<div> Schönheit und Vergänglichkeit: Unsere Alpen im Klimawandel</div> <div> Einzigartige Luftaufnahmen</div> <div> Ein außergewöhnlicher Bildband</div> <div> </div> <div> Etwa 4400 Gletscher gibt es in den Alpen. Noch – denn aufgrund der Erderwärmung verschwindet das scheinbar „ewige Eis“. Bis zum Ende unseres Jahrhunderts sollen laut Prognosen sogar vom größten Alpengletscher, dem Aletschgletscher in der Schweiz, nur noch wenige Eisfelder übrig sein.</div> <div> </div> <div> Steile Eisbrüche, spaltenreiche Gletscherzungen, Gletschertore, aus denen glitzernde Schmelzwasserbäche quellen, vom tauenden Permafrost zerrissene Gipfel und gigantische Moränenzüge – mit atemberaubenden Bildern visualisiert Bernhard Edmaier, wie der Klimawandel die Alpen verändert. Die 185 außergewöhnlichen Aufnahmen zeigen, welche Formenvielfalt dabei verloren geht, aber zugleich auch, was neu entsteht: farbige Seenlandschaften, vom Eis geschliffene Felsen oder wüstenhafte Schutthänge, von denen die Vegetation allmählich wieder Besitz ergreift.</div> <div> </div> <div> </div> <div> Die Autoren:</div> <div> </div> <div> Angelika Jung-Hüttl ist Wissenschaftspublizistin und Geologin. In knappen, präzisen Texten erklärt sie die Prozesse, die zu dem Landschaftswandel führen. In einem bebilderten Info-Teil beschreibt sie anschaulich das Entstehen und Vergehen von Gletschern und Permafrost, den Wechsel von Warm- und Kaltzeiten in den vergangenen Jahrtausenden sowie die Auswirkungen des Gletscherschwundes auf die Menschen.</div> <div> </div> <div> Bernhard Edmaier ist Fotograf und Geologe. Mit seinen abstrakt anmutenden Luftbildern, die hochkarätige Fotografie und Wissenschaft vereinen, hat er international Aufsehen erregt. Der im Rother Bergverlag erschienene Bildband »Kunstwerk Alpen« war ein großer Erfolg. Auch in diesem neuen Bildband setzt sich Edmaier auf besondere Weise mit den Kräften der Natur, welche unseren Planeten formen, auseinander.</div> <div> </div> <div> Nach dem großen Erfolg des Bildbandes Kunstwerk Alpen jetzt der neue Bildband des renommierten Fotografen Bernhard Edmaier.</div> <div> </div> <div> Einzigartige Luftaufnahmen und außergewöhnliche Fotografien – ein Bildband nicht nur für Bergliebhaber.</div>

<p> 8000er Fotoboek met veel achtergrond tekst van Reinhold Messner over alle 14 achtduizenders: Everest, K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho Oyu, Dhaulagri, Manaslu, Nanga Parbat, Annapurna, Gasherbrum I/Hidden Peak, Broad Peak, Gasherbrum II, Shisha Pangma.</p> <p> This is a peak by peak account of perhaps the greatest achievement of mountaineer Reinhold Messner - the ascent of the world's 14 8000 metre peaks between 1970 and 1986. The fourteen chapters describe the difficulties, tragedies and ultimate successes of the ascent of each peak. In these pages is the voice of a man suffering -loneliness, despair, hallucinations, the deaths of his brother and friends - but triumphing in the end - and the voice of a man conquering the barriers set up by nature. Messner has redefined the possibilities of high altitude climbing: he effectively pioneered the Alpine style in big peak climbing; climbed Everest without oxygen when scientists said this was impossible; and climbed Everest solo.</p>

<p> De Saigoku-pelgrimstocht is de belangrijkste, langste en zwaarste van alle bedevaarten die je in Japan kunt doen. De tocht loopt langs niet minder dan 33 boeddhistische tempels die alle aan Kannon, de godin van barmhartigheid zijn gewijd. Sommige tempels bevinden zich in en om Kyoto, de voormalige hoofdstad van het Heian-rijk (794-1185). Andere liggen hoog in de bergen of op een eiland en zijn moeilijk bereikbaar.</p> <p> Schrijver Cees Nooteboom en fotografe Simone Sassen hebben zich tweemaal gewaagd aan de pelgrimage naar het prachtige Saigoku. Het koppel reisde per bus, met de trein en te voet. Ze liepen kilometers ver en klommen soms well meer dan 800 trappen hoog. Simone Sassen fotografeerde de tempels in de verschillende seizoenen. Op die manier wist zij poëtische beelden van sneeuw, kersenbloesems en herfstbladeren vast te leggen. </p> <p> Sommige van de tempels die ze bezochten, dateren uit de Heian-tijd waardoor Nooteboom ze linkt aan de klassieke Japanse tekst <em>Het V<span style="font-size: 12px;">erhaal van Genji</span></em><span style="font-size: 12px;"> van Murasaki Shikibu. Dit verhaal werd geschreven rond het jaar 1000 en wordt beschouwd als de eerste echte roman in de literatuurgeschiedenis. </span></p> <p> <span style="font-size: 12px;">De wisselwerking tussen beeld en tekst resulteert in een unieke publicatie. Japan wordt in dit boek op zijn mooist geportretteerd.</span></p>

<p> <b>Paris... so familiar and yet surprising. In pastel shades and dazzling details like the palette of French Impressionism, Serge Ramelli presents a unique and personal photo homage to the City of Lights. With romance and history in her blood, Paris shows her tender side as never seen before.</b><br /> <br /> Only Paris offers the inimitable stage that can turn every photo into a film still. In its architectural splendor, its wealth of churches, palaces, parks, and grand boulevards, the city is peerless in its beauty and allure. Add to that a long, rich, and influential history, and this coveted capital is art in its purest form.<br /> <br /> From the Eiffel Tower and the Louvre, to Montmartre and Saint-Germain-des-Pres--the traces of painters and photographers and echoes of actors and movie directors can be found all over the city. In this exquisite Paris photo book, Serge Ramelli pays tribute to this unique legacy of art and culture, capturing the city's poetic flair. As in vintage postcards, with glowing street lights or only certain details in color in a black and white panorama, Ramelli accentuates particular picture elements to create a modern, 3D effect, while retaining a close connection to Parisian history.<br /> <br /> Vivid in one's memory or perhaps imagination, Ramelli collects rapturous moments with his camera--a brilliant firework display in front of the Eiffel Tower or the sight of the Pont Neuf amidst freshly fallen snow. In the beguiling blue hour, or a nuit (the magical light at sunrise and sunset), the photographer shows a kaleidoscope along the Seine that will delight all who have lived and loved in Paris.</p>

<p> "America the Beautiful' showcases the stunning spaces closest to our nation's heart--from the woods in the Great Appalachian Valley that Davy Crockett once called home to the breathtaking sweep of California's Big Sur coast to the wilds of Alaska. It also celebrates the people who have made this country what it is, featuring a wide range of images including the Arikara Nation in the early 1900s and scientists preparing for travel to Mars on a Hawaiian island. Culled from National Geographic's vaunted photo archives, spanning a period of more than 130 years, this provocative collection depicts the splendor of this great nation as only National Geographic can, with a dramatic combination of modern and historical imagery--from the creation of architectural icons like the Golden Gate Bridge and Lady Liberty to the last of the country's wild places preserved in our national parks. 0With a structure inspired by the original song "America the Beautiful," this book recognizes what makes our nation great, region by region. And all 50 states and six territories of the U.S. are honored with 50 words from celebrities, historians, activists, conservationists, and politicians who call America home. Profound and inspiring, this is a book for everyone who has ever marveled at the beauty of the United States." --Provided by publisher.</p>
