In the Field with National Geographic tells the organization's 135-year story through the explorers, scientists, educators, photographers, and innovations that carried questions from Everest to microscopes, deep seas, and space.

- Spaceflight
- Ecosystems
Your child will meet:
- Field research joins a focused question with observations, measurements, records, and evidence gathered in context.
- New tools can extend observation from microscopic scales to deep oceans, high mountains, and distant space.
- Photography and reporting can document evidence and communicate discovery, while selection and context still shape the story told.
Use it this way
Parent effort: Simple activity
Join archaeologists and adventurers, explorers and scientists on this brief, newly updated jaunt through more than 135 years of research, discovery, and unforgettable photojournalism at the National Geographic Society. From the top of Mount Everest to the depths of the sea, from beneath the microscope to the outer bounds of space, the National Geographic Society has reported on the world and all that is in it since 1888. Here is its story: a short history of the people, images, and innovations that made the organization an international beacon for all who desire to know more about our world. Earth's geography may now be charted, its poles attained, its highest mountains climbed. But the need to understand its peoples and nations, its animals and plants, its deepest seas, its fiery core, and its place among the twirling galaxies is more crucial than ever before. Today, a global audience engages with National Geographic on social media, television, film, and expeditions, as well as in books, magazines, educational products, and stores, to understand our planet and spark their sense of wonder. This engaging book encapsulates that body of work: vital to all who cherish the earth and look to the stars.
