Abandoned places : 60 stories of places where time stopped by Richard Harper
We think of abandoned places as historical sites, this book dispels that idea. The type and range of abandoned places in this book are varied and compelling. Hurricane Katrina left a Six Flag Jazzland amusement park underwater and unstable,Tyneham was a compulsory land/village purchase so the army could test it's tanks, Tampico a city of continual gang warfare is in the process of dying.
This book fascinated me.
