Michel Detay

Geological Wonders of Namibia (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This stunning depiction of geology in Namibia combines searingly beautiful photography with clear explanations of how the varied landscapes formed. Arranged chronologically (starting 13.8 billion years ago), the chapters each deal with a particular event or process that has resulted in the formation under discussion. These include the early beginnings of the Earth, meteorites, canyons and limestone caves, vast desert landscapes, moonscapes and bizarrely-shaped rocks, and Namibia's astonishing underwater lakes and reservoirs. Picture-driven, with accessible text, this book features all the highlights of Namibian landscapes and landforms. A treat for travellers real and virtual - those on the road as well as those in armchairs.

Autorenporträt

French couple Michel and Anne-Marie Detay live partly in the south of France, partly in Hong Kong and spend much time on the road as travel and nature photographers and writers. Both were involved in corporate careers for many years before fi nally deciding - out of concern for the planet - to get out into the wild to capture the vanishing wonders of today's natural world. Both individually and jointly they have published a range of books, papers and articles on travel, geology and the natural wonders of many regions, including Asia, Iceland, Ethiopia and Namibia.
