Book Description
When speaking about the Wonders of the World, we mostly refer to the well-known Seven Wonders. But are there only those? Do wonders only refer to historical structures, or to giant structures that bear testimony to the ultimate capability of Man? Is the Model T Ford not a wonder? Is Mount Rushmore not a wonder? This book contains a compilation of 200 wonders, which not only includes structures, but also incidents, discoveries and works that have changed the way we think or even the way we live. Classified into Classical, Natural, Structural, Architectural, Cultural, and Technological Wonders, this book serves as a holistic guide to the wonders that have inspired us, as also to the wonders that have long gone unnoticed.

Book Description
“A poet celebrates the wonders of nature in a collection of essays that could almost serve as a coming-of-age memoir.” —Kirkus Reviews As a child, Nezhukumatathil called many places home: the grounds of a Kansas mental institution, where her Filipina mother was a doctor; the open skies and tall mountains of Arizona, where she hiked with her Indian father; and the chillier climes of western New York and Ohio. But no matter where she was transplanted—no matter how awkward the fit or forbidding the landscape—she was able to turn to our world’s fierce and funny creatures for guidance. “What the peacock can do,” she tells us, “is remind you of a home you will run away from and run back to all your life.” The axolotl teaches us to smile, even in the face of unkindness; the touch-me-not plant shows us how to shake off unwanted advances; the narwhal demonstrates how to survive in hostile environments. Even in the strange and the unlovely, Nezhukumatathil finds beauty and kinship. For it is this way with wonder: it requires that we are curious enough to look past the distractions in order to fully appreciate the world’s gifts. Warm, lyrical, and gorgeously illustrated by Fumi Nakamura, World of Wonders is a book of sustenance and joy.
