ATLAS OF UNTAMED PLACES: AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY THROUGH OUR WILD WORLD
Listen to the Big Blend Radio interview with Chris Fitch, author of “Atlas of Untamed Places: An Extraordinary Journey Through Our Wild World”.
Embark on an intrepid journey through fearsome landscapes, feral environments, and the untouched and inhospitable wildernesses that make up our unusual and wonderfully wild world. Travel through historic habitats, untouched lands and peculiar wild phenomena in this voyage to the world’s most weird and wonderful, captivating and curious wildernesses. Visit immensely diverse floral kingdoms, remote jungles abundant with exotic birds, and both freezing cold and scorching hot inhospitable environments.
Then venture to the extreme and the incredible: lightening inducing lakes, acidic mud baths, and man-eating tiger kingdoms, and to wildernesses being reclaimed by nature, such as Chernobyl, that after being left abandoned for years has returned to a natural wild habitat, free from human intervention.
Not forgetting those most bizarre of destinations, such as the tidal surges of the Qiantang River, the bridge to Modo Island that emerges from the sea, and the strange magnetic pull of Jubuka rock. This is a travel book like no other! With 45 unique and beautiful maps and stunning photography, it’s an intrepid voyage to nature’s most unusual, unpredictable, and extraordinarily wild places on the planet.
ATLAS OF UNTAMED PLACES is an intrepid journey through nature’s most unusual, wild, feral, and extraordinary places. Readers will discover everything from ancient, protected zones, to the inhabitable and unimaginable.
