内容简介 "Kingfisher Knowledge" is a comprehensive, dynamic series for readers hungry for information on today's hot topics.

"Wonders of the World" reveals the history, stories and people behind the planet's most amazing structures. In chapter one, exciting artworks recreate the seven ancient wonders; chapter two zooms in on the later historical wonders, such as the Great Wall of China; and the final chapter reveals modern marvels, including the world's tallest skyscrapers.
专业书评 From Booklist
This wide-reaching entry in the Kingfisher Knowledge series aims to introduce young readers to the human-engineered wonders of the world, from the Great Pyramid of Egypt to the Taj Mahal to the Internet and the World Wide Web. Slotted into three chronological chapters, the spreads feature brief descriptions of each site, illustrated with present-day color photos and eye-catching, computer-generated images, many of which imagine the sites in ancient times. The book tries to encompass too much, particularly in its third section, which focuses on the achievements of modern civilization. But the quick survey will spark students' interest and perhaps encourage future, deeper research. A final section further explains the meaning of heritage sites, and chapter summaries introduce relevant vocabulary and encourage readers to think about the treasures in their own cities and countries.
