Endangered Sites
Always wanted a list of the 500 places you should see before they disappear? Frommer has compiled it in "Frommer's 500 Places To See Before They Disappear" ($19.99). The book features natural and historic sites, from ancient places of worship, to disappearing landscapes, to one-of-a-kind cultural treasures like Boston's Fenway Park, one of America's last original ballparks. The list includes Fraser Island, Australia, made entirely of sand and threatened by rising sea levels; the Grove of Osun-Osogbo, a sacred primeval forest in Nigeria and UNESCO heritage site and the Dead Sea in Israel, where water levels have been dropping.<div class="feedflare">
