History, art and the best nightlife in Europe! Here's why Madrid is THE destination for a getaway to remember What are the wonders of the world? The Grand Canyon? The Hoover Dam? The Great Pyramid of Giza – the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world that survives today? Many lists of the wonders of the world have been compiled since ancient times, but they all have one thing in common: they fill us with awe. Apparently being in the same collection as the Ancient Egypt book I review recently, this one focus on the Wonders of the Worlds like the title says, but my pros and cons are exactly the same. It has decent information, very short, but decent. Unfortunately the pictures are not good, not in the angle, or the picture in itself, but in the quality of it. Were they too compress to fit the book, was it only for the digital version and on it ends up okay? I don't know, but as a digital copy, which I was provided, the result isn't good at all and unacceptable for this kind of book, which focus, mainly, on the photography! Will mainly a photography showcase, each photo does have a brief description of what the photo is, where it is located and a mini blurb about the photo. This is very useful to see how close some of these attractions are to each other, as well as how ancient some of Earths wonders are.

For example, did you know that the Dead Sea is 9.6 times saltier than the ocean? That the Great Barrier Reef supports 2195 plant species? Or that the Millau Viaduct in France is the tallest bridge in the world at 343m (1125ft)? How about that the Potala Palace in Tibet, where the Dalai Lama lived, has more than 1000 rooms and around 10,000 shrines?

Incredible footage shows two planes 'hanging in mid-air' over San Francisco in bizarre optical illusion Everyone will have their opinions about what is included and maybe even what isn't included, but these places are awe inspiring and deserve the recognition they receive here. Anyone who wants to display thee disingenuous faux intellect can do little childish riffs about dams or geysers, no one actually cares what such basement dwellers think anyway. Some of these places won't affect you the same way they affect someone else, that is neither a positive nor a negative, it is simply the difference between people. Live with it, or not, no one cares.

What are the wonders of the world? The Grand Canyon? The Hoover Dam? The Great Pyramid of Giza - the only one of the seven wonders of the ancient world that survives today? Many lists of the wonders of the world have been compiled since ancient times, but they all have one thing in common: they fill us with awe. The world's most stunning remote locations revealed in lavish photo book - from spellbinding Cornish beaches to a crooked forest in Denmark and jaw-dropping mountains in the U.S I was a little surprised that the pictures didn't seem to be as sharp as most of the books I have seen from this publisher, but it looked to me like it was a function of the digital format used rather than what will be in the final product, so I didn't judge harshly in that respect. Even with that slight flaw, the pictures are still impressive and will, no doubt, be spectacular when the final book is published. While this review copy was digital the physical books I have bought from this publisher has never let me down for quality, so I am confident recommending this book.
