I bought this for my 90 year old father who has dementia. He loves looking and reading through it and has so far gotten hours of enjoyment from it. This book is beautiful and being National Geographic you know it is quality. I would recommend this book for seniors to engage their minds and interest. Father has taken to sitting it on his bed at night so he can glance at it.
This is not one of my favorite NGS books, but it will be for many readers. I prefer the books that are comprised of out-of-this-world photographs. This book is a guide for would-be tourists. The book opens with a double-page spread of a world map with the destinations shown in the book marked on the map by category. It's perfect for people who have seen pictures of exotic locales who have the time and money to go visit those quaint locations. Each location has descriptive text and a few outstanding NGS photographs taken at each of those locations. This book will a must for many tourists. It's kind of nice having the geographical locations pointed out in one coffee table book. Its the kind of book that will be accompanied by a tourists handbook of places to see, stay and eat. I still have my ancient, dogeared copy of "Europe on $5 A Day." It was a perfect travel guide for its era. I actually spent six weeks traveling around Europe for under $5 per day. Of course, that price really didn't include airline fares and required a Euro-Train Pass and many nights sleeping on bunk beds or cots in dormitories in hostiles.This book does include a NGS photograph of the most famous sites in the 225 locations described and shown. That will keep the tourist from missing the main attraction of that piece of world geography.
Purchased as a gift for my nephew. The photography is stunning and the book was a hit with a school age boy with aspirations to travel the world someday. You know you've found a winner when a kid spends Christmas with his face in a book.
This is a perfect "coffee table" book if you are looking for one. A large and beautifully illustrated collection that is guaranteed to make you start adding destinations to your bucket list as you turn the pages.

Fantastic coffee table book !! The pictures are stunning, and the information is really interesting. If you're thinking about going on an incredible trip or two, or even just want to learn more about some of the most amazing places on the planet, I highly recommend this book.
Lovely big book with wonderful pictures but a little too big to be practical to carry or travel with. It's more for coffee table! It has added new bucket list destinations and new pins for dream trips on my travel map! Take your travel dreams international or relish in the pictures. It's a real delight. It was Christmas gift for my husband and he loved it.
