國家地理雜誌總裁吉爾柏特‧葛洛佛納 (Gilbert H. Grosvenor) 出生於18751028

當你看著國家地理雜誌裡一張張奇特的照片時,你是否會對這個世界產生更多想像?

當這本雜誌剛開始發行時,是以文字刊物的方式來設計。但是在吉爾柏特‧葛洛佛納 (他的發音是葛洛佛—納) 在
1903年成為這本雜誌的總編輯後,各種美麗的照片就成為這本雜誌的特色之一了。在1920年時,葛洛佛納又成為發行國家地理雜誌的全美地理學會 (National Geographic Society) 的總裁。葛洛佛納在18751028日出生於土耳其,他最大的貢獻就是將國家地理雜誌改造成為全球知名的雜誌。

藉由銷售這本雜誌所賺取到的經費,全美地理學會得以持續探索不為人知的世界景觀,然後再將這些景觀介紹給數以百萬的讀者。你知道他們都到哪裡去探險嗎?


When you look at the exotic photographs in a National Geographic magazine, do they make you wonder about the world?

The magazine was a plain-covered journal when it first started. The beautiful photographs became part of the journal after Gilbert H. Grosvenor (pronounced "GROVE-nor") became editor-in-chief for the publication in 1903. In 1920, Grosvenor took on a second role as president of the National Geographic Society, which publishes the magazine. Born in Turkey on October 28, 1875, Grosvenor is credited with transforming National Geographic into a world-renowned monthly magazine.
