People still speak of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, but today's architectural and engineering marvels put them to shame.

From Dubai's Burg Khalifa--the world's tallest tower--to the Millau Viaduct Bridge in France, supported by concrete columns taller than the Eiffel Tower, this technically detailed, beautifully illustrated guide celebrates human ingenuity and daring.
