This handsome, unique package -- containing a stereoscopic viewer,
34 3D photographic cards, and a photo-packed paperback book --
offers a rare view of Paris, the world's most beautiful city,
during an era when art, literature, poetry, and music blossomed and
reigned. Paris during the Belle Epoque (1880-1914) was a time when
peace and prosperity allowed for towering innovation in art,
fashion, architecture, and gastronomy. The city at this time was
the epicenter of art and music. Faure, Saint Saens, Debussy, and
Ravel were composing; Rodin was working on The Thinker; Renoir,
Monet, Cezanne, Pissarro, and Degas painted scenes depicting
everyday life; and Pablo Picasso embarked on his Blue Period. As
Art Nouveau came into fashion, new buildings followed suit. Opera
Garnier, Castel Beranger, Moulin Rouge, and the Paris Metro
entrances were all built during this time. Galeries Lafayette
unveiled its gilded department store, which sold couture to the
aspiring middle class. This burgeoning creativity and prosperity,
as well as the city and the inhabitants who embraced it, are all
captured here, with stunning clarity and realism. Paris in 3D's
innovative and inimitable package includes a sturdy metal
stereoscopic viewer, 34 rarely seen stereoscopic photographs of the
city at the turn of the century, and an accompanying 128-page
paperback, which provides a brief history of the stereograph craze
and an overview of the city's evolution during that time.
Where is the best place to meet kind and peaceful aliens? How do we
communicate with intelligent interstellar life forms, socialise
with Martians, and avoid unwanted close encounters of the third
kind? Here is a map of the portals that open up between the worlds,
a geography of strange events that covers the entire earth,
demonstrating how widespread the phenomenon is. Learn about
locations of sightings, hidden bases, secret embassies, and
long-lost traces of thousand-year-old passages. From the UFO port
of Arès to the underground center of Area 51, from the crash at
Roswell to setting up the SETI program, this atlas lists, for the
first time, the meeting points between earthlings and EBE, these
mysterious extra-terrestrial biological entities.
