National Geographic Live! events feature entertaining and visually spectacular presentations by the world's leading explorers, scientists, photographers, and naturalists. Now available on DVD and enhanced by award-winning images, this volume showcases the dynamic live presentations by leading explorers George & David Stuart and Bülent Atalay
Palenque and the Ancient Maya World
In the 3,000 years between 1500 B.C. and A.D.1500, the Maya created one of the most distinctive and accomplished civilizations in the Americas. Among the best known of the ancient Maya capitals was Lakamha–better known by its Spanish name, Palenque–which foremost Maya experts George and David Stuart describe as being perhaps "the greatest archeological discovery in the Americas." This dynamic father–son team, having completed two decades of work at the site and currently distilling their finding into an upcoming illustrated book, will tell the compelling story of Palenque–its rulers, unique social structure, worldviews, and enduring architecture and offer their keen insights into the Classic Maya Culture.
Leornardo's Universe
A man whose very name is synonymous with genius, Leonardo Da Vinci created some of the supreme masterworks of Western art, carried out cutting-edge scientific research, and dreamed of inventions that would not be built until centuries later. In the new National Geographic book Leonardo's Universe, author Bülent Atalay–himself both a scientist and artist–offers a comprehensive look at Leonardo, his work, and his world. Atalay will explain how Leonardo applied mathematical concepts such as the "divine proportion" to his art, show fully workable re-creations of Leonardo's inventions built by IBM in the 1960's, and explain the many ways in which this enigmatic genius has influenced our world. Atalay is also the author of Math and the Mona Lisa: The Art and Science of Leonardo Da Vinci, now in eleven languages.
