Sadaik Short Reviews: Myanmar Superlatives
Subtitled as a collection of the greatest wonders in Myanmar, it is no surprise that the bulk of this informative and well-researched collated series of articles focus on the largest and oldest religious monuments; the monasteries, images and …
pagodas that the nation is renowned for. Yet, given the authors knowledge, there is a regrettable sense of omission, as if the book is only half complete, for only towards the books end does he stray into secular wonders; Myanmars engineering marvels and geological oddities that must surely compete with religious structures as superlatives that rival others in the world.
