The 2014 Olympics may have come and gone, but I'm already looking forward to Rio. There's just something special about the Olympics. For two weeks countries come together, athletes other than Tom Brady are the center of attention, and I pretend to learn a thing or two about hockey and soccer. What could be better? Well, this book, for one. Jon Pack and Gary Hustwit have put together an incredible compilation of photographs showing Olympic cities after the the glitz and glamour have subsided. What remains is a truly remarkable- some cities have thrived, but others have sunk to near ruin. I highly recommend this book for any historian, Olympic fan, or architecture guru. There are very limited copies remaining, so snag yours before Bruce Jenner's transformation is complete soon! You might not have much time.
