This extraordinary collection perfectly portrays the architectural, geographic and historical significance of ruins that are considered world wonders and also little known gems. Included are monumental temples of Mexico&#8217;s Mayan civilization, a Colonial era palace on the island of Haiti, earthquake-ravaged cathedrals in Guatemala, and astonishing Incan citadels in Peru&#8217;s Sacred Valley &#8211; culminating with the breathtaking beauty of Machu Picchu. \n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div>This unprecedented publication transports the reader on a journey to ancient temples, abandoned palaces and lofty citadels. Evocative and enlightening, <i>Lost Worlds<\/i> will stir the imagination of those with a passion for photography, travel, history, architecture, and archaeology. Shot in infra red format on a specially adapted digital camera, these images expose crumbling, overgrown walls, broken columns, and cracked arches in ways most readers  have never seen. They will offer readers a new way of viewing the landscape as well as an enhanced vision of the collective identity of the Americas. Includes a foreword by noted travel writer Pico Iyer and text by Arthur Drooker explaining each site&#8217;s rise, fall and lasting significance.  Published to accompany a travelling exhibition in the USA opening at the Art Museum of the Americas in Washington, DC., and touring a further seven venues.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More than 100 large-format photographs depict extraordinary sites in South and Central American Mexico and the Caribbean<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":661,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5485],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-660","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-photography","7":"author-by-author-arthur-drooker","8":"author-introduction-by-pico-iyer","9":"publisher-acc-art-books","11":"first","12":"instock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Lost Worlds - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Lost Worlds, Pages: 160 Pages, Publish Date: 7th Oct 2011, Author: Arthur Drooker, Introduction by Pico Iyer, ISBN: 9781851496747.
