1.《中国国家地理:欧洲》
欧洲有着悠久的历史,这里孕育了西方文明。而如今,它却必须面对如何保护自然这一燃眉之急的课题。事实上,世界上的其他地区也面临着同样的问题。人类与自然的共存就像一部编年史,彼此之间有合作、有影响、有冲突、有争议。人类活动永无休止,其结果立竿见影:在整个西欧,几乎没有任何一个地方纯净到可以把自己定义为“原始之地”。实际上,欧洲所有的自然环境(即使那些看起来很“自然”的地方)都已成为人类不断膨胀的欲望所在,成为了人类活动的中心。因此,在讲述那些依然呈现自然状态,或者拥有重要景观的地点时,如果我们想要准确无误地阐释出这些地方的现状和将来可能的变化,就必须牢记人类活动影响这个大背景。
在欧洲,从最近一次冰期的最后期,即大约10000~20000年前,人类开始介入自然环境的改变,并且自中世纪开始,这种介入变得更加广泛和系统。在欧洲大陆的广大地域,曾经覆盖有大片的原始森林,如今这些森林都已被毁坏,取而代之的是各种农场和城市。 显示更多 显示更少 。

    A spectacular journey through the most beautiful nature preserves in Asia.
    This is probably the first volume dedicated to the natural wonders of Asia. Either because of their amazing landscapes, or because of their obvious popularity, America and Africa have always outclassed Asia in terms of fame and our knowledge of their natural heritage. However, the world’s most extensive continent boasts an amazing and unique variety and diversity of environments, climates, ecosystems, geological structures, fauna and flora. This volume has been created as an invitation to discover all of Asia’s wonders: Siberian glaciers populated by walruses and polar bears; Indonesia’s rich equatorial forests, the habitat of orang-utans and rhinos; and much, much more. The volume’s 44 selected regions, which include pictures of both famous and little-known places, are fully explained and magnificently portrayed. They are the “business-cards” of a continent that preserves huge areas of unchanged wilderness and stunning hotspots of biodiversity. These pictures, representing lives that - luckily or not - inevitably come into contact with humans, will take the readers on an extraordinary voyage of exploration that has no precedent in terms of completeness, iconographic quality and analysis.

      A spectacular journey through the most beautiful nature preserves in North America. At a time when we are more aware than ever of the vulnerability of the earth and of the fragility of the environment, this important book is at once timely and stunningly beautiful. Timeless North America showcases the richest and most varied natural habitats of this diverse continent. Magnificent photographs, presented beautifully in the large-scale format of the book, depict the most famous national parks and wildlife refuges of North America, as well as areas off the beaten track. From Denali National Park in Alaska to Niagara Falls Biosphere Reserve in Ontario, from the Cape Cod National Seashore in Massachusetts to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park, the sites visited in this book criss-cross the continent and represent a vast range of ecosystems, and the flora and fauna they support. Vibrant full-color photographs transport us to Bryce Canyon National Park in Utah where otherworldly geologic formations of “hoodoos” dominate the landscape. We are given a private tour of Everglades National Park, home to such rare and endangered species as the American crocodile, Florida panther, and West Indian manatee and designated an International Biosphere Reserve, a World Heritage Site, and a Wetland of International Importance. From the harsh desert habitat of California’s Death Valley to the lush tropical and subtropical forests of Cascadas de Agua Azul reserve in Chiapas, this volume demonstrates the beauty, fragility, and inestimable significance of ecoregions across North America.

          An invaluable reference for professional and amateur divers, this volume presents the extraordinary richness of the underwater world in elegant pictorial layouts. Presented here are 50 of the world’s best dives, illustrated with superb photographs. An editorial board of internationally renowned professional divers selected the sites for their exceptional geographical settings and biodiversity, and each is described in detail. For user convenience, the book is organized geographically, with chapters on the Atlantic Ocean and the Caribbean, the Mediterranean, the Red Sea, the Indian Ocean, and the Pacific Ocean. An overview presents the outstanding natural features and unique characteristics of each region; it is followed by in-depth descriptions of recommended dives. The editors present a thoughtful analysis of every dive site, with a description of the topography, fish species likely to be seen, and highlights such as such as frequent dolphin sightings, rare species, etc. that make each site noteworthy. A three-dimensional reconstruction of the seabed helps guide readers through each site, while sidebars provide such essential information on maximum depth, level of difficulty, visibility, strength of current, and the best time to go. Throughout the book, remarkable close-ups and double-page spreads depict the wealth of wildlife that divers will encounter as they explore these exceptional dive sites.
