1001 Natural Wonders: You Must See Before You Die

Picturesque and succinct verbiage to carry you to far away places and back to plan a road trip or flight and see natural splendor. Substantive and inexpensive.

Some of the world's leading explorers lend their contributions and advice to the extensive travel reference 1001 NATURAL WONDERS YOU MUST SEE BEFORE YOU DIE, which holds very nearly 1,000 pages packed with photos and descriptions of such wonders. From Loch Ness in Scotland to Lake Natron in Tanzania or Daisetsu in Japan, the world's wilderness places are all under one cover, with extensive descriptions charting why they stand out. While some of these places pepper other books, no other coverage is so extensive - or so well laid out, blending modern color photos with cultural and natural insights. Very highly recommended indeed; way above any other 'natural wonders' guides, and perfect for both armchair travelers and travel planners alike.

We found the facinating, with places we never knew existed. An atlas of we you would love to go. Presentaion and place descriptions are first class.

Bought as a Christmas Gift for our family. The book is printed on high quality glossy photo paper with maybe more than 400 gallery-quality photos of the wonders around the world. Many are truely breathtaking. I was tempted to read it from cover to cover at the begining and it soon proved to be a daunting task to cover the 900+ pages. So I was content to flip from page to page glancing at the photos and occasionally read the descriptions, which are simple and to the point. This is truely a wonderful book to own. I'd keep it close at hand on a coffee table or a bed-side table and once a while pick it up and let myself wander among the wonders.

buy this book! quality book, full of breathtaking photos of incredible places around the world. whether you are a dreamer, traveler or adventure seeker, you will love this book. i purchased it as a gift but am keeping it for myself and ordering another one.
