National Geographic Infographics Авт: Julius Wiedemann Вид-во: Taschen 45985

Through seven sections–History, The Planet, Being Human, Animal World, World of Plants, Science and 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 a history of Hawaiian surfboarding, all distilled in expert, accessible graphic form. We discover how our genetic patterns have been pieced together over the years or how hip-hop emerged as a cultural heavyweight; we get to grips with global warming, and explore our ever-expanding study of an ever-expanding universe.
