A great overview

This book is a great overview of lost cities without getting too deep into any one culture. It covers Macchu Pichu and Chichen Itza of course, but it also cover a few in Ceylon (Sri Lanka) and the Middle East. The regions it seems to have left out is the Far East and Pacific countries, which is a shame as the book is only 224 pages. It could easily have been expanded to 300 pages and maintained my interest. Each culture only covers 30 pages at most so if you're familiar with the story you can quickly skip to the next section. The book contains approximately 10 pages of black and white pictures and etchings as well.
