"This is no ordinary atlas. This is a guide to the legendary lands once sought by explorers, from the sunken kingdom of Atlantis to the treasure-filled temples of El Dorado. Within these pages you will discover lost cities, vanished islands, and fantastical places from folklore. Blending myth, history, fact, and fantasy, this will be a journey like no other -- one that will transport you to thoroughly otherworldly places."-- Back cover.
