Product Description
Product Description
We only get one life so we owe it to ourselves to see as much of this beautiful world as possible. For many of us, lying on a beach for two weeks each year is just not enough any more. We want to see ancient monuments, extraordinary scenery, endangered wildlife, foreign cultures, architecture and art - places that give us the chance to grow and expand our horizons. Unforgettable Places to See Before You Die will help you search out some of these essential destinations and experiences.
International travel writer and photographer Steve Davey has drawn on his years of experience in selecting forty of his favourite places. Some, such as the Taj Mahal and the Alhambra, are relatively well-known, but most, such as the incredible temple of Angkor Wat in Cambodia and the amazing sand dunes of Dead Vlei in the Namib desert, are very much off the beaten track. Some, such as Venice or New York, involve relatively comfortable journeys, whilst others present more of a challenge - crossing the wilderness to see the rock-hewn churches at Lalibela in Ethiopia, for example, or trekking for nine days at altitude to see the stunning Himalayan scenery around Makalu in Nepal.
Although there are plenty of tips for travellers, this is not a travel guide, and is certainly not definitive, but it will introduce you to a host of spectacular locations, all of which can be visited in a holiday of two weeks or less. Beautifully illustrated throughout with specially commissioned photographs, this is a book that will inspire you to think beyond the walls of your room and take time out to visit some of the world's truly unforgettable places.

Although the trees that surround Angkor have been tamed, it is still possible to imagine how this ancient city was 'lost' to the outside world for centuries until the French explorer Henri Mahout discovered it smothered in the jungle in 1860. Read the first page

I envy the photographers the travels that brought them to these wonderful spots, and their vast talents that bring us there, too.
Its a book for rainy days, to remind you whats out there, and you need to see before it, or you goes. Its a book for sunny days to help decide on where to explore next, whilst on the phone to the airline company!
Loved by children, the photos are beautifully presented so that they can use their imagination to take them to these wonderful places. Enjoyed by adults as a motivational tool to get out there again...
A fabulous book, a wonderful gift, highly recommended.
I think there are much better books to get instead of this such as the 'Rough Guide: Make the most of your time... Read more
