<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Originally published in hardcover in 2012.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>For most of us, traveling means visiting the most beautiful places on Earth--Paris, the Taj Mahal, the Grand Canyon. It's rare to book a plane ticket to visit the lifeless moonscape of Canada's oil sand strip mines, or to set sail for the Great Pacific Garbage Patch. But in <i>Visit Sunny Chernobyl, </i>Andrew Blackwell embraces a different kind of travel, taking a jaunt through the most gruesomely polluted places on Earth. <p/><i>Visit Sunny Chernobyl</i> fuses immersive first-person reporting with satire and analysis, making the case that it's time to start appreciating our planet as-is--not as we wish it to be. Equal parts travelogue, expose environmental memoir, and faux guidebook, Blackwell careens through a rogue's gallery of environmental disaster areas in search of the worst the world has to offer--and approaches a deeper understanding of what's really happening to our planet in the process.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A darkly comic romp." --<i>Elizabeth Kolbert, staff writer, The New Yorker</i> <p/>"An environmentalist book that avoids the usual hyperventilation, upending stubborn myths with prosaic facts . . . Blackwell is a smart and often funny writer." --<i>Wall Street Journal</i> <p/>"Witty and disturbing . . . Call this the anti-guide book." --<i>New York Post Required Reading</i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>ANDREW BLACKWELL is a journalist and filmmaker. He is a 2011 Fellow in Nonfiction Literature from the New York Foundation of the Arts. <i>Visit Sunny Chernobyl </i>is his first book. He lives in New York City.
