Atlas of Untamed Places: An extraordinary journey through our wild world (Unexpected Atlases) Review: Very Well Done - I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author describes certain monumental events, of which most are familiar. Then there are those somewhat less familiar but also as important. Well done Chris Fitch. Keep researching and writing. Review: A collection of global snapshots that are as fascinating as they are incredible - Abandoned ruins, strange places, and natural beauty. These are things I live for, the geography of my bucket list. Chris Fitch clearly shares that passion, with Untamed: An Atlas of Wild Places the perfect first volume in that. A collection of global snapshots that are as fascinating as they are incredible, this is not the kind of book you sit down and devour over the course of an evening. Instead, it is something you leave sitting on that proverbial coffee table, a book to be sampled, shared, and appreciated. The Atlas is divided into six sections - Extreme Environments, Untouched Lands, Human Activity, Weird Worlds, Isolated Realms, and Nature's Wilderness. Each features 6-8 short articles of a few pages each illustrated by photographs and (more importantly) detailed maps. Human Activity set the bar high for abandoned ruins. Here we find details of Chernobyl that are almost unfathomable, such as the fact that the process of decomposition has ceased to operate, and walk through a town in Pennsylvania that has been burning since 1962, although it took the collapse of a 100-foot deep sinkhole to finally begin its abandonment nearly 20 years later. In terms of strange places, Extreme Environments was easily my favorite. Where else can you find shipwrecks a few hundred yards into the desert, toxic gas spewing lakes, and a cave full of massive 36-foot crystals? As for natural beauty, it's hard to choose between Untouched Lands (which tell of a cave beneath Vietnam that is not only large enough for a jumbo jet, but which has its own weather system) and Weird Worlds (with a lake in Venezuela that receives 1.2 million lightning strikes each year). Honestly, Untamed: An Atlas of Wild Places could be ten times as long and I would still want more, but as first volumes of a bucket list go, it's a great start. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,059,374 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #328 in World Atlases & Maps (Books) #1,223 in Human Geography (Books) #1,892 in Maps (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (68) | | Dimensions | 7.65 x 1 x 10.5 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1781316775 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1781316771 | | Item Weight | 2.12 pounds | | Language | English | | Part of series | Unexpected Atlases | | Print length | 208 pages | | Publication date | September 28, 2017 | | Publisher | Aurum Press | ## Images ![Atlas of Untamed Places: An extraordinary journey through our wild world (Unexpected Atlases) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cgfB8ztkL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Well Done *by S***S on November 10, 2023* I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Maybe not as many pictures or illustrations but full of interesting data for the keen young/ not so young traveller ; perhaps a traveller's rather than a tourists book. Bought as a present for a Godchild who I think will make the most of it to generate her thoughts and adventures. Exquisite book - excellent product & customer delivery & service too! ## Frequently Bought Together - Atlas of Untamed Places: An extraordinary journey through our wild world (Unexpected Atlases) - Atlas of Improbable Places: A Journey to the World's Most Unusual Corners (Unexpected Atlases) - Atlas of the Unexpected: Haphazard discoveries, chance places and unimaginable destinations (Unexpected Atlases) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/53174783-atlas-of-untamed-places-an-extraordinary-journey-through-our-wild](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/53174783-atlas-of-untamed-places-an-extraordinary-journey-through-our-wild) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
