Along with 26 colleagues, Bright, an executive producer with the BBC's Natural History Unit, compiled this catalog of 1,001 natural wonders, that is, geological and physical phenomena and wonders of the animal kingdom. Arranged by continent, the entries are a page or two in length and include statistics and a capsule encyclopedia-like account; color pictures, accredited to the Nature Picture Library, accompanying most entries. Location, type, and general indexes make it easy to thumb through the text, although missing page numbers on some pages (because of the pictures) can confuse. Covering a varied terrain from Gros Morne National Park in Newfoundland to Fiordland in South Island, New Zealand, this book is like a composite of myriad National Geographic magazines. In the same genre as Patricia Schulz's 1,000 Places To See Before You Die, 1001 Natural Wonders hits the high points of the natural world in all continents. Recommended for public libraries.-Ravi Shenoy, Naperville P.L., IL... See less
