Reviews
"Genuinely exciting . . . beautifully written . . . [a] winningly obsessive history of our relationship with underground places [that has] the narrative drive of adventure stories." -- The Guardian "Provocative and satisfying. A book can often have its greatest impact by rethinking familiar terrain, forcing readers to reconsider their entrenched preconceptions. Will Hunt taps in to our deep fascination with what lies beneath the surface of things by exploring, quite literally, what's going on beneath the surface. By the end of your excursion through Underground , you may never look at a hole in the ground in quite the same way again." -- New York Times Book Review "Dynamic and engaging . . . [Hunt's] clear excitement about this information is contagious. . . . Underground is a thoughtful, inquisitive book. Hunt approaches the subject with an unusual dedication and open-mindedness that is difficult to resist. . . . These traits, alongside the striking photography that appears throughout the book, makes Hunt's debut an admirable and successful one." --NPR "It's Hunt's deeply personal connection to [the underground] that enlivens this endlessly fascinating book." -- The Toronto Star "Caves, catacombs, and tunnels come alive in this unusual guide to the surprising marvels and mysteries below us. . . . Hunt, who was first drawn underground as a curious child, finds plenty to appreciate, including ancient and modern artworks, signs of life's beginnings on earth, and a sense of the transcendent." -- Christian Science Monitor "An unusual and intriguing travel book . . . Without belaboring the point, Hunt alludes to conjecture that all of life might have started underground, that it retains a revelatory diversity, and that the level below the Earth could be a womb as well as a tomb. Ultimately, he compellingly examines 'how much of our existence remains in mystery, how much of reality continues to elude us, and how much deeper our world runs beyond what we know.' A vivid illumination of the dark and an effective evocation of its profound mystery." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "A fascinating journey that transcends culture and time, linking modern and ancient practices to create a colorful mosaic. . . . [Hunt's] excitement at traveling beneath the earth is infectious . . . a lively, informative read that nicely balances adventure with anthropology and science." --Shelf Awareness " As Hunt's journey progresses, you get the sense these forays are about more than just an adrenaline rush. What Hunt is really chasing, through the muck and darkness and stench and clammy cold, is a story of shared humanity." -- Vice "A thoughtful and often romantic examination of humanity's relationship to underground spaces. . . . This is no travel guide, but a historical and philosophical examination the dual nature of what's beneath us: since the birth of civilization, the underground has been a subject of fascination and fear, a symbol of birth and of death, of deprivation and of abundance, for the humans who walk above it. It remains a mystery, but this book brings us a little closer to illuminating the darkness." -- Lit Hub, "An unusual and intriguing travel book, into the world beneath the world we know. In his debut, [Will] Hunt begins modestly before revealing larger ambitions. His obsession with the underground started with an abandoned train tunnel he explored as a teenager, and his fascination would ultimately lead him through underground passageways of Paris and New York City, Aboriginal mines of Australia, and other wondrous places. . . . As Hunt reveals the scientific, historic, literary, psychological, spiritual, and metaphorical qualities of his exploration, it begins to seem less idiosyncratic than universal, a pull that has persisted throughout civilization and a mystery that has yet to be solved. The underground may represent hell to some, but it has also provided spiritual solace for centuries. . . . A vivid illumination of the dark and an effective evocation of its profound mystery." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "What is it about that unseen world beneath our feet that both calls to us and repels us at the same time? Are there secrets just beyond a rusted 'No Trespassing' sign? Why do some of us seek to unseal the catacombs of the dead? In Underground, Will Hunt explores the subterranean world in all of its historic and psychological grandeur. This tour de force just might make you want to pull on a pair of rubber boots and strap on a headlamp to get a peek at the places we've forgotten." --Scott Carney, New York Times bestselling author of What Doesn't Kill Us, "Provocative and satisfying . . . Will Hunt taps into our deep fascination with what lies beneath the surface of things by exploring, quite literally, what's going on beneath the surface. . . . By the end of your excursion through Underground . . . you may never look at a hole in the ground in quite the same way again." -- The New York Times Book Review "Dynamic and engaging . . .

A vivid illumination of the dark and an effective evocation of its profound mystery." -- Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "Few books have blown my mind so totally, and so often. In Will Hunt's nimble hands, excursion becomes inversion, and the darkness turns luminous. There are echoes of Sebald, Calvino, and Herzog in his elegant and enigmatic voice, but also real warmth and humor. . . . An intrepid--but far from fearless--journey, both theoretically and terrestrially." --Robert Moor, New York Times bestselling author of On Trails "What is it about that unseen world beneath our feet that both calls to us and repels us at the same time? Are there secrets just beyond a rusted 'No Trespassing' sign? Why do some of us seek to unseal the catacombs of the dead? In Underground, Will Hunt explores the subterranean world in all of its historic and psychological grandeur. This tour de force just might make you want to pull on a pair of rubber boots and strap on a headlamp to get a peek at the places we've forgotten." --Scott Carney, New York Times bestselling author of What Doesn't Kill Us "Will Hunt's Underground left me, for days, wanting to go there--down, down, down, into the moisture and the mystery. It succeeds as reportage, as memoir, as historical survey, and as philosophical reflection. Hunt is a generous and literate mole-man, beckoning us always to look lower." --Ted Conover, author of Newjack "Will Hunt has pulled off a stunning feat of reportorial magic with this book. He has taken what may be our worst fear--being underground, where many of us will spend eternity--and transformed it into a mesmerizingly fascinating tale, one astonishing adventure after another. I could not stop reading this beautifully written book."-- Michael Finkel, author of The Stranger in the Woods "Underground is a revelation. A fearless, eloquent, and truly insightful guide, Will Hunt takes us through the hidden worlds beneath our feet, from guerrilla art galleries to ancient sacred chambers to lost worlds inhabited by lost souls. Along the way, Hunt initiates us into a suite of subterranean mysteries that span geography, culture, and time, awakening the dormant but profound allure the underworld holds for us and, as he so persuasively demonstrates, for all of humankind." --John Vaillant, author of The Tiger "As a sunlight-craving claustrophobe, I'm not normally drawn to sewers or mine shafts plunged a mile into the earth, but Will Hunt is an irresistible guide. I followed Underground 's global tour of subterranean cultures with astonishment and joy, happy to meet a cast of cataphiles, compulsive diggers, ochre priests, spelunkers, and various seekers of the dark. I will never look at a hole in the ground in quite the same way again."-- Justin Davidson, author of Magnetic City and architecture critic of New York "Always entertaining . . . This brisk work, rife with intriguing characters and little-known traditions and communities, will leave many readers wanting to dig deeper into the worlds hiding beneath their feet." -- Publishers Weekly, "Provocative and satisfying . . . Will Hunt taps into our deep fascination with what lies beneath the surface of things by exploring, quite literally, what's going on beneath the surface. . . . By the end of your excursion through Underground . . . you may never look at a hole in the ground in quite the same way again." -- The New York Times Book Review "Dynamic and engaging . . .

Synopsis
"[A] winningly obsessive history of our relationship with underground places" ( The Guardian ), from sacred caves and derelict subway stations to nuclear bunkers and ancient underground cities--an exploration of the history, science, architecture, and mythology of the worlds beneath our feet NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY NPR When Will Hunt was sixteen years old, he discovered an abandoned tunnel that ran beneath his house in Providence, Rhode Island. His first tunnel trips inspired a lifelong fascination with exploring underground worlds, from the derelict subway stations and sewers of New York City to sacred caves, catacombs, tombs, bunkers, and ancient underground cities in more than twenty countries around the world. Underground is both a personal exploration of Hunt's obsession and a panoramic study of how we are all connected to the underground, how caves and other dark hollows have frightened and enchanted us through the ages. In a narrative spanning continents and epochs, Hunt follows a cast of subterraneaphiles who have dedicated themselves to investigating underground worlds. He tracks the origins of life with a team of NASA microbiologists a mile beneath the Black Hills, camps out for three days with urban explorers in the catacombs and sewers of Paris, descends with an Aboriginal family into a 35,000-year-old mine in the Australian outback, and glimpses a sacred sculpture molded by Paleolithic artists in the depths of a cave in the Pyrenees. Each adventure is woven with findings in mythology and anthropology, natural history and neuroscience, literature and philosophy. In elegant and graceful prose, Hunt cures us of our "surface chauvinism," opening our eyes to the planet's hidden dimension. He reveals how the subterranean landscape gave shape to our most basic beliefs and guided how we think about ourselves as humans. At bottom, Underground is a meditation on the allure of darkness, the power of mystery, and our eternal desire to connect with what we cannot see.

- h***2 (1186)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufThe book arrived swiftly packaged in a protective plastic envelope, but it was a paperback not hardcover as listed. I contacted seller and they apologized, refunded me and suggested several things to do with the book after allowing me to keep it. I have gone ahead and ordered a hardcover from the same seller. I’m a repeat customer and hope to remain so. This mixup was a first, but I’m very impressed with their prompt response and professionalism. Kudos :)
- e***7 (883)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufMy complaint about large book sellers is they don’t securely package their books, and this was no exception. I sell books on eBay and when I do they are usually wrapped in bubble wrap and then with paper bags I obtain from stores and then I use good tape. I get lots of positive reviews for my secure wrapping. This book arrived in thin plastic with no padding. Yes, this was a good price, arrived quickly, and as listed . You get break on postage, use some of that savings for better packaging
