Back in the days when the information age was a distant dream and
the world a more mysterious place, National Geographic began its
mission to reveal the wonders of history, popular science, and
culture to eager audiences around the globe. Since that 1888
launch, the world has changed; empires have risen and crumbled and
a galaxy of information is today only a click away. But National
Geographic endures; its calm, authoritative voice is as respected
as ever amid the surfeit of data in our daily lives. In this new
anthology, TASCHEN and National Geographic gather the magazine's
best infographics of the past 128 years. Through seven
sections-History, The Planet, Being Human, Animal World, World of
Plants, Science & Technology, and Space-we encounter the rise
and fall of the Roman Empire, the mysterious origins of the Easter
Island statues, Cleopatra's Alexandria, and the anatomy behind a
cheetah's extraordinary speed. We discover how our genetic patterns
have been pieced together over the years and how birds make music;
we get to grips with global warming and explore our ever-expanding
study of an ever-expanding universe. With an essay by Nigel Holmes,
charting the evolution of National Geographic over the decades and
its pioneering use of graphics, as well as five fold-outs mimicking
original pull-outs or inserts in the magazine, the book stands as a
defining record of one of the world's best-known publications as
well as a beautifully presented repository of accessible discovery
and learning. Visualizing the histories, facts, and figures that
make up our planet and our species, National Geographic
Infographics is as true to the magazine's original mission as
ever-an anchor of knowledge and a wunderkammer of discovery for
young and old alike.
