Pleasure of Ruins
Book Description
The book presents photographs from important archaeological sites around the world accompanied by narratives about them. The narratives make history come alive by weaving together facts, speculation, gossip, and the history of their discovery by indomitable adventurers. Unfortunately, without intending to do so, the narratives also demonstrate the ignorance of and contempt for other cultures and races that many held.They demonstrate the journey that people have made and the journey that remains.
