 Outstanding Magazine! January 24, 2006
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This magazine is truly outstanding! It is very informative and only rarely makes mistakes! I love the indepth and informative articles that they provide. I also love the way that they always have such clear and beautiful pictures and there is no shortage of them either! I also love the fact that all of the articles are in line with mainstream science.
Still fantastic. November 15, 2005
I've learned so much from this magazine. It takes you into cultures from all over the world and teaches you about them. Every month you're looking at pictures of events and people sometimes in places that you have never even heard of. Really educational and top notch.
Must have in any home library September 1, 2005
I have always had a copy of National Geographic available to me. As a kid I glanced at my Dad's copy (just for the pictures- I had a subscription to Ranger Rick that was more my style until I was 8). As an adult I read it cover to cover every month and its the first magazine I look for on the newsstands. Simple the best magazine that is published.
Photographs with the added bonus of good writing May 1, 2005

I received National Geographic as a gift because I was getting too old for Ranger Rick. (Quite the jump, I must add). I read my first issue and immediately wanted more.
The pictures, as many have said, are always stunning, and the writing is spectacular. Obviously, such a world-renowned magazine must be spectacular.
My only complaint is that it takes so long to read that, with my busy schedule, I don't ever have time to read anything else. They tend to pile up, but I read them all eventually- I can't bear the thought of just putting an unread issue straight into the rack with the read ones. It really is fantastic and makes a great Bar or Bat Mitzvah gift.
A fantastic publication despite its liberal slant March 14, 2005

Now now! Before you get mad at me for my "liberal slant" comment in the title of this review, let me remind you that I also said it's "a fantastic publication." :-) No matter what your political stance on hot button issues such as global warming and oil, you have to admit that National Geographic takes a liberal stance. Is that good or bad? Entirely up to you to decide. But to their credit, they do a VERY fair job, within the articles, of explaining and examining ALL aspects and points of view.
I subscribed because like most of us, I've always been a fan of their photographs, but as they began to arrive in the mail I found myself poring over each and every page, reading every issue from cover to cover. I've learned so many wonderful things about cultures and people I will never get a chance to see in real life, and I've educated myself on issues that otherwise would remain a mystery.
One of the most enjoyable aspects of having a subscription is the inserts that come in almost every issue. My all time favorite thus far has been a composite map of the entire world at night, showing natural gas vents, wild fires, and city lights across the globe. Fascinating!
For the almost embarrassingly low price of $49.00 a year I am more educated, informed, and inspired then I was before I subscribed.
