Map -- Introduction -- Places of the mind -- Travelling -- Holidays -- Ruins -- The sublime -- Agriculture -- Infrastructure -- Cities -- History -- Gardens -- Space -- Conclusion.
The world is full of places that inspire and bring us joy: they might be exceptionally beautiful, resonant with history, untouched by civilisation or rich in memory. This is an atlas that gathers together some of the most enchanting and reinvigorating places around the world in order to heal and captivate, including beautiful destinations in Greece, Italy, Japan, America, Chile and Australia, to name but a few. We're taken to the tops of mountains, solitary cliffs, elegant cities and also some less expected locations: airports, hydroelectric stations and meteorite craters. A Therapeutic Atlas reminds us that the world is far broader and more inspiring than we tend to appreciate day to day. We locate places that are therapeutic because they coax us out of familiar patterns of thought and liberate our minds. This is a book that can be read when travelling, as a real-life atlas, but as importantly, when travel is difficult, it reminds us that there is no place like home and the sanctuary of our own bed.
