Product Description
Join the author on a personal journey to the Seven Natural Wonders of the world and to the Seven Man-made Wonders - Natural Wonders: Amazonia. Angel Falls. Ayers Rock. Blue Grotto. Grand Canyon and More. Rainbow Bridge. Victoria Falls. Man-made Wonders: Crazy Horse. Empire State Building. Golden Gate Bridge. Great Wall of China. Machu Picchu. Petra. Taj Mahal.

I liked this book, but i would've loved it if it was longer. I would have loved to hear more about the author's journeys and feelings on these trips, and on viewing the sites.I wanted to learn about the Wonders of the World, and this did teach me alot in a short amount of time.
