ReviewsWhile his or her coffee table may groan under the weight of this opus, it's a sumptuous future heirloom that begs to be displayed., This first class publication is an investment in culture to take good care of, share and pass on to future generations., It captures the heart of National Geographic's fascinating history from its earliest days to the growth, featuring show-stopping imagery and behind-the-scenes tales., A pictorial history of the splendors and shortcomings of the publication that became 'America's lens on the world.', Whether you're an avid fan of history, travel or photography, you'll love this mammoth collection of National Geographic's staggering photographs through 125 years., It's the photography book of the year and a towering achievement in every way... If you are interested in photography and humanity - and can afford it - this will provide a lifetime's pleasure., A voyage through continents, time and history but also through photographic techniques, this work dwarfs everything else as it questions the future of humanity. Mythical, astonishing, jaw-dropping, and in some cases never previously published, here are 1,468 photographs from the archives of National Geographic... An exceptional body of evidence to be passed down to future generations., An opulent three-volume photo-documentation is now being published by TASCHEN, who were given access to the archives of the National Geographic Society for the first time. A spectacular journey across all the continents, the ultimate world tour over 1,400 pages, with countless hitherto unpublished photographs., A fair number of these images had never previously been published. They cast a powerful and sometimes polemical eye over the health of our world and its peoples and landscapes. This is an indispensable testimony about human culture, which must be preserved, shared and handed down to future generations., I'm actually praying for a blizzard so I can sit for hours, guilt free, and look at this book. This is easily one of the most inspiring books I've bought in years and it reminds me of the power of a simple, straightforward image., The stunning image - Those eyes! That sari! Those lines in the palm of her hand! The book is a three-volume, 43-pound colossus of magisterial photography of the natural world over the past five generations or so...It goes for a little more than $ 10 per pound - less than you would pay for fresh shrimp - and frequently takes your breath away., Celebrate the 125th anniversary of National Geographic with this, frankly, jaw-dropping three volume collection of the best photographs, illustrations and stories from the archive of the venerable magazine. You'll remember the value long after you have forgotten the price., This exceptional book is a cultural investment to be cherished, shared and handed down the generations., Historic in its breadth and scope, National Geographic: Around the World in 125 Years will probably outlive the time it covers; it's the kind of carefully compiled, trans-continental collection that will remain relevant for many years to come.
SynopsisFor 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 transcontinental 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.Limited and numbered edition of 125,000 copiesFeatures: 1,404 pages of photos in three volumes Includes photos by Steve McCurry, Frans Lanting, George Rodger, James Nachtwey, and dozens of National Geographic staffers who covered the world from Timbuktu to Tuvalu Introductory essays by Douglas Brinkley Photographer biographies Each slipcase converts into its own bookstand because these treasures deserve to be put on display!, Exploring the globe since 1888: A journey through time with the world's favorite magazine 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.
