Underground: A Human History Of The Worlds Beneath Our Feet

"Space, the unknown above, is a subject of fascination for millions of people. In Underground, Will Hunt demonstrates that a world nearly as exciting is just below our feet. He takes readers through tunnels under Paris, into the world’s oldest mine on aboriginal land in Australia – and beyond. Perhaps the book’s best feature is how seriously Hunt takes his responsibility to reckon with the history of each place he visits. It’s also full of beautiful pictures. There’s plenty for those who are brave enough to adventure on their own and those, like me, who would prefer to read about someone else doing it instead."
