Duncan J. D. Smith

    Duncan J. D. Smith, noto come The Urban Explorer, viaggia fuori dai sentieri battuti per scoprire gli angoli nascosti e le località curiose del mondo. Le sue guide distintive sono realizzate per immergere i lettori nei luoghi e nelle persone insolite che ha scoperto in quattro continenti. Con un profondo affetto per i luoghi di cui scrive e un vasto archivio fotografico, Smith offre ai lettori uno sguardo avvincente su aspetti meno conosciuti della storia e della cultura. Il suo lavoro nasce da un fascino durato una vita per la storia e l'archeologia, acceso in gioventù.
