And it was my privilege to listen.\"\u003c\/i\u003e --Sebastião Salgado\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastião Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward--though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer--the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who \"always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images,\" shot very little color in his early career before giving it up completely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaised on a farm in Brazil, Salgado possessed a deep love and respect for nature; he was also particularly sensitive to the ways in which human beings are affected by their often devastating socio-economic conditions. Of the myriad works Salgado has produced in his acclaimed career, three long-term projects stand out: \u003ci\u003eWorkers\u003c\/i\u003e (1993), documenting the vanishing way of life of manual laborers across the world; \u003ci\u003eMigrations\u003c\/i\u003e (2000), a tribute to mass migration driven by hunger, natural disasters, environmental degradation and demographic pressure; and this new opus, \u003ci\u003eGENESIS\u003c\/i\u003e, the result of an epic eight-year expedition to rediscover the mountains, deserts and oceans, the animals and peoples that have so far escaped the imprint of modern society--the land and life of a still-pristine planet. \"Some 46% of the planet is still as it was in the time of genesis,\" Salgado reminds us. \"We must preserve what exists.\" The \u003ci\u003eGENESIS\u003c\/i\u003e project, along with the Salgados' Instituto Terra, are dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet, reversing the damage done to it, and preserving it for the future.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOver 30 trips--traveled by foot, light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes, and even balloons, through extreme heat and cold and in sometimes dangerous conditions--Salgado created a collection of images showing us nature, animals, and indigenous peoples in breathtaking beauty. What does one discover in \u003ci\u003eGENESIS\u003c\/i\u003e? The animal species and volcanoes of the Galápagos; penguins, sea lions, cormorants, and whales of the Antarctic and South Atlantic; Brazilian alligators and jaguars; African lions, leopards, and elephants; the isolated Zo'é tribe deep in the Amazon jungle; the Stone Age Korowai people of West Papua; nomadic Dinka cattle farmers in Sudan; Nenet nomads and their reindeer herds in the Arctic Circle; Mentawai jungle communities on islands west of Sumatra; the icebergs of the Antarctic; the volcanoes of Central Africa and the Kamchatka Peninsula; Saharan deserts; the Negro and Juruá rivers in the Amazon; the ravines of the Grand Canyon; the glaciers of Alaska... and beyond. Having dedicated so much time, energy, and passion to the making of this work, Salgado calls GENESIS \"my love letter to the planet.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lélia Wanick Salgado","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46070899802181,"sku":"BS-LIB-403358","price":33.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2482\/2494\/files\/9783754403358-HD.jpg?v=1792478645","url":"https:\/\/libros787.com\/products\/sebastiao-salgado-genesis-45th-ed","provider":"Libros787.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
