Величественные ритуальные статуи острова Пасхи - это одна из величайших загадок человечества, как же поставили эти гигантские статуи на свое место? Это породило много разных теорий и гипотез. Творение богов, послание внеземных цивилизаций, как они попали сюда, что выражают их каменные лица.

It takes the Earth 24 hours to rotate around its axis, 7 rotations in a week, and 365 spins to make a ski film. The making of a ski film is not a hobby for us, but a way of life. Our talented group of athletes train year round, work odd jobs, and dream throughout the off season of what the upcoming season will bring. The filming season begins at the first sighting of snowflakes in November and comes to conclusion with the summer heat waves mid June. In 2008, Rage Films witnessed an unbelievable year that was unsurpassed by others as Rage won award after award, including Best Core Film at X-Dance and Best Film at IF3. Epic amounts of snow yielded huge jumps, gnarly lines and exploratory trips around the world. Athletes threw tricks they have never done before, break through performances were caught on film, and some just learned how to travel with dependents (even if it was a ferret), but most importantly, the ante was upped for progressive skiing and cinematography. This is a reflection on the dedication, perseverance, loyalty, and excitement the crew works for all year. Such is our lives. Such is life.

17 июня 1908 года в сибирской тайге произошла одна из самых грандиозных и загадочных катастроф в человеческой истории — чудовищной силы взрыв, по официальной версии вызванный падением Тунгусского метеорита. Однако до сих пор не стихают споры о том, что же это было на самом деле — природный феномен? авария инопланетного корабля? или дело человеческих рук? Данная книга убедительно обосновывает последнюю версию. Изучив все обстоятельства трагедии, проанализировав все научные гипотезы и свидетельства очевидцев, автор прямо указывает на главного "виновника" катастрофы - легендарного Николу Тесла.

Путешествие в дикие джунгли - пожалуй, один из самых экстремальных видов отдыха. Несмотря на внешнюю привлекательность этих уголков планеты, не каждый человек осмелится бросить вызов самому себе и, забыв о прелестях цивилизации, погрузиться в чарующий и опасный мир тропических лесов Амазонки, Конго и Борнео.

На страницах путеводителя вас ждут встречи с Цезарем, Карлом Великим, Филиппом Красивым, Людовиком XIV, кардиналом Ришелье, Марией Антуанеттой, Наполеоном, Жаком Шираком и даже Николя Саркози. Ну и конечно, со многими дрyгими, кто был причастен к французской истории, похожей на исторический блокбастер и романтическую сaгу одновременно.

Teton Gravity Research (TGR) presents OUT THERE film taking a progressive, fresh look at what faces the surf world today.

Издание было осуществлено благодаря поддержке датских научных организаций, вроде Датского Королевского научного общества, Фонда стипендии Акселя Йенсена и т.д

The final instalment takes the form of a journey along the Caribbean shore of Central America, which runs for 1700 miles from Panama to Mexico. The Panama Canal is 25m above sea level and relies on outflow from rivers in the surrounding rainforest to maintain the water level. Wildlife along the banks includes capybara, coatis and spider monkeys. The Bocas del Toro islands now lie a few miles off the coast of Panama, but were once part of the mainland. The mantled howler monkey is a mainland species stranded by the rising sea level. Others such as poison dart frogs are evolving into new forms, or adapting their behaviour; three-toed sloths have evolved to eat mangrove leaves and even swim between trees. Further north, coastal mangrove swamps are rich hunting grounds for two different creatures: white-faced capuchins are shown cracking open clam shells and Utila spiny-tailed iguanas catch fiddler crabs. Plankton blooms in the deep waters around the Bay Islands triggers a food chain. Whale sharks suck in mouthfuls of baitfish, and bonitos join the feast. Mexico’s limestone Yucatan peninsula is riddled with flooded caves, home to strange creatures including remipedes and isopods. Offshore, Terneffe is one of many coral atolls. Rare American crocodiles hatch in its sheltered mangroves, and magnificent frigatebirds mob red-footed boobies as they return to feed their chicks, forcing them to regurgitate their catch in mid air. The programme also features the indigenous Kuna people of the San Blas Islands, and the Miskitos of Honduras.

Around six hurricane-strength storms strike the Caribbean between June and November each year. This episode examines their impact on people and wildlife. Hurricane winds generate destructive waves which can cause catastrophic damage to offshore reefs. Some corals are tough enough to withstand the buffeting, but other are ripped up. However, providing they come to rest in a suitable location, even broken fragments can regenerate. Storm surges cause widespread damage to coastal developments and beaches, and sea turtles are particularly vulnerable. Four-fifths of the green turtle hatchlings on Grand Cayman were lost when Hurricane Ivan struck in 2004. Low-lying islands can be completely inundated by storm surges. The brown anoles of The Bahamas may well drown, but their eggs can survive submersion for six hours. Coastal mangroves provide an important natural buffer against hurricanes. Further inland, the plants and animals of the tropical forests have evolved strategies to survive hurricanes. Tabonuco trees fuse their roots together to form a solid anchor, and hummingbirds move to unaffected parts of the forest. A single extreme event can be devastating for species with a restricted range. In 1989, Hurricane Hugo decimated the Puerto Rican parrot population, leaving only three breeding pairs. By contrast, green iguanas have used floating debris to colonise new islands, showing that resilience and adaptability are the key to survival. With climate change scientists predicting more frequent and intense hurricanes in future, the ability of the Caribbean wildlife to survive and recover from them will be severely tested.

Сенсационное расследование главной тайны XX века! Новые данные о загадочном Филадельфийском эксперименте, в результате которого был телепортирован на сотни миль эсминец ВМФ США «Элдридж», а его экипаж погиб или сошел с ума. Все материалы этой трагедии засекречены до сих пор, однако молва связывает ее с именем Николы Тесла, который был вдохновителем и организатором «филадельфийского чуда», но сам до эксперимента не дожил — ходят слухи, что смерть великого ученого была не случайна, что он предупреждал об опасности, спорил с Эйнштейном, призывая отказаться от опытов на людях, и его заставили замолчать…
