A wonderful book, this actually helped inspire my own research. If you love abandoned places, or are interested in efforts to recapture/preserve the past, this is the book for you. Subjects covered range from faux-ruin gardens created on English estates to the matter of what to do with the ruins the resulted from the World Wars. I only wish it were longer! Well-chosen pictures show the ruins Woodward is talking about. Primarily concerned with Britain and Europe.
