The views range from panoramic aerial pictures to close-ups of architectural details, including many works in museums rarely visited. The 'monuments' of Cambodia are interpreted in the broadest sense to that the book includes and anthology of translations from Khmer, Sanskrit, Chinese and other texts, and an essay. Other features are plans of monuments and sites; maps and drawings; a chronological chart; recommended further reading; and a list of museums in the United Kingdom and North America containing art and artefacts from the Khmer civilisation.
