Michael Martin Knihy

Unendliche Weite, einzigartige Schönheit, nahezu unberührte Natur – seit mehr als 35 Jahren bereist der Abenteurer, Fotograf und Geograf Michael Martin die Wüsten der Erde und entdeckt immer wieder neue Seiten dieses faszinierenden Lebensraums. Atemberaubende Dünen und karge Gebirgslandschaften oder die überraschend breite Palette an menschlichem, tierischem und pflanzlichem Leben sind nur einige der vielen Facetten, die den Reiz der Wüste ausmachen. Sind Oasen tatsächlich nur ein paar Dattelpalmen rund um eine Wasserstelle? Weshalb ertrinken mehr Menschen in der Wüste als darin verdursten? Und warum gäbe es ohne die Sahara keinen Amazonas-Regenwald? Michael Martin schöpft aus seinem reichen Erfahrungsschatz und seinem umfassenden Wissen und lässt uns eintauchen in eine Welt voller Wunder und Geheimnisse. In der Stille, der Einsamkeit und der Reduktion dieser Welt erkennt er ein Gegenkonzept zu unserem reizüberfluteten Leben. Erstaunlich, erhellend, bisweilen unglaublich! Ausstattung: mit 32 S. Bildteil

From the Rub al-Khali and the Sinai to the Great Sandy, the Great Basin and the Kalahari, Michael Martin, an internationally renowned photographer, has travelled through every desert on Earth, crossing Asia, Australia, the Americas and Africa, to compile this beautifully photographed volume. Far from being bleak and barren wastelands, these deserts boast natural features of staggering beauty. Afghanistan’s Bamian region is notable for its deep turquoise lakes set amidst towering, rocky mountains. The Danakil’s unnamed volcanoes glow in the Ethiopian night, while Chile’s Atacama region harbours geysers that can erupt at any moment. In addition to these awe-inspiring landscapes, Martin introduces us to the stoic peoples who eke out an existence in such inhospitable environments.

"In his latest work, Sophia in Exile, Michael Martin explores the great themes of Sophiology—among them Creation and creativity, ontology and eschatology, poetic metaphysics and marriage—and calls into question the technocratic assumptions and commitments of the Zeitgeist. Using the tools of philosophy, theology, literary criticism, and autobiography, this probing text opens the sophianic core of the adventure of being fully human."--Publisher information
