Read this book

Although I paged this book through, I was kind of interested in this book. What interested me the most from it, was the fact that some of these are monuments that are being often overlooked to a point of endangerement(like the title specifies). Buy it and read it, and you'll be amazed too, at what you'll learn as well.
