ATLAS OF IMPROBABLE PLACES (HB)

Despite modern mapping and satellite photography, our planet continues to hold surprises: hidden lairs, forgotten cities and even mankind's own feats of engineering eccentricity. Here are the creepy Island of Dolls in Mexico, the ruins of the Armenian city of Ani (sacked by the Mongols), the hauntingly titled Door to Hell - symbols of worship, testaments to vanished kingships, and reflecting strange and wonderful traditions both old and new. With beautiful maps and stunning photography this is a fascinating voyage to the world's most incredible destinations.
