Book excerpt: Exploring the globe since 1888. A journey through time with the world's favorite magazine ""TASCHEN has taken these photos out of our archives and elevated them into the realm of fine art." --"Declan Moore (Executive VP, National Geographic Society) Limited edition of 125,000 copies worldwide! For five generations, "National Geographic "magazine has dazzled and educated people with its incredible photographs, illustrations, and gripping stories from the four corners of the earth. Combining travel, wildlife, science, history, culture, and conservation, the National Geographic Society's trailblazing magazine has inspired millions of readers to explore and take an interest in the planet we inhabit. Now, in celebration of its 125th anniversary, "National Geographic" has given TASCHEN complete access to its archives to distill the journey of a lifetime into three prodigious volumes featuring photographs--many unpublished--almost as rich, deep, and colorful as the world itself. Our trans-continental trip starts in the Americas and Antarctica (Volume 1); we then cross the Atlantic to Europe and Africa (Volume 2); and finally sail the Indian Ocean to Asia and Oceania (Volume 3). From evocative early black-and-white pictures to autochromes, from the golden age of Kodachromes to digital, "National Geographic" invented the aesthetic of the photo essay, while pushing the technical boundaries of the medium. Readers will discover how the magazine evolved from presenting a romantic view of the world--subjects posed and smiling--to edgier stories reflecting political turmoil, social issues, and environmental threats. Of course, the journey would not be complete without prime examples of the magazine's revered groundbreaking underwater and wildlife photography, so we've included plenty of such treasures as well. This world class set is a cultural investment to be cherished, shared, and passed down to future generations. "It is a dream come true, and a perfect marriage for TASCHEN and National Geographic to be working together. TASCHEN's attention to detail and level of perfection pay homage to each photographer's vision, unlike any other book we have ever done!"" --Chris Johns (National Geographic Magazine Editor-in-Chief) Features: Approximately 1,500 pages of photos and illustrationsIncludes photos by Steve McCurry, Frans Lanting, George Rodger, James Nachtwey, and dozens of "National Geographic"staffers who covered the world from Timbuktu to TuvaluIntroductory essays by Douglas BrinkleyPhotographer biographiesEach slipcase converts into its own bookstand because these treasures deserve to be put on display!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Durante cinco generaciones, la revista National Geographic ha deslumbrado y educado al público con sus asombrosas fotografías, ilustraciones y apasionantes historias procedentes de todos los rincones del planeta. Inspirado en nuestro monumental La vuelta al mundo en 125 años, este volumen recopila más de 250 imágenes fascinantes procedentes de los archivos de National Geographic. A través de viajes, vida salvaje, ciencia, historia, cultura y conservación, este compendio es un homenaje imponente a las maravillas caleidoscópicas de Asia y Oceanía y un tributo único a la revista fotográfica más famosa del mundo. Organizado por áreas geográficas, Oriente Medio, Sur, Sudeste, Norte y Este de Asia, así como Australia, Nueva Zelanda, Nueva Guinea y Pacífico e Islas del Pacífico Sur, nuestro viaje transcontinental por el tiempo y el espacio se desarrolla a través de evocadoras imágenes en blanco y negro y autocromos, desde la edad dorada del Kodachrome hasta la era digital. A lo largo del camino, recorremos el angosto paso entre las rocas de más de un kilómetro de longitud que conduce hasta la ciudad perdida de Petra; nos rendimos ante la majestuosidad del Taj Mahal; nos acercamos temerariamente a los osos pardos de Kamchatka; descubrimos el “festival del hombre desnudo”, en Japón, en el que los hombres salen de noche a la calle sin apenas ropa, y miramos directamente a los ojos a los tiburones grises que habitan las aguas de las Islas Marshall. Incluye la obra de fotógrafos como Steve McCurry, David Doubile, Jodi Cobb y Frans Lanting. Los lectores descubrirán cómo National Geographic evolucionó desde la visión romántica continental que ofrecía a sus lectores, mucho antes de la llegada de Travel Channel y Google Images, hasta las historias más descarnadas de ciudades superpobladas, las dificultades de la vida en el campo y las amenazas medioambientales. Completado con ejemplos extraordinarios de la venerada fotografía subacuática y de fauna salvaje de la revista, este libro es una ventana al mundo y una inversión cultural que debe ser apreciada y compartida.

Download or read book Temper Sands in Prehistoric Oceanian Pottery written by William R. Dickinson and published by Geological Society of America. This book was released on 2006-01-01 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Oceanian ceramic cultures making earthenware pottery spread during the past 3500 years through a dozen major island groups spanning 6000 km of the tropical Pacific Ocean from western Micronesia to western Polynesia. Island potters mixed sand as temper into clay bodies during ceramic manufacture. The nature of island sands is governed by the geotectonics of hotspot chains, island arcs, subduction zones, backarc basins, and remnant arcs as well as by sedimentology. Because small islands with bedrock exposures of restricted character are virtual point sources of sand, many tempers are diagnostic of specific islands. Petrographic study of temper sands in thin section allows distinction between indigenous pottery and exotic pottery transported from elsewhere. Study of 2223 prehistoric Oceanian potsherds from 130 islands and island clusters indicates the nature of Oceanian temper types and documents 105 cases of interisland transport of ceramics over distances typically

Download or read book World Development Report 2009 written by World Bank and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2008-11-04 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising densities of human settlements, migration and transport to reduce distances to market, and specialization and trade facilitated by fewer international divisions are central to economic development. The transformations along these three dimensions density, distance, and division are most noticeable in North America, Western Europe, and Japan, but countries in Asia and Eastern Europe are changing in ways similar in scope and speed. 'World Development Report 2009: Reshaping Economic Geography' concludes that these spatial transformations are essential, and should be encouraged. The conclusion is not without controversy. Slum-dwellers now number a billion, but the rush to cities continues. Globalization is believed to benefit many, but not the billion people living in lagging areas of developing nations. High poverty and mortality persist among the world's 'bottom billion', while others grow wealthier and live longer lives. Concern for these three billion often comes with the prescription that growth must be made spatially balanced. The WDR has a different message: economic growth is seldom balanced, and efforts to spread it out prematurely will jeopardize progress. The Report: documents how production becomes more concentrated spatially as economies grow. proposes economic integration as the principle for promoting successful spatial transformations. revisits the debates on urbanization, territorial development, and regional integration and shows how today's developers can reshape economic geography.
