It's all here: 30,year-old cave art sealed from the public; animals that are among the last of their species on Earth; volcanic lightning; giant crystals that have grown to more than 50 tons; the engraving inside Abraham Lincoln's pocket watch. With an introduction by National Geographic photographer Stephen Alvarez, whose work has taken him from the Peruvian Andes to the deepest caves of Papua New Guinea, Rarely Seen captures once-in-a-lifetime moments, natural wonders, and little-seen objects from the far reaches of the globe. He has been a National Geographic photographer since She has written 16 books, from literary history to personal memoir. Which is valuable input! The girls are onto me and my wanting to "connect" with them so they are having none of it. Poor sports. Considering leaving porn on the table and seeing if they react. This book is everything you think it will be plus more. Breath-taking landscapes and also images of our current tech world that are rarely seen thinking of Obama's 3-D portrait and make me appreciate the very weird place we live in. If I won the lottery, I'd buy this book in a heart beat.

  • COOKEVILLE CAVER FEATURED in NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Megan
    COOKEVILLE CAVER FEATURED IN NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC Megan Trotter Herald•Citizen Staff, Cookeville, TN Sunday, Jun 14, 2009 Kristen Bobo prepares to go down into a cave. Cookeville is getting national coverage this month in National Geographic Magazine, thanks to Cookeville resident Kristen Bobo. Bobo is a caver who has explored more than 700 caves all over the country and many right here in Tennessee. "I certainly wouldn't call it a hobby. It is my life. I work in caves; I play in caves," said Bobo. She not only surveys caves for the private and public sector, she also is one of the leading cave gate builders in the United States, having built more than 50 of the gates that keep out those who would steal or destroy the caves' valuables like ancient human footprints, pottery or the delicate animals and organisms that live there. It's not easy work. Just exploring the caves is a profession filled with danger. Bobo has broken multiple bones, suffered from hypothermia and even broken her back after a particularly nasty fall. Yet she still can't resist returning underground where she has seen beautiful cave formations, prehistoric cave drawings and even ancient burial grounds. Though the article in National Geographic is in the June edition of the magazine, the interview actually took place about a year ago, Bobo says. The author of the article, Mark Jenkins, called her one day and told her that he had heard she was doing "some great stuff over here" and wanted a first hand look at her caveing journeys.
