A beautifully illustrated selection of stories about the lighthouses and their guardians found in some of the most remote places on earth.A Financial Times Travel Book of the Year 2023 Illuminating - The ObserverThere is something beautiful and wild in the impossible architecture of lighthouses.

Atlas of Nepal in the Modern World - Michael Sill
Nepal is associated, in most people s imagination, with Everest (Sagarmatha to the Nepalese), vivid plants and picturesque villages and people. The truth, as always, is other. It is one of the poorest countries in the world, surrounded by big and powerful neighbours. It is immensely diverse, ranging from the great mountains to the north through the trans-Himalaya, a high barren plateau, through the deep valleys, which include the one which contains the ancient cities of Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur, to the Terai which is an extension of Ganges plain. This atlas describes not only the complexity of the environment, but the people, the languages, the towns and industries, the agriculture, food and land management, the natural resources, the effects of tourism, sources of energy, transport and education policies.Originally published in 1991

Atlas of Forgotten Places - Travis Elborough
Explore the places that time forgot. These abandoned, mysterious, sleeping monuments around the world have been relegated to the margins of history. From ancient ruins and crumbling castles to more recent relics – an art deco New York subway station, a Soviet ghost town in the Arctic Circle, a flooded Thai mall teeming with aquatic life – Travis Elborough takes you on a journey into these strange, overlooked, and disappearing worlds and immortalizes them in this book of original maps, accompanied by moving historic and geographic accounts of each site. The featured locations are a stark reminder of what was, and the accounts in this investigative book help to bring their stories back to life, telling us what happened, when and why, and to whom. The book features 40 sites, including: Santa Claus, Arizona, USA: A festive tourist resort-turned-ghost town deep in the desert where you could once meet Santa Claus any day of the year; Crystal Palace Subway, London, UK: One of the city’s best-kept secrets is an underground, cathedral-like relic that many Victorian commuters bustled through; Montserrat, West Indies: The small Caribbean island with a population of 5,000 that was evacuated when its volcano erupted in 1995. The volcano is still active, and nearly half the island remains a designated exclusion zone; Balaklava Submarine Base, Crimea: The former top-secret Soviet submarine base that was kept off all official maps and known as Object 825 GTS; Volterra Psychiatric Hospital, Tuscany, Italy: Once dubbed ‘the place of no return’, this long-closed lunatic asylum once housed 6,000 patients who were never allowed to leave. From eerie ghost towns to epic undersea monuments, armchair travelers and adventure seekers will be captivated by this curious atlas of strange and surreal abandoned sites across the world. It follows on from the success of the award-winning title Atlas of Vanishing Places, and forms part of an atlas series that offers lesser-known histories of hidden, fascinating locations worldwide.Also in the Unexpected Atlas series: Atlas of Improbable Places, Atlas of Untamed Places, Atlas of the Unexpected and Atlas of Vanishing Places (WINNER Illustrated Book of the Year - Edward Stanford Travel Writing Awards 2020).

Atlas anatomie člověka I. - Končetiny, stěna trupu / Atlas of Human Anatomy I. - Limbs, Body Wall - Ondřej Naňka, Miloš Grim, Ivan Helekal
Poprvé od roku 1900 je zde originální domácí anatomický atlas. Dvojdílný komplet s téměř 1300 ilustracemi a fotografiemi. Kniha na celý život v latině, češtině a angličtině. Pracovníci Anatomického ústavu 1. LF UK v Praze tak navazují na bohatou tradici české anatomie. V prvním dílu atlasu je obsaženo 476 ilustrací anatomie horní a dolní končetiny a stěny trupu. Vždy je uveden nejprve skelet, pak jeho spoje a klouby, dále svaly a nakonec poloha a průběh nervů a cév v rámci topografické anatomie. Atlas tvoří anatomické obrazy a schémata (413) a snímky (63) pořízené některou ze zobrazovacích metod (RTG, CT, MRI). Anatomické útvary jsou popsány v mezinárodní Terminologia Anatomica (1998) a každou ilustraci doprovází vysvětlující text v latině, češtině a angličtině. Je připojen slovník nejčastějších latinských anatomických termínů a jejich překlad do češtiny a angličtiny. Didaktická a přehledná kniha je určena medikům a lékařům všech oborů, studentům přírodních věd i mnohým pracovníkům nelékařských zdravotnických oborů. Ocení ji jistě i výtvarníci, pracovníci v oblasti tělesné výchovy a sportu a v mnoha dalších odvětvích. Je využit bohatý obrazový materiál z archivu Ústavu, který jeho výtvarníci zhotovili na podkladě originálních preparátů připravených anatomy několika generací, počínaje rokem 1915. Řada těchto ilustrací nebyla dosud publikována moderními reprodukčními technikami. V současné době bylo možné se k nim vrátit, převést je do elektronické podoby a s pomocí počítačového zpracování obrazu je restaurovat, doplnit a připravit k barevné reprodukci. Atlas tak úročí mnohaletou historii pražské anatomické školy, která byla vždy spojena s přípravou anatomických ilustrací profesionálními výtvarníky. Zároveň byla použita řada nových originálních ilustrací doplněných o snímky získané moderními zobrazovacími metodami. * * * The first volume of this atlas is dedicated to anatomy of the upper and lower limb and body wall. The individual chapters start with description of the skeleton followed by joints and muscles, and finally is shown the course of nerves and vessels in the topographical context. In total, the atlas contains 476 images, of which 413 are anatomical images and schemes and 63 are results of medical imaging (X-ray, CT, MRI). Anatomical entities are described using current international terminology, Terminologia Anatomica (1998). Each plate is accompanied by explanatory text in Czech/Latin and English, to increase its versatility for students of different backgrounds. Attached is also a glossary of most frequently used Greco-Latin anatomical terms with their Czech and English equivalents. The atlas is mainly destined for students of medicine, who are learning anatomy also through the study of images and drawing, for physicians of various specializations, students of natural sciences as well as those working in non-medical health related occupations.

Atlas of the Heart - Brené Brown
In her latest book, five-time #1 New York Times bestselling author Dr Brené Brown, writes, If we want to find the way back to ourselves and each other, we need language and the grounded confidence to both tell our stories, and to be stewards of the stories that we hear. This is the framework for meaningful connection. In Atlas of the Heart, Brown takes us on a journey through 87 of the emotions and experiences that define what it means to be human. As she maps the necessary skills and lays out an actionable framework for meaningful connection, she gives us the language and tools to access a universe of new choices and second chances - a universe where we can share and steward the stories of our bravest and most heart-breaking moments with one another in a way that builds connection.Over the past two decades, Brown s extensive research into the experiences that make us who we are has shaped the cultural conversation and helped define what it means to be courageous with our lives. Atlas of the Heart draws on this research, as well as Brown s singular skills as a researcher/storyteller, to lay out an invaluable, research-based framework that shows us that naming an experience doesn t give the experience more power, it gives us the power of understanding, meaning and choice.Brown shares, I want this to be an atlas for all of us, because I believe that, with an adventurous heart and the right maps, we can travel anywhere and never fear losing ourselves. Even when we have no idea where we are.
