50 Wonders of the World: The Greatest Man-made Constructions from the Pyramids of Giza to the Golden Gate Bridge Hardcover – June 1, 2011

This is one of the most extraordinary books I've ever encountered. Lavishly illustrated and beautifully written by an explorer/documentary filmmaker who has actually been to most, if not all of these incredible man-made places, some multiple times. Seeing these places renews one's faith in the human race and also clearly shows that craftsmanship and a grand vision are an ancient arts. One of the best non-fiction books I've ever seen in a lifetime of book loving and a short career as a Librarian. It originally sold for 50 pounds upon its original 2009 U.K. publication. Five stars are five too few for a book this incredible!John Lomax III

A fascinating coffee table book. I purchased this one as a gift since I already owned one and the recipient has received numerous comments on how nice the book is. A great way to mentally travel to some of the most awesome wonders of the world. Having visited at least six of the locations depicted in the book, I am inspired to see as many more of them in person as possible. This book is a great way to see more of the great wonders of the world through the fantastic photography without leaving the comfort of your home.

Great read, Perfect for the coffee table

This is one hell of a book in both physical size and information. Fabulous photographs and detailed information that is totally user friendly. My children have spent hours looking at it. Excellent value for money and a source of pleasure for many years to come.

This is essentially a large picture book with some facts. A couple of facts weren't quite correct - possible typos. But in essence it's a good coffee-table browse.
