Background
The World Heritage List includes properties forming part of the cultural and natural heritage which the World Heritage Committee considers as having outstanding universal value. In 1972 the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) adopted the Convention concerning the Protection of the World’s Cultural and Natural Heritage. Since then, 981 sites in 160 countries have been inscribed onto the list, 759 of which are cultural, 193 natural and 29 mixed properties.

Product Description:
UNESCO's 'bestselling guide to the most extraordinary places' presents all 981 sites on the World Heritage List, first mapped by continent, then arranged chronologically by the year in which they were inscribed on the List, from the Galapagos Islands in 1978 to the Namib Sand Sea in 2013. The guide covers a remarkable diversity of monuments and landscape, with cultural, natural and mixed sites, each described individually and the majority shown in photographs.
Review:
"As any self respecting monument knows, you haven't made it until you've garnered UNESCO status. From the Acropolis to the lesser known El Jem Coliseum, this gives you a tantalizing taste of all 878 World Heritage sites." Wanderlust
