These left - over structures still hold memories of the life that was once there. Transience was built in from the start. When a mine was worked out it was abandoned; sometimes its machinery was removed to another mine but often it was easier to equip the new place with more up - to - date equipment. Abandoned Industrial Places explores the discarded detritus of our modern mechanized age. Discover the grand Ore Dock in Marquette US a squatting isolated in the waters of Lake Superior; or the abandoned Caspian Sea oil rigs and drilling gear in Azerbaijan; or the enormous gaping pit of the 1200m (3900ft) wide Mirny diamond mine in Sakha Republic Russia; or the 700m (765yd) high wall of latticed steel towers of the Duga radar in Chernobyl Ukraine; or the Domino Sugar Refinery Brooklyn New York formerly the world's largest sugar refinery when built in 1882; or the still contaminated Fisher Body Plant 21 in Detroit US a a place where General Motors created some of their great marques for almost a hundred years. Filled with more than 200 memorable photographs from every part of the planet Abandoned Industrial Places provides a strange and often spooky insight into the life and workings of industries long since ceased.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Abandoned Industrial Places Factories Laboratories Mills And Mines That The World Left Behind\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Ross David\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Amber Books Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781782749844\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 224 Pages, 200 Photos; 200 Illustrations, Unspecified\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/14\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Abandoned\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Industrialisation \u0026amp; Industrial History","brand":"Ross David","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51637544059185,"sku":"IN-G-9781782749844","price":23.43,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781782749844.jpg?v=1752588136","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781782749844-abandoned-industrial-places-factories-laboratories-mills-and-mines-that-the-world-left-behind","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
