Atlantis
Atlantis () is a fictional island mentioned in Plato's works '' Timaeus'' and ''Critias'' as part of an allegory on the hubris of nations. In the story, Atlantis is described as a naval empire that ruled all Western parts of the known world, making it the literary counter-image of the Achaemenid Empire. After an ill-fated attempt to conquer "Ancient Athens," Atlantis falls out of favor with the deities and submerges into the Atlantic Ocean. Since Plato describes Athens as resembling his ideal state in the ''Republic'', the Atlantis story is meant to bear witness to the superiority of his concept of a state. Despite its minor importance in Plato's work, the Atlantis story has had a considerable impact on literature. The allegorical aspect of Atlantis was taken up in utopian works of several Renaissance writers, such as Francis Bacon's ''New Atlantis'' and Thomas More's ''Utopia''. On the other hand, nineteenth-century amateur scholars misinterpreted Plato's narrative as histo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Brachiopod
Brachiopods (), phylum (biology), phylum Brachiopoda, are a phylum of animals that have hard "valves" (shells) on the upper and lower surfaces, unlike the left and right arrangement in bivalve molluscs. Brachiopod valves are hinged at the rear end, while the front can be opened for feeding or closed for protection. Two major categories are traditionally recognized, articulate and inarticulate brachiopods. The word "articulate" is used to describe the tooth-and-groove structures of the valve-hinge which is present in the articulate group, and absent from the inarticulate group. This is the leading diagnostic skeletal feature, by which the two main groups can be readily distinguished as fossils. Articulate brachiopods have toothed hinges and simple, vertically oriented opening and closing muscles. Conversely, inarticulate brachiopods have weak, untoothed hinges and a more complex system of vertical and oblique (diagonal) muscles used to keep the two valves aligned. In many brachio ...

Atlantida (cave)
Atlantida ( Ukrainian: Атланти́да) is a karst cave in Ukraine, most famous for its unusual geology, rare formations, and pristine condition. It is located at the bank of the river Zbruch in Kamianets-Podilskyi Raion of Khmelnytskyi Oblast, close to Zavallya village. The cave is 2525 m long and 18 m deep, with 4440 m² area. Subordinated to the Tourism and Excursions Council of Khmelnytskyi Oblast, the cave is a part of the Podilski Tovtry National Nature Park. Atlantida is the only cave with horizontal three-level structure within Ukraine. This structure bases on a system of wide and high galleries of the lower level, formed by powerful localized underground flows. On the same level in the gypsum stratum lies a labyrinth of downgoing passages called "cellars" (as many of them are deadlock). The second level extends about 9 m above and consists of narrowed to 1-1.5 m cavities. The upper level, which contains two 5 m high passages, is located just at the top of gypsu ...

Editorial Atlántida
Editorial Atlántida is a prominent Argentine publishing house and the country's leading magazine publisher and distributor. History Development Editorial Atlántida's origins began with three magazines founded by an Uruguayan-Argentine journalist, Constancio C. Vigil, between 1904 and 1911: the children's weekly ''Pulgarcito'' (akin to "Tom Thumb"), ''Germinal'', and his most successful early periodical, the general interest weekly, ''Mundo Argentino'' ("Argentine World"). Much as ''Pulgarcito'' had been before competition led to its 1907 closure, ''Mundo Argentino'' was a heavily illustrated magazine packed with advertisements and coupons and centered on a particular genre without being limited to it. The magazine, by 1912, boasted a weekly circulation of over 36,000, though the versatile businessman sold it at its peak to ''Editorial Haynes'' in 1917; by then, ''Mundo Argentino'' sold 118,000 copies a week (in a country with fewer than 5 million adults).

Atlántida (magazine)
''Atlántida'' was a general interest and women's magazine published in Argentina between 1918 and 1970. History The magazine was launched by Uruguayan-Argentine publisher Constancio C. Vigil, who established the Atlántida Publishing House in 1918. The company's homonymous weekly would also be its first publication. ''Atlántida'' was designed as a news and general interest weekly tailored primarily for women (the company would concurrently launch '' El Gráfico'', for sports readers, and the children's magazine ''Billiken''). Vigil named both the publishing house and its flagship magazine from a poem of the same name by Olegario Víctor Andrade, who wrote it as an homage to Americanism. ''Atlántida'' was an early success, with a circulation of 45,000 of its maiden issue (March 7, 1918), and of 56,000 by the end of the year. Its chief competition was ''El Hogar'', printed by Editorial Haynes since 1904; ''Atlántida'' generally appealed to a more upscale readership, howe ...

Atlantidae
Atlantidae is a family of sea snails, holoplanktonic gastropod molluscs in the clade Littorinimorpha. According to taxonomy of the Gastropoda by Bouchet & Rocroi (2005) the family Atlantidae has no subfamilies. Description The Atlantidae is a group of holoplanktonic gastropods, which all demonstrate a strong adaptation to pelagic life, in the form of a lenticular, laterally flattened, aragonitic shell, the surface of which is further enlarged by the presence of a wide, and very thin and fragile, double-walled keel. The apex is on the right side of the shell, the umbilicus on the left. For the living animal the enlargement of the shell's surface serves 'to increase stabilization during swimming and sinking'. This phenomenon results in the occurrence of superficially very similar adult shells in separate species, whereas the larval shells may be utterly different. Their body size is microscopic with a shell diameter of less than 1 cm. The foot has evolved into a muscular sw ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Atlántida (opera)
''Atlántida'' (''Atlantis'') is an opera (titled a 'cantata escénica') in a prologue and three parts, by Manuel de Falla, based on the Catalan poem ''L'Atlàntida'' by Jacint Verdaguer. Falla worked on the score for twenty years but had not completed it at his death in Argentina in 1946; his disciple Ernesto Halffter prepared the score for performance. Original legend on which the opera is based Verdaguer brought together pre-history and history: a child (Christopher Columbus) is the sole survivor of a shipwreck of a Genoese boat off the Spanish coast. After reaching shore, he is adopted by a hermit who recounts the history of the earth and seas. He begins the legend with Alcide (Heracles) arriving from Greece to attack the Atlanteans reaching the Spanish side of the Pyrenees. He finds a huge fire started by Geryon, a three-headed African monster. King Tubal of the Pyrenees is killed and his daughter Pyrene gives her father to Alcide imploring him to set forth to kill the mon ...
