Описание: The history of the Royal Geographical Society and that of photography run parallel, for both were born in the same decade. The new invention of photography became an indispensible tool for explorers and travellers because it enabled them to make a visual record of what they saw. Many of the pictures they took have found their way into the Society's unique photographic collection, and over 300 of those pictures - some in colour, most in black and white, dating from as far back as 1861 - form the basis of this book, the RGS Illustrated. Organised according to geographical region, the photographs offer a fascinating glimpse of the world's varied landscapes and habitats, its peoples and ways of life. Some of the pictures recall historic moments in time - Scott finding Amundsen's empty tent at the South Pole, Tenzing Norgay photographed by Hillary on the peak of Everest, the ferryman who took David Livingstone across the river on the last day of his life. Other pictures are remarkable as records of vanished or vanishing peoples, or simply as beautiful pieces of art in their own right. Lavishly produced, the RGS Illustrated is a book to treasure - a unique view of the world in all its variety, and a pictorial reminder of some of the greatest achievements in exploration. Founded in britain in 1830, the Royal Geographical Society has for more than 160 years provided a focus for geographical research and worldwide exploration, at both national and international level. After its merger in 1995 with The Institute of British Geographers, the Society now forms the largest and most vigorous geographical organisation in Europe with a current membership of some 13,000, inluding Fellows, Associate Fellows and Corporate bodies. The Society's role, as defined in its original Royal Charter, is 'the advancement of geographical science and the improvement and diffusion of geographical knowledge'. The many ways in which the Society honours these terms include supporting expeditions to all corners of the world, organising conferences and lectures, publishing books and journals, and maintaining an unparalleled record, in archive material, of some of the greatest geographical discoveries and studies. The Society continues to encourage the widespread enjoyment of geography, as well as fostering an awareness of those pressing environmental issues that fa the world today.

This new, thoroughly updated edition is the ultimate tribute to Metallica, complete with coverage of the band's most recent DVD set and live albums.
Formed in Los Angeles in 1981, Metallica has become the best-selling heavy metal group in music history, with an estimated 100 million worldwide album sales. The band has toured and performed on all seven continents.
In this updated edition of "Metallica: The Complete Illustrated History," acclaimed heavy metal journalist Martin Popoff leads a roster of celebrated heavy metal writers in taking on Metallica's story, analyzing studio albums, and providing a complete discography. More than 300 images complement the band's story: their formative years spent woodshedding in the clubs of Los Angeles; tragedies, such as the death of founding bassist Cliff Burton; the triumphs of multiple platinum recordings; personnel changes, such as the departures of Dave Mustaine and Jason Newsted; and tours around the world. Live-performance and candid backstage photographs are accompanied by memorabilia.
This updated edition includes coverage of Metallica's two "Orion Music + More" festival gigs in 2012 and 2013; the band's 2012 departure from Warner Bros. and the formation of Blackened Records; the release of the "Quebec Magnetic" two DVD live set in 2012; and the release of "Through the Never," an innovative 3D, no-dialog horror movie interspersed with Metallica live footage and a live soundtrack album in 2013. The band's Antarctica performance generated a digital live album, "Freeze 'Em All," and Metallica toured the world in 2013, 2014, and 2015, with shows from England to Norway to Peru. All of this history and more is packed in the updated edition of "Metallica."
Consider this updated edition a loud tribute to one of heavy metal's hardest-rocking bands.

Описание: The complete illustrated catalogue is available in two versions, as a printed book and as a package of CD-ROM and book combined. The CD-ROM contains the complete text of the catalogue with high resolution illustrations of every work owned by the National Gallery and on permanent or long-term loan. The indexes and search facilities on disc provide art historians, picture researchers and the interested general public with in-depth access to one of the world's most important collections of European painting from the 13th to the 20th century. In addition to the descriptions of works and biographies of artists, each work has an associated set of key words relating to general subjects (eg children, angels, winter), specific subjects (eg Samson, Mary Magdalen), and picture types (eg portrait, landscape, still life, altarpiece). The artist index includes aliases and alternative alphabetizations (eg Van Gogh under v and g). The material is organized alphabetically by artist as in the book. In addition to a comprehensive bibliography of major studies of the collection, a bibliography (as a pop-up) is available for each painting. The illustrations are available in two sizes: a "thumbnail" - approximately the same size on screen as on the pages of the book - and a much larger blow-up for closer study. The blow-up images have a maximum dimension of 1500 x 1500 pixels - equivalent to a screen area of 20" by 20", enabling users to study every work in the Gallery's collection in greater detail than in other printed or electronic versions. As in the book, all but 300 of a total of more than 2200 illustrations are in colour. Users have facilities for downloading and printing small-scale images and text for personal use (with copyright notices).
