Description
Secrets Of The World’s Most Extraordinary Places is your ticket to travel through six continents visiting some of the most captivating and intriguing destinations on the planet. Lift the veil on ancient mysteries, wonder at the grandeur of nature and learn all that these marvels have to tell us. You’ll explore the world’s historic treasures: Be amazed by the ingenuity of the Taj Mahal’s architects. Take a close look at the four minarets that surround the mausoleum. Each bends slightly away from the monument, so that the tomb cannot be damaged by an earthquake. You’ll discover lost civilisations and forgotten kingdoms: Gain new insights into Teotihuacan, the ‘birthplace of the gods’, once a great civilisation. You’ll journey through stunning landscapes forged by nature: Believe it or not, the geological history of the Earth can be read in the coloured layers of Colorado’s Grand Canyon where the river has sliced down 1.8 km to rocks that are 2 billion years old! More than a reference, the stunning photographs ensure this book is a worthy addition to any collection. It's your armchair journey to dream destinations!
