, including concise descriptions of each area/civilization, large, full-color photographs, and maps. You may not ever be able to visit the sites mentioned by Travis Elborough, but he certainly provides enough information to help you envision walking through many ancient streets.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing an ARC. This review contains my honest, unbiased opinion.

I’m not much on geography, ostensibly, but this book’s concept drew me in. I was pleased to find the task well-executed in these pages. A book worth reading and enjoying.
