ATLAS OF UNTAMED PLACES

In a world increasingly bound by human activity, the true wild holds romantic visions of paradise, but also provokes fear and awe. Presented with beautiful maps and photography, here are immensely diverse floral kingdoms, remote jungles abundant with exotic birds, lightning-inducing lakes, acidic mud baths, and places such as Chernobyl, which has returned to a natural wild habitat. Also takes in bizarre destinations such as the tidal surges of the Qiantang River, the bridge to Modo Island, and the magnetic pull of Jabuka rock.
