Meet Me In Atlantis: Across Three Continents In Search Of The Legendary Sunken City

A few years ago, Mark Adams made a strange discovery: Far from alien conspiracy theories and other pop culture myths, everything we know about the legendary lost city of Atlantis comes from the work of one man, the Greek philosopher Plato. Stranger still: Adams learned there is an entire global sub-culture of amateur explorers who are still actively and obsessively searching for this sunken city, based entirely on Plato s detailed clues. What Adams didn't realize was that Atlantis is kind of like a virus and he d been exposed. In 'Meet Me in Atlantis,' Adamsracks up frequent-flier miles tracking down these Atlantis obsessives, trying to determine why they believe it's possible to find the world's most famous lost city and whether any of their theories could prove or disprove its existence. The result is a classic quest that takes readers to fascinating locations to meet irresistible characters and a deep, often humorous look at the human longing to rediscover a lost world.
