[{"id":108362,"title":"White Paradise","subtitle":"Journeys to the North Pole","description":"Fragile, obdurate, and raw, the North Pole is perhaps the most spectacular -and delicate- geological gem. Since his first expedition in 1995 with the French adventurer Jean-Louis Etienne, Francis Latreille has used his incredible photographic talents to capture the dramatic consequences of global warming on the Far North regions. More than just a tableau of his fascination with this world and its way of life, White Paradise is a tribute to the North Pole, its inhabrtants, and its exceptional beauty and light\u003cbr\u003eEvery year, the ice field decreases in size, and the glaciers of Greenland retreat farther and farther from the south. During his missions to the North Pole, Latreille has met the inhabitants of these forbidding regions and discovered their environment and lifestyle; he has also witnessed, firsthand, the uncertainty of their future. In 1999, he documented the Mammuthus expedition, which unearthed Jarkov, a threeton mammoth that died more than twenty thousand years ago. Each morning when the sun rises above the blinding-white, crisp horizon, those lucky and rugged enough to have braved the punishing elements and ventured to the North Pole experience a living and breathing wonder. For the rest of us, we need look no further than Francis Latreille's stunningly beautiful White Paradise.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b110938.jpg","isbn":"960-7037-82-0","isbn13":"978-960-7037-82-4","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":null,"pages":231,"publication_year":2006,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":"63.0","price_updated_at":"2006-12-15","cover_type":null,"availability":"Κυκλοφορεί","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":null,"original_title":null,"publisher_id":590,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":110938,"url":"https://bibliography.gr/books/white-paradise.json"},{"id":108361,"title":"Λευκός παράδεισος","subtitle":"Ταξίδι στο Βόρειο Πόλο","description":"Ο Βόρειος Πόλος, το μαγευτικό αυτό βασίλειο της σιωπής, έδινε την εντύπωση ότι για πάντα θα έμενε αναλλοίωτο μέσα στην απεραντοσύνη των πάγων. Όμως το σύνολο των πάγων υποχωρεί, οι παγετώνες της Γροιλανδίας αποσπώνται και η μυθική αυτή έκταση, απειλούμενη από την άνοδο της θερμοκρασίας, σιγά σιγά καταστρέφεται. Από την πρώτη του αποστολή το 1987, ο Francis Latreille, με τις φωτογραφίες του, μας δίνει τη μαρτυρία του γι' αυτόν τον κόσμο. Συνάντησε τους κατοίκους αυτών των αφιλόξενων περιοχών και, πέρα από τον θαυμασμό του για την περιοχή τους και τον τρόπο ζωής τους, προσφέρει -στις παραμονές του τετάρτου Διεθνούς Έτους των Πόλων- έναν παλλόμενο φόρο τιμής στον Λευκό παράδεισο, σ' αυτούς που τον κατοικούν, στην επιστημονική έρευνα που έγινε στην Αρκτική και στο εξαιρετικό φως της.","image":"http://www.biblionet.gr/images/covers/b110937.jpg","isbn":"960-7037-83-9","isbn13":"978-960-7037-83-1","ismn":null,"issn":null,"series":null,"pages":231,"publication_year":2006,"publication_place":"Αθήνα","price":"63.0","price_updated_at":"2007-03-12","cover_type":"Σκληρό εξώφυλλο","availability":"Κυκλοφορεί","format":"Βιβλίο","original_language":"γαλλικά","original_title":null,"publisher_id":590,"extra":null,"biblionet_id":110937,"url":"https://bibliography.gr/books/leukos-paradeisos.json"}]
