This is a beautiful book to look at. There is a nice selection of places around the world. The places and photographs are awe inspiring. There is not a lot of information included, the photographs are the stars. This book will make a great gift. Enjoy

Sadly, I was unable to download this book in time before it was archived and this I was not able to either read or review it. My apologies.

Lovely coffee table book featuring lots of gorgeous photography of wonders from around the world, both natural and man-made. Perfect for cozying up on the couch with on a lazy afternoon!

I absolutely loved this book because it reminded me how lucky I've been to see more than half of the wonderful sights in this book. It include man made and natural wonders including even some animal wonders. I really enjoyed the photos and for the most part it was a good choice of photo for each place. My only issue is that a couple of places were missing a country in the description so I had no idea where it was taken.
Thanks to Netgalley.com and Amber Books Ltd for my complimentary eARC copy.

Having looked at this book it makes me realise how lucky I am to have even been able to visit just a few of these stunning places. I liked that the book had a mixture of natural and manmade buildings too.

The images in the book are wonderful, they are bright and clear and really show off the beauty of these places. It is 5 stars from me for this one – I have added quite a lot more on my “places I want to visit” list!

More gorgeous photos of places we can only hope to one day visit. May covid finally go away so we can travel again!

I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.

Wonders of the world is a stunning photography book about amazing wonderful places around the world.
I can never get enough of these types of books!

This book would make a fantastic pocket-sized book for anyone visiting another country and each photograph has a condensed piece of information about it.

Expect to see big, beautiful photographs of remarkable landmarks around the world, sometimes the ancient almost side-by-side with the modern on a single page. Some crafted by the hands of nature and some by the hands of man.

This would make a great book to have easily accessible in the home where family or close friends can gather together and discuss and ooh and aah over every image. It could also form a bucket list for the incurable traveler when globetrotting is safe again.

I like that the text is minimum so that you can go and hunt for more information should you desire to do so. Front and centre are the photographs by a long list of obviously talented photographers.

Thank you Netgalley and Amber Books for the ARC. This is my honest opinion.

A good coffee table travel photography book. Natural and manmade spot shown. Nice inspiration for wanting to travel to certain spots.

In 2020, this book might be a balm for those of us who are missing travel. It's essentially a picture book of all sorts of beautiful and fascinating places around the globe. Some are obvious (e.g., Pyramids of Giza Plateau, Taj Mahal), while others were new to me (e.g., Darvaza crater in Turkmenistan). All are vividly photographed and a short description accompanies. Lovely coffee table book.

What a wonderful photo book about beautiful places around the world! The photographs were spectacular and colorful. The information about each incredible place made me want to pack my bags and go for a visit. This book would make a great coffee table book for your guests to spark up an interesting conversation!

Very nice!
This is a very nice book, with pictures and a write up of the site shown. The pictures are attractive, and the written descriptions are well done.

This is an absolutely gorgeous book that was much more than I anticipated. I had thought it would be a dry read with the well known wonders of the world but it is much more than that.
The information provided with the photos are concise, informative and well written. I was surprised to see how much detail was provided. The photos accompanying the paragraphs are exquisite. I only read a Kindle version so the photos were small but they will be breath taking in a physical book.

I really enjoy browsing through books like this, compromising great photographs and a limited amount of text concerning the most famous, most amazing (and sometimes most visited) places in the world. The introduction here reminds us that there were originally seven wonders of the world, based on a list compiled by a Greek historian in the 5th Century. Of these, only one survives – the Pyramid of Khufu at Giza. But what now constitutes a great wonder? The pages here include both the natural and the man made. There will always be debate over what should and should not be included in such a collection but I think the producers of this book have done a pretty good job.

In working my way through the pages I counted fifteen sites I’ve visited in Europe, the Americas, Asia and the Pacific. And I’m pretty sure anyone who has done even a limited amount of travel would be able to tick off a few featured in the two hundred plus pages. My own favourites are those of the natural world and in this regard my personal memory bank puts the Great Barrier Reef, Australia and the Grand Canyon, USA as the most amazing spots I’ve visited. In terms of buildings I’d go for the Colosseum, Rome and the view of the Grand Canal, Venice from the Rialto Bridge. But on another day I might pick alternative favourites, and that’s the beauty of a book like this: it fires up the memory bank and prompts thoughts of future journeys to exotic and enticing places.

So what would be on my future list? I’d love to visit Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and see the view from the Christ the Redeemer statue, pop down to the border with Argentina to take in the Iguazu Falls and skip across to Peru to wonder around the site at Machu Picchu. And that barely covers my ‘must see’ list for just one part of the world. Yes, there’s too much to see in one lifetime but one can dream.

From Tajmahal to Grand Cayon, Grand Barrier Reef to Niagra Feels, this travel book is full of real, aesthetic and incredible photographs. Photographs are a treat for travelling nomads, nature lovers and admirers of historic architecture.

Each Photograph has a brief description covering important details. This is exactly where this beautiful book lacks a bit. I would have loved to read more about the places than just a few lines.

Inspite of lacking good descriptions, this book draws readers, thanks to amazing photographs.

So, read this beautiful travel book, for experiencing wonders of world without travelling, in this caged world of corona.

The photographs are stunning. The colors vivid. This is a wonderful book to give as a gift to someone who loves great photographs.

This wonderful picture book represents a breath-taking journey across each continent of the planet, celebrating man-made as well as natural sites of beauty. From the Great Sphinx of Giza in Egypt and the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania, passing Giant’s Causeway in Ireland, the Iguazu Falls in Brazil and Argentina, to the Terracotta Army in China and finishing with the Galapagos Island, this book represents a showcase of the many marvellous beauties that this planet has to offer us.

I have enjoyed the privilege of having visited many of these awe-inspiring places and it is not until I browsed this book for a second time that I realised what was unusual about all these pictures. They are almost utterly devoid of something that I as an amateur photographer have never been able to avoid capturing: fellow tourists. The world is a beautiful place and we are prepared to travel far and wide to experience the beauty of the likes of Angkor Wat, the Taj Mahal, Venice and the Great Barrier Reef. This book both whets that appetite for future travel, whilst presenting it in the most beautiful light.

This book features both natural and man made "wonders of the world." It is split into five different parts of the world and I loved getting a little history lesson along with the beautiful pictures.

This book is a lovely collection of photographs and information about amazing architecture, natural wonders, and even animals. I loved the beautiful photographs. The book is split into several sections including Pacific, Americas, Asia, etc. It is organized nicely and each section offers wonderful commentary including history and facts about wonders featured in the pictures. This book would be a great "coffee table book." I can imagine it sparking much conversation and curiosity by its readers. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys photography and/or learning about amazing world feats, both manmade and natural.

Stunning is the word that keeps running through my mind as I sit to write this review. Gorgeous is another. The small blurbs about each place are packed with educational information. My dream bucket list became much larger. Highly recommended!
