When James A. Anderson learned about the "New 7 Wonders of the
World," he resolved to visit the two remaining sites he had not yet
seen. Now, he shares a lifetime of globetrotting and living in
faraway places in this collection of enthralling travel essays.
The journey begins in 1970 in East Africa. Anderson's adventure
takes him to Egypt's Pyramids at Giza, a site that holds special
status as the only intact survivor of the Seven Wonders of the
Ancient World.
Anderson then describes journeys that take him to the seven
modern wonders, beginning with a trip to South America and Machu
Picchu. Chapters cover Brazil, home to Christ the Redeemer; Italy,
with the Colosseum; and China, with its Great Wall. A visit to the
ancient city of Petra occurs during a tour of the Middle East, and
Anderson's pilgrimages to the Taj Mahal and Chichen Itza also
involve travel to interesting locations in the surrounding
regions.
Enthralling personal travel adventures are injected with
fascinating discussions about the culture, history, politics,
religion, food, and geography of different areas. Light-hearted,
often humorous, and always thought-provoking, "To the New 7 Wonders
of the World" is travel writing at its best.
