 EleArt - Elefantes e Arte em Viagem é uma obra cujo foco incide sobre a vida selvagem em ligação com a história humana, nomeadamente no que concerne à relação entre elefantes e arte rupestre San. A investigação pretende contribuir para a salvaguarda da vida natural e da cultura artística através do conhecimento, preservação e difusão de um legado vivo e único. Correlacionando a viagem elefantina e a sua ascendência na representação pictórica pelo povo San/Bosquímanos, EleArt propõe-se iluminar parte de uma relação prístina inspirando e impulsionando ações efetivas de educação e regeneração capazes de alavancar uma conservação animal e cultural de impacto positivo e memorável. Com prefácio de John Parkington e Ian Harmer o volume, de edição bilingue, é composto por dezenas de fotografias que ilustram a relação multissecular entre elefantes e povo San, ou seja, entre os denominados Filhos do Vento e o maior mamífero terrestre.

This Way Up - When Maps Go Wrong (And Why It Matters)

by Map Men

~~22,97€~~ 18,38€ 20% OFF

free shipping

 Mark and Jay - also known as The Map Men - are an online sensation, whose irreverent and hilarious videos have charmed and captivated millions around the world. Now they bring you their debut book, all about the world’s worst maps. Some are decades old, some are centuries old, and some are so recent they’re still being published today (or yesterday, if you’re reading this tomorrow). They include world maps, colonial maps, corporate maps, Soviet maps, pioneer maps, news maps and maps whose intended use was hijacked for a French surrealist political movement in the 1950s. Whether you’re an avid map junkie or simply ‘map-curious’, each chapter uncovers a unique tale of adventure, error and unexpected humour - as they attempt to answer the question: ‘What on earth happened here? ’ So, ditch the compass (or disable location services) and set out into a world of cartographic chaos and mappy mishaps. Because the worst maps are the best maps.
