Synopsis
From the cover: The ancients acknowledged seven wonders of the world, and the Greeks described them in detail: The Pyramids, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, the Colossus of Rhodes, the Temple of Artemis, the Pharos of Alexandria, the Mausoleum of Halicarnass and the statue of Zeus at Olympia. Of these only the Pyramids remain, and this surviving marvel of the ancient world has, during the course of centuries, been rivaled again and again. This magnificently illustrated book describes the ancient wonders -- and goes on to show how enormously the range of 'wonders' has been extended by the march of science and the exploration of the globe. With over 350 illustrations, 200 in color, and numerous maps, this book is both a feast for the eye and a mine of information.
