Discover and explore the most incredible statues, monuments,
temples, bridges, and ancient cities with this unparalleled survey
of the most famous buildings and structures created by humans. From
Stonehenge to the Sagrada Familia, from the Great Wall of China to
the Burj Khalifa, Manmade Wonders of the Worldplots a
continent-by-continent journey around the world, exploring and
charting the ingenuity and imagination used by different cultures
to create iconic buildings. This truly global approach reveals how
humans have tackled similar challenges - such as keeping the enemy
out or venerating their gods - in vastly different parts of the
world. As writer, historian, and broadcaster Dan Cruickshank writes
in his foreword, "reading this book is like taking a journey
through the world not only of the present but also of the past,
because the roots of many wonders lie in antiquity." By combining
breathtaking photography with 3D cutaway artworks, floorplans, and
other illustrations, the hidden details and engineering innovations
that make each building remarkable are revealed. Featuring the most
visited monuments in the world - such as the Eiffel Tower, Taj
Mahal, and Machu Picchu - as well as some hidden gems, Manmade
Wonders of the World can help you to map out the trip of a lifetime
or simply be enjoyed as a celebration of the world that humans have
built over thousands of years.
