Atlas of Untamed Places by Chris Fitch
An intrepid journey through fearsome landscapes, feral environments, and the untouched and inhospitable wildernesses that make up the world's wildest places.
‘John Muir, Henry David Thoreau, William Wordsworth and Theodore Roosevelt would undoubtedly have been breathless in their breeches to be able to join Fitch on this stupendous feat to faraway haunts and far-out hideaways: remote jungles, acidic mud baths, rollicking rivers, below-zero-degree terrains, parching hot desertsLayered with maps and photography, this ambitious atlas is an intrepid traveler's flashlight to scores of OMG oddities, exotic escapes, bizarre lairs, extreme environments, untouched lands, weird customs and isolated regions. Not up for mountain climbing or down for handling desert heat? Armchair travelers will be attentive as well, grateful that Fitch has done the heavy lifting to shed light on these amazements.’ * Forbes *
'A beautiful and very readable book. I read it at a sitting.' * Robin Hanbury-Tenison, explorer *
Illustrated with clear maps and black and white photography, it is an atlas of destinations so remote, rugged and bizarre that many chapters could be describing locations on alien planets. * www.robinesrock.com *
This is a travel book like no other. Expect to find brief, but compelling descriptions of each location, unusual maps, and interesting photography. * Best Vacations Journal *
