Here’s something for a neglected audience: the young teenager. 100 Greatest
Manmade Wonders by Patricia Sechi-Johnson (Dragon’s World, 拢8.95, ISBN 1
85028 314 1) is a really tasty picture book. It contains much of the usual
stuff, from the pyramids to Pisa’s leaning tower, but adds modern examples such
as the Troll gas drilling platform, the Mir space station and the Arecibo
Observatory. A surprising amount of information lurks unobtrusively in the
picture captions.
