Paperback, 320 pages
Published
United Kingdom, 7 June 2012

"The lifeless moonscape of Canada's oil sand strip mines. A vast vortex of plastic floating endlessly around the Pacific. An eerily abandoned town square in a radioactive Ukrainian wilderness. These are places the tourist boards would rather you didn't see. The places that don't show up in any guide books. And the places that, six years ago, journalist and film-maker Andrew Blackwell set out to explore. Visit Sunny Chernobyl is the wry, funny, sometimes poignant tale of his trip through the world's most degraded environments."

Promotional Information

"Nuclear exclusion zones, cities thick with smog, mid-Pacific islands of rubbish - it's the planet as you've never seen it before"

Reviews

"He has seen the worst we can do to ourselves, met the best of us trying to repair the damage, and discovered - mystifyingly, at times - beauty in the planetary dark side."
*The Times*

"A wise, witty travel adventure that packs a punch - and one of the most entertaining and informative books I've read in years. Visit Sunny Chernobyl is a joy to read and will make you think"
*Dan Rather*

"Andrew Blackwell is a wonderful tour guide to the least wonderful places on earth. His book is a riveting toxic adventure. But more than just entertaining, the book will teach you a lot about the environment and the future of our increasingly polluted world"
*A.J. Jacobs, author of Drop Dead Healthy*

"Andrew Blackwell takes eco-tourism into a whole new space. Visit Sunny Chernobyl is a darkly comic romp"
*Elizabeth Kolbert, staff writer at The New Yorker and author of Field Notes from a Catastrophe*

"We've got lessons to learn from disaster sites. Thankfully, Visit Sunny Chernobyl means we don't have to learn them first-hand. Cancel your holiday to Chernobyl: Pick up this brilliant book!"
*The Yes Men*
