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
