Meet Me In Atlantis: My Obsessive Quest To Find the Sunken City

Adams (Turn Right at Machu Picchu; Mr. America) has created an exciting slant on the age-old search for the lost civilization of Atlantis by focusing on the myriad personalities who have made the search their lifelong passion and ambition. He deftly weaves the personality and knowledge of Greek philosopher Plato into his travelog-style examination of current and past figures who have trekked the globe on their quest. The reader is introduced to the persona of each researcher; their methods, theories, and reasons for believing they have the most appropriate and logical interpretation of Plato's testament for the existence and location of the missing society. Enough evidence of each interpretation is presented to enable the reader to follow the logic or fallibility of the individual investigator and their theories. For Adams, the search for Atlantis becomes a personal adventure and makes for a compelling account.
