From the team behind the best-selling *Atlas of Adventures* comes an awe-inspiring journey showcasing the globe's most impressive landscapes, iconic buildings, and evocative antiquities from both modern and ancient worlds. Travel around the world to scale the Eiffel Tower, trek the Great Wall of China, and raft through Yosemite Valley. Each page reveals another breathtaking sight, from the deepest point on Earth to the highest peak, ancient cities carved into rock, and skyscrapers soaring above the clouds. Each section begins with an infographic map of the region, followed by richly detailed two-page spreads featuring its most jaw-dropping natural and manmade wonders. Explore the sprawling Angkor Wat, survive the extreme heat of Death Valley, and gaze at the majestic ruins of Machu Picchu. Lucy Letherland’s stunning artwork brings these wonders to life, capturing their scale and history. Interesting facts pepper the scenes, such as Hawaii’s Kilauea volcano being home to a fire goddess, or that Mount Everest is so high helicopters can’t reach its summit. A "Can you find?" page at the back challenges readers to locate pictured scenes. Children and adults alike will be astounded by the world’s most unbelievable sights in this compendium of wonders.

Never drag your heels around a dull museum again. Boggle at the enormity of space, get nostalgic at childhood memories or be dumbstruck by the International Museum of Toilets. Whether you're a history buff, tech-head or have an inexplicable fascination with clowns, you'll find world-class collections here to pique your interests.

You Only Live Once is not just another collection of bucketlist of big-ticket items. We’ve all heard about Venice and, yes, it is probably worth going to Italy to see its waterways. Instead, hopefully you’ll take away something more from this book: a resolve to live life to the fullest, to add a dash of joie de vivre to every day. What all the ideas contained within have in common is that they’re starting points. They will reignite long-forgotten desires – to learn an instrument or a language – or spark new and unexpected ambitions: why shouldn’t you move to Provence for a year? When you know what’s stopping you, you can start working on a solution. Perhaps this book will be as useful in helping you identify obstacles as will be for refining your month’s or your year’s travel experiences. ‘You only live once; but if you do it right, once is enough.’ - Mae West
