Книга: «100 Great Wonders of the World»
|
Enigmatic megaliths such as Stonehenge in England and the Easter Island statues in the Pacific invite conjecture but have yet to yield their age-old secrets. Exquisite edifices, like St. Peter's in Rome, rub shoulders with the stark lines of the Great Pyramid at Giza. Engineering feats - such as the Trans-Siberian, the longest railway in the world - are included, alongside natural phenomena such as the Florida Everglades, the vast Sahara Desert and the active volcanoes of Antarctica. Listed by continent, each entry features information panels and key facts and is beautifully illustrated. Special features on topics such as Great Civilizations and Great Landscapes provide a further insight into some of the most extraordinary wonders of the world. Bringing together the best from across the globe, this 1 volume is a fascinating read, a useful reference, and a tantalizing invitation to find out more.
