there be a reason that National Geographic have be around for this many decade : it be a classic .  as feature article go , they be a bit on the long side , but the writing be usually so compelling you 'll hardly notice . travel to exotic place , meet fascinating new culture , and go to some of the most remote , beautiful region in the world .  as photography go , I doubt there be better photojournalist out there than the one who work for National Geographic .  as the magazine 's design go , it be superb as well . use the top-notch photo and well-written article , they be able to put together some really compelling -lrb- even breathtaking on occasion -rrb- design . and you have get to love the magazine 's sense of nostalgia and tradition : they have use that same yellow border for age .  all in all , it be a great pick-up .
