Wonders of the World by Karin Gutman

Product Details

Synopsis

From the pyramids of ancient Egypt, up to the Matterhorn in the Alps, and across to the Arctic regions, this book takes you on an armchair journey to some of the world’s most impressive sights, both natural and man-made.

Breathtaking photographs capture those familiar but always fascinating examples of nature’s delicacy and drama: the subtly changing colors of the Northern Lights, the mammoth scale and grandeur of the Grand Canyon and Machu Picchu, the aridity of Uluru (Ayers Rock) and the immensity of the Great Barrier Reef in Australia.

But it’s not only Nature whose handiwork is on display. Here we can ponder and admire once again such ancient marvels of construction as Stonehenge and the pyramids—while gazing in equal wonder at the genius and spirit behind contemporary engineering and building feats.

What better way to embark on a tour of these extraordinary sites—among the most eyecatching, heart-stopping in the world—than through the remarkable record of these pages?
