| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The Seven Wonders of the World is a term referring to two lists: One that lists sites of the ancient world and a more updated version voted on in 2007. But what about all the places that deserve to be on the list, but didn't quite make the cut? This book looks at the natural and man-made sites that have been referred to as the "Eighth Wonder of the World" and why they are so spectacular. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
