"In GENESIS, my camera allowed nature to speak to me. And it was my privilege to listen." --Sebastião Salgado

On a very fortuitous day in 1970, 26-year-old Sebastião Salgado held a camera for the first time. When he looked through the viewfinder, he experienced a revelation: suddenly life made sense. From that day onward--though it took years of hard work before he had the experience to earn his living as a photographer--the camera became his tool for interacting with the world. Salgado, who "always preferred the chiaroscuro palette of black-and-white images," shot very little color in his early career before giving it up completely.

Raised on a farm in Brazil, Salgado possessed a deep love and respect for nature; he was also particularly sensitive to the ways in which human beings are affected by their often devastating socio-economic conditions. Of the myriad works Salgado has produced in his acclaimed career, three long-term projects stand out: Workers (1993), documenting the vanishing way of life of manual laborers across the world; Migrations (2000), a tribute to mass migration driven by hunger, natural disasters, environmental degradation and demographic pressure; and this new opus, GENESIS, the result of an epic eight-year expedition to rediscover the mountains, deserts and oceans, the animals and peoples that have so far escaped the imprint of modern society--the land and life of a still-pristine planet. "Some 46% of the planet is still as it was in the time of genesis," Salgado reminds us. "We must preserve what exists." The GENESIS project, along with the Salgados' Instituto Terra, are dedicated to showing the beauty of our planet, reversing the damage done to it, and preserving it for the future.

Over 30 trips--traveled by foot, light aircraft, seagoing vessels, canoes, and even balloons, through extreme heat and cold and in sometimes dangerous conditions--Salgado created a collection of images showing us nature, animals, and indigenous peoples in breathtaking beauty. What does one discover in GENESIS? The animal species and volcanoes of the Galápagos; penguins, sea lions, cormorants, and whales of the Antarctic and South Atlantic; Brazilian alligators and jaguars; African lions, leopards, and elephants; the isolated Zo'é tribe deep in the Amazon jungle; the Stone Age Korowai people of West Papua; nomadic Dinka cattle farmers in Sudan; Nenet nomads and their reindeer herds in the Arctic Circle; Mentawai jungle communities on islands west of Sumatra; the icebergs of the Antarctic; the volcanoes of Central Africa and the Kamchatka Peninsula; Saharan deserts; the Negro and Juruá rivers in the Amazon; the ravines of the Grand Canyon; the glaciers of Alaska... and beyond. Having dedicated so much time, energy, and passion to the making of this work, Salgado calls GENESIS "my love letter to the planet."INSTITUTO TERRAFounded in 1998 at Aimorés in the state of Minas Gerais, Instituto Terra is the culmination of Lélia Wanick Salgado and Sebastião Salgado's lifelong activism and work as cultural documentarians. Through a scientific program of planting and raising saplings, the organization has performed a miraculous reforestation of the once infertile region and furthered the Salgados' mission of reversing the damage done to our planet. TASCHEN is proud to reach carbon zero status through our continued partnership.

Very happy with the way this bra fits, feels, and looks!
Size: 38C, Color: Sargasso
38C size I am really happy with this bra. It has good coverage. Nothing spills out. It is two layers of fabric but no padding and no foam lining, so it does prevent some show-through but doesn't add bulk or size. It is slightly minimizing--maybe 1/2 inch off my bust, but doesn't smash me flat. It keeps good separation and support. The shoulder straps also stay in place! I get so tired of putting straps back on my shoulders that slide off over and over. The color is gorgeous. I may order more. I want to see how this holds up after washing and wearing several times, but it's beautiful and so far, I love it!

I’m freaking out DONT BUY THIS BRA
Size: 44F, Color: Cameo Heather, Size: 44F, Color: Cameo Heather
Back story- I ordered this bra like 4 times in 3 different sizes because I loved the look/feel of it but didn’t know my size after having my son & nursing. I returned 2 because they didn’t fit, then I got this size and was SURE it was going to be the right size, I opened the package & threw it on, realized the underwire had broken through the fabric and was so upset because I finally found the right size & it was broken GAHHHH. When looking at the underwire I noticed it looked a little worn in that area. The fabric looked like it was balling up. (during this time I was wearing the bra) I took it off to examine it further and realized I WAS SENT A VERY USED, BROKEN IN BRA. While gagging and realizing I had just put someone else’s boob juice all over me, I noticed just how bad the wearing was on it actually was. I am disgusted, literally gagging over putting on a random persons sweaty, dirty bra that most likely had boob sweat and god only knows what else. Do not purchase from them, clearly they have issues with the underwire breaking through & sending someone a VERY USED BRA? come on…. I’m mortified

Sharp underwire!
Size: 38F, Color: Black
I love the fit, support and minimizing of this bra…but the underwires are a nightmare. The ends are very sharp and rip through the fabric. I have repaired it several times and even put little rubber caps on the sharp ends of the underwire before sewing it closed. I wore it two more times and the underwire poked through the rubber and fabric. It sucks to finally find a bra that I love the fit only to be repeatedly poked by a sharp wire.

Stylish and practical backpack for work and travel
Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch, Color: Upgrade-apricot, Size: 15.6 Inch
For both everyday work and travel, this bag has proven to be an excellent option. I can feel secure bringing my computer around because to the 15.6-inch laptop compartment's solid fit and ample padding. Notebooks, chargers, and a few personal belongings can fit in the spacious main compartment without feeling crowded. The apricot color looks polished but still casual enough to wear outside of work, and I really enjoy the sleek and fashionable shape. Even when the bag is completely packed, the straps remain comfy, and the stitching seems sturdy. I particularly enjoy that there are several pockets, including smaller ones for a phone, pencils, or keys. It makes everything accessible and well-organized. If the material gets a bit dusty while traveling, it washes clean and the zippers open smoothly. It is lightweight, adaptable, and functions well as a carry-on, purse-style bag, or business backpack. All things considered, it's a good everyday bag that is both practical and stylish.
