This history-rich book is organized into four sections—Ancient Cities, Forgotten Lands, Shrinking Places and Threatened Worlds. With varied maps and photos, author Travis Elborough tells the stories of urban centers long erased (e.g. the Roman city of Timgad in Algeria) and places that are eroding before our eyes (e.g. Dead Sea, Venice).
