Photojournalist and travel writer Angus McDonald spent three years compiling INDIA'S DISAPPEARING RAILWAYS: an homage to the country he loved and in which he grew up and, as an adult, travelled and lived for eight years. His photographs and articles have appeared in leading publications worldwide and he is the author of The Five Foot Road: In Search of a Vanished China (Angus & Robertson) which documented his 1994 journey across China to Burma in the footsteps of George Ernest Morrison: 'Morrison of Peking'. Angus died suddenly whilst travelling in Burma in 2013, at the age of fifty.
