Ideal magazine for Adults and Kids January 22, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
Excellent magazine for adults and kids alike. Covers everything from culture, nature, geography, ecology to science and technology. In recent months it has tackled interesting and counterversial subjects such as "The end of Cheap Oil" and "Global Warming".
In any edition you can review a wide spectrum of articles -- history, science, wild life etc. I particularly like the article on ZipUSA where they cover small ( but unique and interesting ) "zip codes".
There is no better way to learn about diverse life forms on this planets. Where there are deep deep sea creatures or animals living in the evergreen forests.
There is no better way to learn about our solar system -- how planets are created or what are stars ? Recently there was an article on New Earths.
My elder child enjoys reading this magazine. Believe me this is the best way to build interest around science for kids.
Always an eye opener, with great photography January 20, 2005
5 out of 6 found this review helpful
National Geographic is simply a great magazine for people interested in the world. The world of peoples, the world of animals, the world of plants, the world of beautiful places, the world of ugly places. While the text can sound aloof at times, the photos are simply world-class. In fact, I read NG mainly for the photographs. As the Chinese proverb goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words." NG hires some of the best portrait and nature photographers who trek thousands of miles each year to bring NG readers amazing and sometimes mesmerizing photos. This magazine truly opens one's eyes and mind.
My only minor complaint is the large number of ads in the magazine which sometimes look almost like part of a real story.
BTW, Amazon is charging too much for this magazine. You can subscribe on NG's website for almost half of what Amazon charges.
 Changing History December 17, 2004

You think a magazine such as National Geographic would be about facts and true reporting of those facts of the world we are living in today. But , no, the Arab states money has clouded their facts slightly and made them into something of a fiction. They tried to change the Persian Gulf to Arabian Gulf, thinking no one would notice???? Well, Persia was there thousands of years a go and its one of the oldest civilisations of the world. New Arabian money can not and will not change that history and will not rename the Persian Gulf. Changing history usually happens when parts of history have been forgotten. Well iran and Iranians live and their history has not and will never be forgotten. As long as one Iranian lives , Persian gulf will remain Persian.
What I didn't expect is December 10, 2004

I really like this magazine with it's great colorful pictures however, lastly I think it lost its credit to me by changing some Middle eastern names such as Persian gulf to other names. Therefore I want to show my Anger by rating it low as it could be more reliable.
