np (52pp), 34 color illustrations. This is John Darwell's compact photo-essay documenting the Chernobyl Nuclear Reactors' "Zones of Exclusion": the permanently evacuated area surrounding the 1986 Russian Nuclear Power Plant disaster. It provides a haunting and eerily beautiful glimpse of the thirty kilometer wasteland where no man can now go - and is the perfect compliment to Robert Polidori's oversized volume on the same subject. A brand new, pristine example. Seller Inventory # 015883

About this title

Synopsis:

A chilling and unforgettable reminder of our nuclear heritage.

Synopsis:

Imagine! The sun is shining, the weather hot. It's a beautiful, almost perfect day! You drive for hours along endless roads surrounded by rich forests, past affluent looking farms, quaint villages and even cities. Everywhere is peace and quiet. But then you notice the emptiness - no animals in the fields, no children playing, no-one anywhere. Everyone has gone - removed by government decree - to escape an invisible yet deadly presence. This is the exclusion zone around Chernobyl - a thirty kilometre area surrounding the site of the world's worst nuclear accident. This is Legacy - a chilling and unforgettable reminder of our nuclear heritage.
