100 DAYS THAT SHOOK THE WORLD

Just out is "100 Days in Photographs: Pivotal Events That Changed the World" ($35). National Geographic teamed up with archival photo firm Getty Images to create a visual ride through history, from the opening of London's Great Exhibition in 1851 to Hurricane Katrina in 2005. Concise text about the event illuminate the past. Some dates and events are familiar — Dec. 7, 1941, is included, of course — others less so, such as a shot of a man crossing Peru's Urubamba river. He was one of the guides who led Hawai'i-born explorer Hiram Bingham III to his "discovery" of Macchu Picchu. "The road runs through a land of matchless charm. It has ... the startling beauty of Nuuanu Pali near Honolulu, and the enchanting vistas of the Koolau Ditch Trail on Maui, in my native land," reads a note from Bingham's account of his expedition.

FINAL WORD

"Obviously, the fashions have changed. But to me, that same ethic operates today. I think today, he would want to be part of a corporation rather than a buccaneer on his little pirate ship by himself."
