Dan Cruickshank's quest is to tell the story of civilisation through the greatest of man's achievements. It will also be the story of his travels, and who and what he meets along the way. Whether standing before the solemn heads of Easter Island, investigating the mysterious Nazca lines in Peru or the magnificent temple of Borobodur in Java, Dan is never less than fascinating about the origins, construction, mysteries and vicissitudes of each of these monuments to the great civilisations of the world. Do they live up to expectation? Have they been left in ruin, or over-restored? Dan's diary, written at the end of each day, records his most intimate thoughts and feelings, the people he has met, the ups and downs of the journey, perils, joys, and the ongoing relationships formed on the road.

This book is a journey through the treasures that the five continents offer to the travel enthusiasts, or to whoever is capable of opening their eyes in amazement when faced with beauty. The aim is to present readers with the most beautiful images of the world, like as many windows open onto the Earth. The works of humankind and natural beauty will alternate in this extraordinary journey: from a train or aeroplane window, or from a ship’s porthole, we shall see Mount Fitz Roy, the Vatnajokull glacier and the geysers of Yellowstone, the waterfalls of Iguazu and the islands of Polynesia, the Great Barrier Reef and the Skeleton Coast; as well as the giants of Easter Island, the Mexican pyramids and those at Giza, the Terracotta Army and the great cities of the ancient times. This book, then, is a collection of extraordinary photographic accounts, which allow us to admire the various perspectives, shots and overall views of eighty wonders chosen from our planet. Interesting explanatory texts introduce every chapter, each of which will focus on one place. Brief captions will help the Reader to identify the places photographed.

Discover some of the world’s most awe-inspiring and holy places, from Stonehenge to Uluru, and Walden Pond to Angkor Wat. Humans have always searched for and created meaning in the world around them, whether in breathtakingly stunning natural features and phenomena, acknowledging the ancient home of a particular faith or movement, or honoring the location of a significant event. In this beautifully illustrated guide, Alice Peck discusses what makes a place spiritual—whether reaches of time, geography, the provision of sustenance or inspiration, or mystery and magic—and then explores 80 such locations around the globe. Rather than a comprehensive travel guide, the description of each one includes a detail or tip—something beautiful, strange, relatively unknown or unfamiliar—to allow readers to deepen their focus and perhaps experience the place in a different way than they might expect. If you are unable to travel at this time, this book will help you plan your next adventure. And if you are trying to limit your carbon footprint, each destination is accompanied by a related meditation, prayer, practice, or quotation to help you connect to the spirit of it from your own home.

What makes a place so memorable that it survives forever in a word? In this captivating round-the-world tour, Paul Anthony Jones acts as your guide through the intriguing stories of how eighty places became immortalized in the English language. You’ll discover why the origins of turkeys, limericks, Brazil nuts, and Panama hats aren’t quite as straightforward as you might presume. If you’ve never heard of the tiny Czech mining town of Jáchymov—or Joachimsthal, as it was known until the late 1800s—you’re not alone, which makes its claim to fame as the origin of the word “dollar” all the more extraordinary. The story of how the Great Dane isn’t all that Danish makes the list, as does the Jordanian mountain whose name has become a byword for a tantalizing glimpse. We’ll also find out what the Philippines has given to your office inbox, what Alaska has given to your liquor cabinet, and how a speech given by a bumbling North Carolinian gave us a word for impenetrable nonsense. Surprising, entertaining, and illuminating, this is essential reading for armchair travelers and word nerds. Our dictionaries are full of hidden histories, tales, and adventures from all over the world—if you know where to look.
