Written in an authoritative yet accessible tone, it uncovers the myths, histories, and debates that surround each wonder, inviting readers to reconsider what humanity has deemed worthy of awe throughout the ages. Beautifully produced in the signature Folio Society style, this volume is as much a collector's object as it is a work of historical inquiry, making it an essential addition to any shelf devoted to the ancient world.
