Summary: "An exploration of the history, science, architecture, and mythology of the subterranean landscape and our relationship with the worlds beneath our feet--for fans of quirky, obsessive narrative histories, such as Confederates in the Attic and How Things Work. Will Hunt is an urban adventurer who has explored caves and catacombs, subway systems, ghostly mines, and all varieties of holes in the ground. He's tracked down people who, for one reason or another, have shared his underground fixation, each an incarnation of Hermes, who could see and touch the underworld in ways others could not."-- Provided by publisher.
