Grosvenor is the son of Melville Bell Grosvenor and the great-grandson of Alexander Graham Bell. He received a B.A. in psychology from Yale University in 1954. Between his junior and senior years he volunteered in efforts to recover from the North Sea flood of 1953 and co-authored an article that was published in the National Geographic. Grosvenor recalled. "I discovered the power of journalism." He joined the magazine as a picture editor. In 1970 Grosvenor became editor of National Geographic Magazine. He served until 1980 when he became president of the National Geographic Society. Arlotte Douglas Tushingham 1914 - February 27 2002 was a Canadian archaeologist most noted for his excavations of Jericho with Kathleen Kenyon. Thomas J. Abercrombie August 13 1930 - April 3 2006 was a senior staff writer and photographer for National Geographic well known for his work on Middle Eastern countries. During his tenure at the Geographic magazine Abercrombie traveled to all seven continents becoming the first staff photojournalist to travel to the South Pole in 1956 while providing photographs for Paul Siple's coverage of the first overwinter stay at the South Pole Station. Other notable coverage includes his photographs of Jacques Cousteau and his crew aboard Cousteau's vessel the Calypso and the transit of the first white tiger from India to the United States. Abercrombie was the first Western journalist to cover the Islamic pilgrimage to Mecca in his article Beyond the Sands of Mecca published 1966. He was invited to work at National Geographic where his first report was from Lebanon. He had never been abroad before. As a staff member of National Geographic Abercrombie was best known for his work in Arab countries visited all seven continents and was one of the first two journalists to reach the South Pole in 1957. Abercrombie was the first person to win both the Newspaper Photographer of the year 1954 and the magazine photographer of the year 1959. He dived with Jacques Cousteau who said it "was like swimming with a fish". He covered the region from Morocco to Afghanistan for more than three decades until he retired in 1994. During his forty years at National Geographic he published forty stories from all around the world. The National Geographic Society paperback‎

‎Explorers Hall‎

‎Washington DC: The National Geographic Society 1965. Presumed First Edition/First Printing. Wraps. Good. B. Anthony Stewart Emory Kristof Robert S. Oakes. 54 pages. Approximately 7 inches by 9 inches. Illustrations some in color. Diagram. Illustrated cover. List of publications. Cover has some wear and soiling. Somewhat shaken. This appears to have been prepared for the opening of Explorers Hall. Melville Bell Grosvenor wrote in the introductory narrative "My pulse quickened to think that soon we would open our doors to an exciting new museum of science and exploration. Each exhibit would demonstrate in color sound and motion a milestone in man's conquest of earth sea and sky. To each visitor Explorers Hall would be a personal adventure of discovery and this souvenir guidebook a passport to that adventure." The National Geographic Society headquartered in Washington D.C. United States is one of the largest nonprofit scientific and educational institutions in the world. Its interests include geography archaeology and natural science the promotion of environmental and historical conservation and the study of world culture and history. The National Geographic Society's logo is a yellow portrait frame - rectangular in shape - which appears on the margins surrounding the front covers of its magazines and as its television channel logo. It also operates a website that features extra content and worldwide events. A guide book is "a book of information about a place designed for the use of visitors or tourists". It will usually include information about sights accommodation restaurants transportation and activities. Maps of varying detail and historical and cultural information are often included. Different kinds of guide books exist focusing on different aspects. A forerunner of the guidebook was the periplus an itinerary from landmark to landmark of the ports along a coast. A periplus such as the Periplus of the Erythraean Sea was a manuscript document that listed in order the ports and coastal landmarks with approximate intervening distances that the captain of a vessel could expect to find along a shore. This work was possibly written in the middle of the 1st century CE. It served the same purpose as the later Roman itinerarium of road stops. The periegesis or "progress around" was an established literary genre during the Hellenistic age. A lost work by Agaclytus describing Olympia is referred to by the Suda and Photius. Dionysius Periegetes literally Dionysius the Traveller was the author of a description of the habitable world in Greek hexameter verse written in a terse and elegant style intended for the klismos traveller rather than the actual tourist on the ground; he is believed to have worked in Alexandria and to have flourished around the time of Hadrian. An early "remarkably well-informed and interesting guidebook" was the Hellados Periegesis Descriptions of Greece of Pausanias of the 2nd century A.D. This most famous work is a guide to the interesting places works of architecture sculpture and curious customs of Ancient Greece and is still useful to Classicists today. With the advent of Christianity the guide for the European religious pilgrim became a useful guidebook. An early account is that of the pilgrim Egeria who visited the Holy Land in the 4th century CE and left a detailed itinerary. In the medieval Arab world guide books for travelers in search of ancient Near Eastern artifacts monuments and treasures were written by Arabic treasure hunters and alchemists. This was particularly the case in Arab Egypt where ancient Egyptian antiquities were highly valued. The National Geographic Society paperback‎
