文化符號
月球在天空中運行,明亮的圓盤形狀有著週期性的變化,從新月(全暗的)、弦月(部份明亮)、凸月(大部分是明亮的)到滿月(全亮的)然後再回到新月,周而復始。數萬年來,許多文化依循著月相的循環,這些規律記錄提供了計算時間的方法。
月相從新月、滿月再回到新月,一個完整循環約29.5天,約一個月。事實上,一個「月」的名稱就是來 Maklumat lanjut
記憶是什麼?
讓我們知道自己是誰、學習與發展的基礎
記憶與我們的情緒、身體的感覺,以及身處的環境是有關聯的,記憶讓我們知道自己是誰,並且幫助我們預測未來,並導引我們走向未來的方向。如果沒有記憶,你將無法學習與發展,因為所有的學習是建立在之前學到的知識之上。和許多人所知不同的是,記憶並不是儲存在一個像櫃子一樣的地方、需要找 Maklumat lanjut
透晰小蛙
玻璃蛙這種小巧而透明的兩生類分布於中南美洲,渾身充滿了驚喜。無月的夏日夜晚,在厄瓜多的安地斯山山腳下,一隻小巧的雄玻璃蛙蹲踞在一片懸垂於溪流上方的葉子上。牠選擇了最棒的地段,嘗試吸引雌蛙,利用高亢的叫聲宣告自己的存在。問題在於,光是對的地點不足以成事。這隻黃綠色的兩生類一直在觀察交配過的雄蛙是怎麼做的,因此當 Maklumat lanjut
【花紋】螺旋、條紋、對稱。在大自然各處,花紋有助於動物融入環境或突顯自身。
在些特別醒目;有些保持低調。有些展露無遺,有些則融入環境。我們最喜歡的一些動物以花紋為其特色。沒了條紋,牠們還稱得上是老虎或斑馬嗎?
如果要拿花紋在色彩方面較勁,鳥類似乎拔得頭籌。五彩唐加拉雀、紅冠蕉鵑、綠背點斑雀,當然還有金剛鸚鵡:這些鳥類都盡 Maklumat lanjut

我從2003年開始擔任國家地理學會的駐會考古學家。在擔任這個角色時,我有機會拜訪許多神奇的地方:埃及的圖坦卡門之墓、青銅時代希臘的邁錫尼國王埋葬之處,還有中美洲的精采馬雅神廟,這只是其中幾個。在所有這些歷史遺跡、人類成就紀念碑,以及時間的見證之中,沒有哪一處給我的衝擊像耶路撒冷舊城區的聖墓 Maklumat lanjut
封面故事:許多人把2020年視為他們歷來最有挑戰的一年:新冠病毒全球大流行,還有族群與政治的紛爭。然而到了2021年,問題依然存在甚至更加嚴重了。
當我們瀏覽過《國家地理》2021年影像資料庫中的190萬張照片檔案後,深刻認為我們無法以一張照片來代表2021年,於是我們精選出四張照片,分別彰顯未來必須持續關注的四大問題:新冠肺炎、氣候、衝突、保育 Maklumat lanjut
在還沒有披薩外送、冷凍食品,以及自助結帳櫃台之前,人們原本就都是自「煮」生活。雜貨店裡沒賣的東西,全部得親手在家裡用簡單的食材或是材料製做,別無選擇。當時人們都知道如何做出各種食物、如何培育可供食用的動、植物,人們親手縫紉、編織以及釀造,對各個季節的魅力了然於心。
無庸置疑的是,時代已經改變,超市取代了雜貨店,貨架上擺 Maklumat lanjut

一場疾病的全球大流行,使人類全體共同努力,讓醫學朝著未來飛速前進。我們的一切努力都證明了人類能夠彼此合作,以極快的速度製造出的有效疫苗,減緩新型冠狀病毒所引起的新冠肺炎(COVID-19,正式名稱為嚴重特殊傳染性肺炎)重症發生率,同時幫助減緩疫情擴散。儘管目前我們用來製造新冠疫苗的技術,其實已 Maklumat lanjut
【國家公園50周年】
50年後,國家公園如何提升社會價值?國家公園需要地方守護、在地居民的參與,成為保育、教育、研究的基地,也成為旅遊的目的地。

規模龐大的戰爭
「珍珠港遭到空襲。這不是演習。」1941年12月7日,當這則緊急訊息從檀香山傳到華盛頓特區的時候,就算是那些本來就預期日本會跟美國發生衝突的人都大為震撼。「天啊,不可能吧!」美國海軍部長法蘭克.諾克斯(Frank Knox)說。他和其他官員本來擔心美國在菲律賓的基地會遭到攻擊──位置離日本不遠,那天稍晚也被轟炸了──但很少有人 Maklumat lanjut
99年前,美國林務局設立希拉荒野地區,成為世界第一個政府指定的荒野地區。將近一世紀後,國家地理資深文字記者彼得.葛溫與攝影師凱蒂.奧林斯基回到了這個概念實現的初始之地,探討荒野到底是什麼。
跟隨葛溫第一人稱的視角探訪荒野,讀者可能會發現,荒野跟我們想像的不太一樣。它不是一塊未經開發、不得干預、放任自然的荒蕪野地,反之,人 Maklumat lanjut
重新想像的童話
我想跟大家介紹的,是在奈及利亞伴隨我成長的故事。
這些故事來自一個電視節目,叫作《月光下的童話》,節目中有名長者會坐在樹下講故事,是有悠久傳統的口述故事的轉播版。早些年時,理想的光源是滿月和星辰,在同樣熱切盼望的孩童和大人臉龐上,投下一道銀藍色的光芒,不遠處也可能會有蟋蟀的鳴叫聲,以及輕柔微風吹過樹葉的摩 Maklumat lanjut
