Circa 30 milioni di civili rimasero uccisi durante il secondo conflitto mondiale e molti altri rimasero senza casa. Non si trattò infatti solo di un conflitto su scala globale, ma di una guerra totale che coinvolse tutti gli aspetti della vita umana. Le immagini di questo libro oltre a descrivere i combattenti e i campi di battaglia, i carri armati e gli aerei, i generali e i politici, forniscono anche un ritratto fedele dei campi di concentramento e delle fabbriche, degli operai e dei rifugiati, degli anziani, delle donne e dei bambini che divennero a loro volta obiettivi sensibili del 'fronte'.

La Seconda guerra mondiale è stata il conflitto più fotograficamente documentato della storia. Gli operatori dell'esercito e della stampa, le organizzazioni della propaganda e persino i soldati o i civili hanno documentato con la macchina fotografica i tumultuosi eventi del periodo tra il 1939 e il 1945. Le immagini che sono state catturate raccontano la sofferenza di molti e l'eroismo di pochi; le atroci crudeltà e la umana pietà che si oppone a ogni avversità; l'odio e il cameratismo; la miseria e la speranza. Queste immagini conservano ancora oggi la loro intensità e costituiscono la testimonianza vitale di un periodo straordinario. Quest'opera è una completa e scrupolosa raccolta fotografica di 900 immagini ad alta risoluzione, viva testimonianza dei più importanti teatri di guerra. Ricco di immagini memorabili, questo libro fornisce un'impareggiabile panoramica del periodo in cui i tre quarti del mondo erano entrati in guerra.

Aided by developments in shipbuilding, mapping, and astronomy, Europeans took to the oceans between the fifteenth and eighteenth centuries in search of spices, gold, and slaves. Voyages to Africa, Asia, the Americas, and the Pacific-and their legacies-are dramatically described here through an authoritative text and compelling images.

The golden age of exploration includes Columbus's first voyage to America in 1492, John Cabot and the Northwest Passage, Magellan's circumnavigation of the globe, and the exploration of the South Pacific.

Economics sometimes seems to be stacked against social, environmental and individual well-being. But it doesn't have to be like this. A new approach to economics - deriving as much from Ruskin and Schumacher as from Keynes or Smith - has begun to emerge. Skeptical about money as a measure of success, this new economics turns our assumptions about wealth and poverty upside down. It shows us that real wealth can be measured by increased well-being and environmental sustainability rather than just having and consuming more things. This book is the first accessible and straightforward guide to the new economics. It describes the problems and bizarre contradictions in conventional economics as well as the principles of the emerging new economics, and it tells the real-world stories of how new economics is being successfully put into practice around the world. An essential guide to understanding new economics for all those who care about making economics work for people and planet.
