Delving deeply into century-old picture archive National Geographic presents the world's hugely diverse places with epic grandeur, unparalleled intimacy, romantic beauty, and gritty realism. National Geographic's quest since its founding in 1888 has been to describe ""the world and all that's in it."" National Geographic photographers have recorded the world's places close up, in sweeping breadth, in depth, and over time. Twelve chapters each depict a unique geography, the culture and nature that inhabit it. Chapters are introduced by short, 1,500-word essays and looks carefully and deeply at a region's special qualities. The geography and the life within it comes forward with its own unique character, its own special and unforgettable sense of place.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">National Geographic</note> <subject> <topic>Geography</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>World History</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Illustrated book</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">902.02</classification> <classification authority="ddc">V822-W93</classification> <identifier type="isbn">0792236955</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16602/img-98411.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/16602/img-98411.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2025-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071622.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
