This atlas of some of the world’s greatest architectural, cultural, and natural sites begins with a summary of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World and a discussion of UNESCO’s current criteria for naming a particular location a World Heritage site, and goes on to describe some of the most truly awe-inspiring places on Earth. From well-known monuments and landmarks such as the Great Wall of China and the Statue of Liberty to less famous locations such as the Buddhist monument of Borobudur in Indonesia and the town of Levoca in Slovakia, sites on six continents are examined. An exhaustive list of hundreds of other sites—organized by country—that are not explored in detail in the book is also included.
