{"product_id":"national-geographic-the-photographs-9781426202919","title":"National Geographic: The Photographs","description":"This stunning volume was the gift book of the year when it first published, and the images that grace its pages remain iconic. From the famous Afghan girl whose haunting green eyes stare out from the book's cover, and her poignant story that captured the world's interest, to award-winning photography culled from the Society's vast archives, \u003ci\u003eThe Photographs\u003c\/i\u003e offers readers an inside look at National Geographic and a sharp-eyed view of the world. The book showcases the skill and imagination of such notable Geographic photographers as David Doubilet, William Albert Allard, Sam Abell, Jim Stanfield, Jodi Cobb, Jim Brandenburg, David Alan Harvey, and many more. They share their techniques, as well as personal and colorful anecdotes about individual images and their adventures in the field--sometimes humorous, sometimes terrifying, always vividly compelling. Author Leah Bendavid-Val writes about the photographers' achievements from technical, journalistic, and artistic perspectives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFive chapters cover core National Geographic themes--wildlife on land and water; cultures in the United States and around the world; and science, from astronomy to archaeology to the human senses. The photographs in each chapter capture rare moments in nature and the lives of animals, along with defining events in the lives of people everywhere. This exquisite collection is as elegant as it is timeless.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e National Geographic Society\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781426202919\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 334\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.47lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.60h x 6.70w x 1.01d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eVanity Fair\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2008 pg. 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2009 pg. 295\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Leah Bendavid-Val","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36650444488860,"sku":"9781426202919","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_dda333e4-6b2c-4aaf-8cf7-3b828b7c1f12.jpg?v=1603875306","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/national-geographic-the-photographs-9781426202919","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
