Visual History of World

release date: Jan 01, 2005
Visual History of World
Glorious photographs of every part of the world. Delving deeply into century-old picture archive National Geographic presents the world''s hugely diverse places with epic grandeur, unparalleled intimacy, romantic beauty, and gritty realism. The photographs are landscapes, cityscapes, famous landmarks, and unfamiliar spots that reveal special qualities of geography or culture one might otherwise never see. National Geographic''s quest since its founding in 1888 has been to describe "the world and all that''s in it." To fulfill that quest, photographers set out to document every imaginable place on earth, from the most remote to the most familiar; from the most primitive to the most sophisticated. National Geographic photographers have recorded the world''s places close up, in sweeping breadth, in depth, and over time. Twelve chapters each depict a unique geography, the culture and nature that inhabit it. Chapters are introduced by short, 1,500-word essays and looks carefully and deeply at a region''s special qualities. The geography and the life within it comes forward with its own unique character, its own special and unforgettable sense of place.

Hawaii

Hawaii
Author Bill Graves and photographer Jim Amos traveled the Aloha State for months, surveying the charms of America''s mid-Pacific outpost. The Hawaiian archipelago consists of eight major islands, and 129 lesser islands and islets. For nearly two centuries they have formed a bridge between East and West, first settled by Polynesians, and now routinely inundated by wave after wave of tourists. The tourists, and the infrastructure to house and amuse them are wreaking havoc on the islands ecology, as the very beauty that attracts them is being destroyed by development at an ever increasing pace. The authors explore this unique environment, taking readers along on their fascinating journey.
