To The Ends of the Earth: A Grand Tour for the 21st Century | Richard Weller

 

This book takes the reader on a 21st century ‘Grand Tour’ of 120 of the most pertinent places in the world today. This grand tour is not about escaping reality, but confronting it. The places are divided into six chapters: Paradises, Utopias, Machines, Monsters, Ruins and Instruments.

They include: The Tesla Gigafactory in Nevada, Steve Jobs’ Apple Park in California, a national park in Costa Rica, the Green Wall in Central Africa and the border wall between Israel and Palestine.
