  First in a series on the wonders pf the world, this book on the medieval world attempts to answer the questions everyone asks about them: what are they; where are they; what's left of them; who built them and how do we know? This book takes a look back in time to seven wonders from the medieval period, when exciting things were happening not just in Europe, but all over the world. From the Crusader castle of Krak des Chevaliers to the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, the sites are shown as they might have been then and as they are today. Contemporary carvings and statues, works of art in gold and silk and the buildings themselves tell their own story.
