HISTORY | DEAR READERS, This fall, we have put together a dramatic lineup of beautiful books that will help you understand our complex and changing world. Leading the charge is Women: The National Geographic Image Collection, which portrays the female experience around the globe across 130 glorious years of photographic history. Launching NatGeo’s Year of the Woman initiative in 2020, it features penetrating interviews with a wide range of contemporary luminaries, including Oprah Winfrey, Nancy Pelosi, Jane Goodall, New Zealand prime minister Jacinda Ardern, and business titan Zhang Xin. In her introduction, Susan Goldberg, National Geographic’s first female editor-in-chief, puts these arresting images in context, providing definitive proof that the future is female. And that’s not all the photography we have on offer. This season, our beloved Joel Sartore, creator of National Geographic’s celebrated Photo Ark project, returns with Vanishing, his haunting exploration of the world’s most endangered species. Build your own photography collection using Sartore’s best tips, which can be found in our new how-to guide, Photo Basics. Meanwhile, as the holiday season approaches, get ready to pack your bags with inspiration from some of our most exciting travel titles yet. Epic Journeys provides the ultimate bucket list for thrill seekers and adventurers, whether it’s navigating class-five rapids in Guatemala or experiencing tantalizing dishes in Tokyo. Put it all in context with Geographic’s landmark Atlas of the World; the new eleventh edition, featuring a fresh design, updated infographics, and more than 500 glorious maps, hits the shelves this fall. Finally, when it comes to exploring the latest health trends, we have a winner in The Blue Zones Kitchen. In this lush cookbook, New York Times best-selling author Dan Buettner offers 100 recipes inspired by the Blue Zones—the regions of the world where people live the longest—to optimize your health and help you live to 100. Or, perhaps, far longer, as explained by veteran investigative journalist Chip Walter in Immortality, Inc., his compelling new narrative on Silicon Valley’s quest to extend human life indefinitely. As always, thank you for supporting National Geographic—our books and our mission.

  • February 26, 2021 Amazon Warehouse Workers In
    February 26, 2021 Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer, Alabama are voting to form a union with the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union (RWDSU). We are the writers of feature films and television series. All of our work is done under union contracts whether it appears on Amazon Prime, a different streaming service, or a television network. Unions protect workers with essential rights and benefits. Most importantly, a union gives employees a seat at the table to negotiate fair pay, scheduling and more workplace policies. Deadline Amazon accepts unions for entertainment workers, and we believe warehouse workers deserve the same respect in the workplace. We strongly urge all Amazon warehouse workers in Bessemer to VOTE UNION YES.

CLARISSA CAMPBELL ORR (ed.), Queenship in Europe 1660–1815: The Role of the Consort (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 2004), xvii + 419 pp. ISBN 0 521 81422 7. £60.00 ($100.00) During the past decade the literature on women at the European courts has grown rapidly. Queenship in Europe 1660–1815 is a wel- come addition to this expanding field of research and it appears as a natural extension of Clarissa Campbell Orr’s previous volume enti- tled Queenship in Britain, 1660–1837 (2002). Queenship in Europe consists of a fine introduction by the editor and fourteen essays on various consorts and/or mistresses. After a brief overview of the volume, this review will focus on Campell Orr’s introduction and a few selected papers that exemplify the strengths of the collection and reveal some of the difficulties that arise when court history is combined with gender history. In the first essay, Robert Oresko traces the life of the powerful Maria Giovanna Battista of Savoy-Nemours (1644–1724) with an emphasis on her regency and her extensive building projects.

  • The Misrepresented Road to Madame President: Media Coverage of Female Candidates for National Office
    THE MISREPRESENTED ROAD TO MADAME PRESIDENT: MEDIA COVERAGE OF FEMALE CANDIDATES FOR NATIONAL OFFICE by Jessica Pinckney A thesis submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Government Baltimore, Maryland May, 2015 © 2015 Jessica Pinckney All Rights Reserved Abstract While women represent over fifty percent of the U.S. population, it is blatantly clear that they are not as equally represented in leadership positions in the government and in private institutions. Despite their representation throughout the nation, women only make up twenty percent of the House and Senate. That is far from a representative number and something that really hurts our society as a whole. While these inequalities exist, they are perpetuated by the world in which we live, where the media plays a heavy role in molding peoples’ opinions, both consciously and subconsciously. The way in which the media presents news about women is not always representative of the women themselves and influences public opinion a great deal, which can also affect women’s ability to rise to the top, thereby breaking the ultimate glass ceilings. This research looks at a number of cases in which female politicians ran for and/or were elected to political positions at the national level (President, Vice President, and Congress) and seeks to look at the progress, or lack thereof, in media’s portrayal of female candidates running for office. The overarching goal of the research is to simply show examples of biased and unbiased coverage and address the negative or positive ways in which that coverage influences the candidate.

  • The Times of London How to Live a Long Life
    How to live a long life: A new movement promoting the benefits of growing old takes the world's 'longevity hotspots' as its inspiration. Francis Gilbert explores the secrets of the not-so-ancients Are we living in the age of the "oldie"? This week the veteran BBC broadcaster John Simpson -- who six years ago became a father again at the age of 61 -- hailed 65 as the new 55, declaring that being 65 now "is what being 55 seemed like back in 1967. If your health holds up, you ought to be able to keep active and involved until your eighties". He certainly doesn't need to look far for confirmation. At 76, film-maker and comedian Woody Allen is enjoying his biggest commercial success, 74-year-old Ridley Scott has just directed one of the summer's most expensive blockbusters, Prometheus, and 79-year-old Yoko Ono is enjoying more critical acclaim for her art than ever, with a new show at the Serpentine Gallery. Even in the sporting arena, old people are still competing: this month Arthur Gilbert (no relation) became the oldest athlete to complete a triathlon, at the age of 91. In other spheres it's clear that older people like Warren Buffett and the Queen continue to play pivotal roles in the worlds of business and politics. This said, older people get a largely negative press -- scarcely a day goes by without some dreary headline about our "ageing population". When I've canvassed people about whether they want to live to 100, many of them have reacted with horror, saying they couldn't think of anything worse.

  • Archons (Commanders) [NOTICE: They Are NOT Anlien Parasites], and Then, in a Mirror Image of the Great Emanations of the Pleroma, Hundreds of Lesser Angels
    A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES A R C H O N S HIDDEN RULERS THROUGH THE AGES WATCH THIS IMPORTANT VIDEO UFOs, Aliens, and the Question of Contact MUST-SEE THE OCCULT REASON FOR PSYCHOPATHY Organic Portals: Aliens and Psychopaths KNOWLEDGE THROUGH GNOSIS Boris Mouravieff - GNOSIS IN THE BEGINNING ...1 The Gnostic core belief was a strong dualism: that the world of matter was deadening and inferior to a remote nonphysical home, to which an interior divine spark in most humans aspired to return after death. This led them to an absorption with the Jewish creation myths in Genesis, which they obsessively reinterpreted to formulate allegorical explanations of how humans ended up trapped in the world of matter. The basic Gnostic story, which varied in details from teacher to teacher, was this: In the beginning there was an unknowable, immaterial, and invisible God, sometimes called the Father of All and sometimes by other names. “He” was neither male nor female, and was composed of an implicitly finite amount of a living nonphysical substance. Surrounding this God was a great empty region called the Pleroma (the fullness). Beyond the Pleroma lay empty space. The God acted to fill the Pleroma through a series of emanations, a squeezing off of small portions of his/its nonphysical energetic divine material. In most accounts there are thirty emanations in fifteen complementary pairs, each getting slightly less of the divine material and therefore being slightly weaker. The emanations are called Aeons (eternities) and are mostly named personifications in Greek of abstract ideas.
