Bradley L. Garrett Libri

Verbotene und gefährliche Orte zu erforschen, ist die Spezialität von Bradley Garrett. Zusammen mit gleichgesinnten Abenteurern von der London Consolidation Crew (LCC) präsentiert er in London Rising einmalig schöne Stadtansichten aber auch haarsträubende Aufnahmen seiner Crewmitglieder beim waghalsigen und natürlich illegalen Besteigen von Wolkenkratzern wie dem Shard, Gherkin oder Walkie-Talkie und anderer ikonischer Bauwerke darunter das British Museum oder die St. Pauls Kathedrale. In den einzelnen Kapiteln werden verschiedene Orte vorgestellt: Industrie-, Firmen- und öffentliche Gebäude, daneben verlassene, zerstörte oder noch nicht fertiggestellte Hochhäuser. Gezeigt werden beängstigende und gleichzeitig atemberaubende, nie zuvor gesehene Aufnahmen aus Perspektiven, die nur ganz Wenige freiwillig wagen würden. Der Nervenkitzel ist bei diesem Buch garantiert!

This collection of extraordinary images from beneath London's streets will fascinate anyone interested in what lies under the surface of one of the world's greatest cities. Peel back the layers under a London street and you'll discover a haunting, dreamlike world of hand-laid brick sewers, forgotten tube stations, World War II evacuation shelters, secret government bunkers, and tunnel boring machines laying new sewer, communication, and transport grids. Bradley L. Garrett has worked with explorers of subterranean London to collect an astonishing array of images documenting forbidden infiltrations into the secret bowels of the city. This book takes readers through progressively deeper levels of historical London architecture below the streets. Beautifully designed to allow for detailed viewing and featuring bespoke map illustrations by artist Stephen Walter, this unique book takes readers to locations few dare to go, and even fewer succeed in accessing.

Volatile and extraordinary ... a gonzo road trip. - Robert Macfarlane, Guardian

Today, the bunker has become the extreme expression of our greatest fears- from pandemics to climate change and nuclear war. And once you look, it doesn't take long to start seeing bunkers everywhere. In Bunker, acclaimed urban explorer and cultural geographer Bradley Garrett explores the global and rapidly growing movement of 'prepping' for social and environmental collapse, or 'Doomsday'. From the 'dread merchants' hustling safe spaces in the American mid-West to eco-fortresses in Thailand, from geoscrapers to armoured mobile bunkers, Bunker is a brilliant, original and never less than deeply disturbing story from the frontlines of the way we live now. The bunker, Garrett shows, is all around us- in malls, airports, gated communities, the vehicles we drive. Most of all, he shows, it's in our minds.

A photographed collection tours everyday cities from unique perspectives that explore scenic urban edges, forgotten tunnels, evocative skylines and other metropolitan vistas in regions ranging from London and Berlin to Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
