I grow up on read National Geographic . the photograph in the magazine have always be nothing short of spectacular . I also be a big fan of its tv special and now the cable channel . my favorite issue of the magazine have always involve animal , especially marine life . they concern for the environment be obvious but the magazine also cover people who have to live off the land like the indigenous people in the Artic . there be always two side to every story . I also enjoy read about other culture from around the world , like Japan and China . after read this magazine for over two decade , I find myself still entertain by National Geographic . the photograph and article be consistent and interesting . it be a timeless treasure to be enjoy for generation to come and should teach everyone to respect each other and this planet .
