This handsome compact volume takes readers on a spectacular aerial trip around the world, where they take in landscapes and man-made works from rarely achieved vantage points. "The World" captures these treasures through the art and daring of the best photographers: the deep canyons of North America, the dense forests of South America, the dizzying peaks of the Himalayas and the Alps, the lunar colours of the great deserts, as well as the pyramid, the Great Wall of China, prehistoric villages, medieval towns of Europe, to the huge metropolises of the our millennium. A short description introduces each chapter dedicated to a particular aspect of the earth, and the photos are accompanied by identifying captions. Together the brief text and photographs allow readers to appreciate the views. This fourth title in the bestselling "Flying High" series, is also available in: America (8854400033); Egypt (8854400041); and Ireland (8854400505)(not available in Ireland).
