Description
pp. 160, b/w illustrations. “The rich and varied heritage of centuries, so quickly vanished, is preserved in this evocative photographic collection drawn from archives throughout Europe. The question of how to protect our natural and cultural resources while embracing inevitable change is one of the greatest challenges of our time. This volume underlines the importance of this challenge by exploring a diverse selection of individual fragments of the inestimable loss that has been visited on our manmade environment. ‘Lost Europe’ provides an enduring and uniquely atmospheric record of the ultimately fragile beauty of a continent’s heritage.”
