My son who would like to be an architect when he gets older loved reading about the different methods used to create these beautiful places. The illustrations were highly detailed.

I really like having this book for our history curriculum!" —Cherokee Crum, YA Books Central"These buildings are a unique cross-section of world architecture and "How the New Seven Wonders of the World Were Built" offers a unique opportunity to compare the approaches, but also cultures of the entire world and different historical periods.

That was so cool to learn about and check out! Many of the places that were candidates, I had never heard of!" —Jan Farnworth, YA Books Central"I loved this cool book! It’s like diving into history. Each page has little snippets of information that are easy to read. I love the design of the pages, and the beautiful artwork.
