National Geographic offer a broad overview about almost all interesting issue concern history , science and nature . I always enjoy to get the next issue since besides the main theme on the cover there be a variety of additional coverage of present and past matter . also the effect of global warming , foreign culture , historic event and process , the destruction of nature by man and many social problem in Third World country be describe and explain in detail . I just love that magazine and do not want to miss it anymore . it be worth to collect it in a slipcase or anything like that . the coverage often have up-to-date reference but also there be many article and passage which be just timeless . this subscription at amazon I have purchase for a dear friend who have not the money to buy the monthly issue , just to share everything with she . I be sure she 'll enjoy the magazine since she be so much interested in all those issue deal with . I would recommend it highly . for everyone who be interested I even would recommend to go ahead into the next bookshop and take a look into the current issue , just to get a overview what I be write about . enjoy reading ! I look forward to each come monthly issue of this great magazine .
