Angkor - Cambodia's Wondrous Khmer Temples (6th Edition)
Dawn Rooney

The great legacy of the ancient Khmer civilisation, the temples of Angkor cover an area of over 77 square miles in northwest Cambodia. These monuments, built between the ninth and 15th centuries—the classic period of Khmer
art—are unrivalled in architectural greatness. They are, undoubtedly, one of the wonders of the world, astounding in their splendour and evoking a real sense of awe.

This beautifully illustrated book contains background information on Khmer history, religious beliefs and legends depicted on the bas-reliefs, as well as descriptions of the architectural features. It also includes a monument-by-monument guide to the sites with detailed maps and plans, plus information about four temple complexes
accessible by helicopter.
