Summary
These superb images—showcased in the appealing, tactile CubeBook format—spotlight instantly recognizable monuments such as The Great Pyramid of Giza, The Statue of Liberty, Mount Rushmore, and Stonehenge, as well as introduce less iconic but equally remarkable structures such as The Catacombs of Kom el Shoqafa, The Porcelain Tower of Nanjing, and The Throne Hall of Persepolis. In addition to highlighting some of humankind’s most exceptional engineering and architectural achievements such as The Golden Gate Bridge and The Taj Mahal, these color-drenched images also bring to life the incomparable beauty and diversity of such natural phenomena as the Belize Barrier Reef, Mount Fuji, Victoria Falls, and The Grand Canyon. The photographs linger on each landscape, depicting the unique qualities that make each of these places a true wonder.
