Ghost Towns

Meer over het boek

A lifeless village in Turkey where the houses are crumbling and the streets are empty; an abandoned island in southern Japan; homes left under a blanket of volcanic ash in Chile; a deserted new town in Spain where construction sites are neglected and houses remain unsold. Where has everyone gone? And why aren't they coming back? From former gold rush towns to settlements evacuated because of natural disasters or chemical spills and from communities caught up in war zones to deserted whaling stations, fishing villages, ports and mines, GHOST TOWNS tells, in 160 striking images, the stories behind these desolate images."--Back cover
