In 2004, at the Summer Market Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City, NEMO introduced its first line of backpacking and mountaineering tents. A few months later, the company won the 2005 ISPO BrandNew Award from Munich, Germany. Later in 2005, NEMO’s products were named among the best inventions of the year by TIME Magazine, Reader's Digest, Men's Journal, and Popular Science. NEMO has also been recognized numerous times for its design with the Good Design Award from the Chicago Athenaeum, a Design Distinction honor from I.D. Magazine, and the 2006 Bottom Line Design Award from Business 2.0 and Frog Design. NEMO tents have also received numerous accolades from outdoor publications such as Backpacker Magazine's 2008 Best All-Around Mountaineering tent and Rock & Ice Editor Choice Award.

Famous quotes containing the word history:

    Psychology keeps trying to vindicate human nature. History keeps undermining the effort.
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    In history the great moment is, when the savage is just ceasing to be a savage, with all his hairy Pelasgic strength directed on his opening sense of beauty;—and you have Pericles and Phidias,—and not yet passed over into the Corinthian civility. Everything good in nature and in the world is in that moment of transition, when the swarthy juices still flow plentifully from nature, but their astrigency or acridity is got out by ethics and humanity.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Universal history is the history of a few metaphors.
    Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986)
