I be 28 year old and I have every issue of this magazine that have be publish since I be bear -lrb- thanks mom & Dad for the ongoing subscription -rrb- . it use to be the gold standard of magazine ... well , its really a Journal publication . the photography feature in the magazine be still top notch and beautiful . however , since when do subject like Cafeine and Stem cell -lrb- both recent cover story -rrb- have anything to do with geography ? this magazine use to spin tale of expedition to far fling land and interesting tribe and so on . perhaps its a testament to the fact that we be all become more and more globalized and the culture of the world be become more and more homogonize with every passing year , but it seem some of the subject matter as of late be really stretch the scope of the publication . second , I recall as a child and adolescent receive the map that come with the edition every 3 or 4 month . they would adorn the wall of my bedroom and eventually even my college dorm room . but in the past five year it seem that these fold out have include thing like picture of dinosaur , ancient fish , and big elephant ... not so geographical . I remember read article about people summit mountain and dogsledding to the South Pole and now we get cover story entitle `` Love : the Chemical reaction '' ... what ?
