The year 2008 was jolted by a rush of historic events. In the U.S., voters were absorbed by one of the most exciting presidential campaigns in recent history, as Arizona Senator John McCain weathered an apparent 2007 flame-out to capture the gop nomination for President, then startled the nation by naming the littleknown governor of Alaska, Sarah Palin, as his running mate. A long, tense struggle between two Democrats, first-term Illinois Senator Barack Obama and New York Senator Hillary Clinton, ended in victory for Obama, who went on to make history on Nov. 4 when he beat McCain to become the first African American to win the presidency. The election was staged against a backdrop of ongoing crisis, as the U.S. and other nations were rocked by economic turmoil. Subprime mortgage woes spawned a flurry of foreclosure notices, and the resulting credit crunch caused banks to collapse and markets to crash until the U.S. government intervened with a massive, controversial rescue package designed to steady the economy. But not all skies were cloudy in 2008: the Beijing Olympic Games offered a fascinating spectacle of China as a booming new world power and provided two electrifying superstars in U.S. swimmer Michael Phelps and Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt. These indelible stories and many more - including the deaths of Hollywood icon Paul Newman, rising star Heath Ledger and respected broadcaster Tim Russert-are featurein this beautifully illustrated volume, which captures the year 2008 in all its joy, sorrow and exhilaration.

Here is a book designed to inspire the heart, challenge the mind, delight the eye, engage the armchair traveler and, yes, encourage your bootheels to be wanderin'. The editors of Time have sought out the most exciting new discoveries in the fields of geography, paleontology, astronomy and archaeology and combined them with classic tales of exploration to present a book that is vast in scope and pulsing with the energy of fresh knowledge. It includes the latest updates on the fascinating fossilized dinosaur-birds of China; reports of revelatory recent digs in Egypt; and an overview of new findings from the swarm of craft now investigating Mars, Jupiter and the moons of Saturn. The book's journey takes us from Siberia's Yamal Peninsula, where the 40,000-year-old carcass of the baby mammoth Lyuba emerged from the permafrost, to a mysterious cave on Indonesia's island of Flores, where an unusual species of miniature early humans, dubbed "the hobbits," once lived. The cast of striking characters includes the brilliant Chinese paleontologist Xing Xu, Egypt's famed tomb-raider Zahi Hawass-and nasa's plucky Martian rovers, Opportunity and Spirit. Readers will be surprised to learn how much new information has emerged in recent years about subjects we thought we knew well, from the wreck of the Titanic to the mysteries of the Pueblo cliff-dwellers of the American Southwest. In addition to its probing, wide-ranging account of great discoveries past and present, the book offers a host of arresting photographs that create a spectacular visual panorama of Planet Earth's most powerful forces and most exotic regions. Welcome aboard-and bon voyage!
