In this 224-page photography book， travel writer Claudia Martin shares “strange and wonderful places that are little visited and little known。” Each location typically gets a photograph or two with an informative caption， and locations are featured from each continent except Antarctica。 The content feels a bit random， so I would have liked to read more about how these particular locations were chosen。 Maps showing where the sites are located would also have been a welcome addition。 You could use In this 224-page photography book， travel writer Claudia Martin shares “strange and wonderful places that are little visited and little known。” Each location typically gets a photograph or two with an informative caption， and locations are featured from each continent except Antarctica。 The content feels a bit random， so I would have liked to read more about how these particular locations were chosen。 Maps showing where the sites are located would also have been a welcome addition。 You could use this book to inspire future travel plans， but not much information is included about each site， just a brief paragraph。 If a photograph catches your interest， you can always research that site more yourself。 Some of these photographs certainly piqued my curiosity。 At 12 by 9 inches， this attractive hardcover book would make a wonderful gift or be an interesting addition to your coffee table。 Thanks to Amber Books for providing me with an ARC through NetGalley。 I volunteered to provide an honest review。 。。。more

This is an absolutely beautiful book featuring many， many places I never knew existed。From ever-burning craters， to pink stones， gothic castles to ancient temples and waterfalls that look so perfect you’d think they were CGI。A fascinating look at what is out there， off the beaten track and away from heavily populated areas。Each photograph is accompanied by a small text telling you what you’re looking at and giving a short history if needed。It has certainly added many places to my bucket list and This is an absolutely beautiful book featuring many， many places I never knew existed。From ever-burning craters， to pink stones， gothic castles to ancient temples and waterfalls that look so perfect you’d think they were CGI。A fascinating look at what is out there， off the beaten track and away from heavily populated areas。Each photograph is accompanied by a small text telling you what you’re looking at and giving a short history if needed。It has certainly added many places to my bucket list and given me a few I’d like to research more about。Thank you NetGalley and the publishers for giving me a chance to read this book and travel far and wide from my armchair。 。。。more

This book is full of beautiful photos of nature and architecture that may not always get the love they deserve。There were moments where I turned to the next featured location and my mind was blown by how beautiful and/or awe-inspiring it was。I appreciated that not only did I get to see some new， intriguing places， but I got to learn things too thanks to the facts sprinkled throughout the descriptions。It was fun to see a few favorites like Lofoten and Svalbard， but also be surprised by new places This book is full of beautiful photos of nature and architecture that may not always get the love they deserve。There were moments where I turned to the next featured location and my mind was blown by how beautiful and/or awe-inspiring it was。I appreciated that not only did I get to see some new， intriguing places， but I got to learn things too thanks to the facts sprinkled throughout the descriptions。It was fun to see a few favorites like Lofoten and Svalbard， but also be surprised by new places I'd never heard of before。 I've definitely added more places to my travel list！Thank you to NetGalley and Amber Books Ltd。 for an ARC in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
