Description: National Geographic - 500 of the World's Most Peaceful and Powerful Destinations Condition is Very Good. Shipped with USPS Media Mail. This beautiful, large, coffee-table sized National Geographic book was one of my best finds at our library's book sale. I have looked at every picture and read about them all. Extremely interesting and educational. If I had a family still at home, I would keep it so everyone could learn and enjoy. The pictures in this book, all pertaining to the subject matter, are great examples of National Geographic's well-known photography efforts. This book is a pleasure to look at and read. Almost 400 pages! Review: This inspirational book showcases 500 of the world's most powerful and spiritual places–and guides modern-day travelers who wish to visit them. With eloquent text, hundreds of gorgeous full-color images, and practical visitor information, Sacred Places of a Lifetime: 500 of the World’s Most Peaceful and Powerful Destinations highlights fascinating icons of many religions around the world and offers an intriguing window into the cultures that created them. From prehistoric burial chambers to modern monuments and sanctuaries, each site’s history, lore, and appeal is evocatively detailed. Nearly 300 locator maps point out pilgrimage routes, temples, mountains, churches, and holy places, including Mont St.-Michel Abbey in France, founded after a reported vision of the Archangel Michael; the White Horse Temple in China, site of the country’s first Buddhist temple, dating from the first century A.D.; Machu Picchu in Peru, whose origins lie in obscurity; and Dome of the Rock in Jerusalem, said by many to be the holiest city in the world. A follow-up to the bestselling Journeys of a Lifetime: 500 of the World’s Greatest Trips, this beautiful book answers the call of the spiritual traveler while also appealing to the many readers interested in sites of unique cultural heritage.
