Islands of Abandonment: Life in the Post-Human Landscape

On an uninhabited Scottish island, feral cattle live entirely wild. In Detroit, once America´s fourth-largest city, entire streets of houses are falling in on themselves, looters slipping through otherwise silent neighbourhoods. This book explores the extraordinary places where humans no longer live - or survive in tiny, precarious numbers - to give us a possible glimpse of what happens when mankind´s impact on nature is forced to stop.
