Description

The lifeless moonscape of Canada’s oil sand strip mines.A vast vortex of plastic floating endlessly around the Pacific.An eerie abandoned town square in a radioactive Ukrainian wilderness.These are the places the tourist boards would rather you didn’t see. The places that don’t show up in any guide books. And the places that, six years ago, journalist and film-maker Andrew Blackwell set out to explore. Visit Sunny Chernobyl is the wry, funny, sometimes poignant tale of his trip through the world’s most degraded environments.

This book is based on a simple but brilliant idea: to hang out in the most polluted and toxic places on the planet. Well it’s a brilliant idea for a book at any rate, if not a holiday

Other text

[Andrew Blackwell] has seen the worst we can do to ourselves, met the best of us trying to repair the damage, and discovered – mystifyingly at times – beauty in the planetary dark side
