Discover 100 of the world’s most remarkable artefacts, most stunning artworks and most intriguing ruins in this beautifully illustrated book about Earth's treasures.
Treasures both natural and manmade make an appearance in a tour which stretches across thousands of years and all around the globe. Discover sunken wrecks loaded with pirate gold, the abandoned tombs of the world's most powerful rulers and even meteorites – treasures from outer space!
A central gatefold offers a world map revealing the locations of all the treasures included in the book, while Blue Peter award-winning author David Long also addresses contemporary topics such as our threatened natural wonders and the ownership of cultural treasures.
David Long's engaging, imaginative and well-informed books reflect an unquenchable thirst for those events and personalities that illuminate the past. His work has appeared in the Sunday Times, in countless magazines and London’s Evening Standard.
Whilst a columnist on the Sunday People, he created a popular cartoon strip which ran for several years in the weekend edition of The Times. He has also ghostwritten books for other authors – one of which won the Independent Publisher's Book Award - and for publishers in Britain and the US. He writes the kind of stuff he likes to read – for both adults and children.
