I will be adapting material in this book for lessons with my students, as well as giving it as a gift to my young friends with wanderlust. New York Times Inspiring equal parts wonder and wanderlust, Atlas Obscura is a phenomenon of a travel book that shot to the top of bestseller lists when it was first published and changed the way we think about the world, expanding our sense of how strange and marvelous it really is. Unless you are so dreadfully boring that organizing your toothpick collection while listening to your white noise machine is your version of a rockin' Friday night I'm pretty sure any one who crack's it's cover will find something to love in Atlas Obscura: An Explorer's Guide to the World's Hidden Wonders. We’ve added more than 100 unusual places as well as new features, such as a fold-out map of a “dream” around-the-world journey and 12 city guides for destinations including Buenos Aires, Cairo, and Los Angeles.

Besonders gelungen ist auch, dass sogar die geografischen Koordinaten der verschiedenen Orte angegeben werden.The book showcases 50 combined countries and states, featuring 2-3 exhibitions awaiting there to intrigue young adventurers. This month, we’re excited to announce the release of Atlas Obscura, 2nd Edition: An Explorer’s Guide to the World’s Hidden Wonders. Crammed fore-to-aft with "the world's hidden wonders," this collaboration by Joshua Foer, Dylan Thuras and Ella Morton features mesmerizing photos, maps, drawings, info and addresses. For curious kids, this is the chance to embark on the journey of a lifetime—and see how faraway countries have more in common than you might expect! But, alas, I have a stack of books I need to read, and a class in which I am participating, so I wasn't able to finish this amazing book.

It rocketed to the top of bestseller lists and has over 626,000 copies in print since its publication in late 2016.

It’s the sort of book that you will want to read with a torch under the bed covers, sprawled out in a treehouse, curled up in a window seat on a winter's afternoon or on the grass underneath the shade of a tree. Daraufhin folgt der Reiseplan oder auch die Inhaltsangabe, so kann man, wenn man möchte auch einzelne Länder überspringen und behält einen guten Überblick. The majority of pages are undamaged with some creasing or tearing, and pencil underlining of text, but this is minimal. Illustrated in gorgeous and appropriately evocative full-color art, this book is a passport to a world of hidden possibilities. Unlike most tour guides of this type, there are very few of the type that would be ones you would select to go to on a regularly planned vacation.
