LIFE Wonders of the World

I am one of those people who laments the demise of Life magazine at least once a week, even if it's been gone for some three decades or so. Some images are still indelibly inscribed in my mind; for example, the clever presentation of the cultural impact of the first Star Wars movie (1976) by showing two trick-or-treaters costumed as their favorite characters.This book about past and present Life Wonders of the World does not disappoint. You may think you know what This and That look like, but a large part of the Life magic (and that of its philosophical close cousin, National Geographic) comes from the brilliance of the photographers, who invariably find a new way to show you something and help you gain a new appreciation for it. Already a shot from this book of the Eiffel Tower taken from a nearby rooftop and not at a distance from the ground is engraved in my memory. LIFE Wonders of the World (Life: The Classic Collection)

This book is a photographic buffet, and reveals all the past and present wonders of the world. It is a great coffee table presence, and was quickly processed by Amazon and delivered promptly and safely by this supplier.

I bought this as a gift for my cousin. She loved it! I flipped through the book before giving it to her, and let me tell you, there are some GORGEOUS shots in it. I especially loved the ones of the Eiffel Tower. I also loved that some of the photos are removable and suitable for framing. I had never seen that feature in a book before! I was really tempted to keep this book for myself. I might have to order another copy!

'No kidding. If you are a doctor, get this and your patients will complain less and less about the amount they wait. It's great! Maybe the only thing that would discourage you from getting this is that many of the photographs can actually be taken from the book, taken and framed. Yes, they are prints of photographs. So doctors may have some patients walking out of the office with that sweaty picture of Marilyn Monroe. That could be taken care of, however. And if you are looking for a great book to entertain you and your guests, this will serve the purpose wherever you are.

This book has many great pictures! I have had it for two years and I still find myself looking into it; I do not regret the decision to purchase it.

A beautiful hard cover coffee table magazine with very useful and interesting information and an awesome pictorial. A really good read.

A great way to sit, read and enjoy learning about history and geography.I like it better now than when I was in school.

This book arrived in good shape. Lots of nice photographs of amazing wonders in this world. Great coffee table book. Very impressed with book.

Soiled product not satisfied and disappointed

Love it!!!

This is probably one of the best books I now own of the type 'Wonders of the World' etc, which also includes the subject and photographs of Places in the World like Petra and the Galapagos Islands, wonders in the world - both Natural like The Great Barrier Reef,Victoria and Angel Falls,the River Amazon and Lake Baikal and man-made ones' such as The Millau Viaduct and The International Space Station to name just two included in this majestic title.The majority of the photographs are in colour save where they were originally taken in B&W and that is seen as an enhancement.Also there is brief,relevent historical information and text that accomapanies the photographic work that the reader should find interesting.
