   Eine fotografische Reise durch die Historie einer Weltstadt Samuel Johnson hat einmal gesagt: „Wenn ein Mann Londons berdrssig ist, ist er des Lebens berdrssig.“ Hunderte von Fotos aus Archiven in aller Welt illustrieren die Geschichte dieser einzigartigen Stadt, ihre Architektur, ihre Wahrzeichen, ihren Stil, ihr Flair – und natrlich ihre unerschtterlichen Bewohner. London mag eine ausufernde, stndig wachsende Metropole sein; doch durch alle historischen Hhen und Tiefen sind der Humor, der Charakter und der Kampfgeist seiner Menschen stets unverndert geblieben. Dieses Buch feiert sie und ihre Stadt. Neben grandiosen Fotografien (viele davon bislang unverffentlicht) wird Londons Geschichte auch durch lebendige Essays, unzhlige Quotes und Verweise auf Filme, Musikalben und literarische Werke erzhlt, in denen oder fr die London eine Rolle spielte.

   A photographic journey through the history of the world's greatest city New York's remarkable rise, reinvention and growth is not just the tale of a city, but the story of a nation. From the building of the Brooklyn Bridge to the immigrants arriving at Ellis Island; from the slums of the Lower East Side to the magnificent art deco skyscrapers. The urban beach of Coney Island and the sleaze of Times Square; the vistas of Central Park and the crowds on 5th Avenue. The streets, the sidewalks, the chaos, the energy, the ethnic diversity, the culture, the fashion, the architecture, the anger and the complexity of the city is all laid out in this beautiful book block and block. This is the greatest city of the world after all and great are its extremes, contradictions and attitude. More than just a tribute to the metropolis and its civic, social, and photographic heritage, New York: Portrait of a City pays homage to the indomnitable spirit of those who call themselves New Yorkers: full of hope and strength, resolute in their determination to succeed among its glass and granite towers.

   A photographic journey through the history of this epic city Samuel Johnson famously said that: When a man is tired of London, he is tired of life. London is a vast sprawling metropolis, constantly evolving and growing, yet throughout its complex past and shifting present, the humor, unique character, and bulldog spirit of the people have stayed constant. This book salutes all those Londoners, their city, and its history. From Victorian London to the Swinging 60s; from the Battle of Britain to Punk; from the Festival of Britain to the 2012 Olympics; from the foggy cobbled streets to the architectural masterpieces of the millennium; from rough pubs to private drinking clubs; from Royal Weddings to raves, from the charm of the East End to the wonders of the Westminster; from Chelsea girls to Hoxton hipsters; from the power to glory: in page after page of stunning photographs, reproduced big and bold like the city itself, London at last gets the photographic tribute it deserves.

Our trans-continental trip starts in the Americas and Antarctica (Volume 1); we then cross the Atlantic to Europe and Africa (Volume 2); and finally sail the Indian Ocean to Asia and Oceania (Volume 3). From evocative early black-and-white pictures to autochromes, from the golden age of Kodachromes to digital, National Geographic invented the aesthetic of the photo essay, while pushing the technical boundaries of the medium. Readers will discover how the magazine evolved from presenting a romantic view of the world — subjects posed and smiling — to edgier stories reflecting political turmoil, social issues, and environmental threats. Of course, the journey would not be complete without prime examples of the magazine's revered groundbreaking underwater and wildlife photography, so we've included plenty of such treasures as well.
