Something wonderful

This a very enjoyable book that presents the subject matter in a very approachable way. Whilst a little light on detailed fact, it gives a very good overview of each subject area and discusses why any particular place is, or isn't worthy of inclusion in the list as one the Seven Wonders of the World. There is a good mix of data tables, colour plates, insert photos and appendices, all of which all help round out the subject matter. There are a number of biblical references interspersed in the text that give it an unusual slant for a travel book, but add a little interest and purpose to the topics.All in all a very enjoyable book that I would highly recommended and it certainly wetted my appetite to know a lot more about the subject areas of the Wonders of our World.
