852 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 you think a magazine such as National Geographic would be about fact and true reporting of those fact of the world we be live in today . but , no , the Arab state money have cloud they fact slightly and make they into something of a fiction . they try to change the Persian Gulf to Arabian Gulf , think no one would notice ???? well , Persia be there thousand of year a go and its one of the oldest civilisation of the world . New Arabian money can not and will not change that history and will not rename the Persian Gulf . change history usually happen when part of history have be forget . well iran and Iranians live and they history have not and will never be forget . as long as one iranian life , Persian gulf will remain persian .
760 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I personally think this magazine be great . First of all I be a 16 year old female ... fashion be everything in high school-you practicly be what you dress . I know it sound materialistic , it be , but you have to roll with the time . a couple month ago , I buy the fall issue of Vogue . they have many wonderful clothes for the fall-include the many exotic and elegant jacket . thanks to that magazine , I go out to Wilson 's Leather Store and buy a leather jacket -lrb- the one with `` shaggy fur '' around the collar and sleeve -rrb- which be almost exactly like the one in Vogue . I have have many compliment about my jacket . anyways , I be one of the first people have this type of jacket ... this magazine will help you start the trend for once , not the other way around . it be mainly just ad , but it desplay the in-syle for every season , give you a chance to dress great .
946 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I receive Dec. . Jan , & Feb. at the same time . I do not want back issue as I have buy they at the book store . I be tell I would receive my first copy in Feb. so I plan accordingly and have already purchase the Dec. & Jan. copy . not happy with receive back copy .
8 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 good magazine , but my complaint be that when I receive it , part of the cover be rip and crinkle . they should put some kind of protective cover like other magazine when they mail it .
61 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 receive only one issue for a one-year subscription , and nothing in the follow three month . I contact the customer service and be tell that my subscription be cancel due to a system error . the refund will appear in one to two billing statement of my credit card -lrb- I hope -rrb- . what if I do not catch that error ? be they go to just take the money and do nothing ? this be disgusting and dishonest . never subscribe any magazine from they again . Update : never receive that refund .
718 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 in June of 1850 , a new magazine appear on the american scene . create by a New York publishing company call Harper & Brothers , the periodical receive the appropriate name `` Harper 's magazine . '' over the year , the magazine begin print article and story from american author , include William Dean Howells , Mark Twain , Theodore Dreiser , John Muir , Jack London , and many other big literary name immediately recognizable to reader of literature . Harper 's also publish news about the big story of the day , such as a article write by Henry Stimson defend the use of the atomic bomb on Hiroshima . astonishingly enough , the magazine nearly fold in 1980 until several big shot step in and rescue the periodical with grant money . needless to say , Harper 's magazine still chug along , and I recently subscribe to see what this historic publication look like today . what I find both elate and bother I . Harper 's magazine be a entertaining read , if the September 2003 edition be any indication , but at the same time the politics express in several of the entry leave a slightly sour taste in my mouth . the September issue overflow with article about politics , book review , essay , letter from reader , picture of artwork , and several excerpt from current literary effort . there be even a doozy of a puzzle towards the end of the magazine for those who want to test they mental power . it look as though the editor of the magazine keep advertising to a minimum -lrb- a good thing -rrb- , and there be not any of those annoying , and sometimes perfumed , insert you find in most magazine . nothing kill a magazine quicker in my mind than detect wave of some cheap cologne waft off a article about politics or entertainment . my favorite odor free article in this issue of Harper 's include a travelogue piece about Waziristan , a rugged region in Pakistan where Taliban exile mix with hostile pashtun tribe who possess a decidedly anti-american mentality . the article , write by a american woman , be slightly histrionic in its presentation but it be very informative . sure enough , a week after I read this article someone on the news mention the region in the context of american anti-terrorism effort , and I be happy to know something about it before hand . another article worth mention be a essay about the public school system write by a retired teacher . the author of this piece deride the crush boredom of the educational system for both student and teacher , and trace the development of we school back to Prussia in the 18th and 19th century . while I disagree with he political leaning , I do find he conclusion that we school serve as factory to churn out good little sheep that only know how to shop relevant and satisfying . my favorite literary excerpt come from a israeli journalist name Oz Shelach , who write a book call `` Picnic Grounds . '' the excerpt come in bite size little fragment that shed some insight into the problem between the Israelis and Palestinians , among other topic . some of the stuff in this issue of Harper 's magazine be good reading material . regrettably , my politics do not mesh well with the staff at Harper 's magazine . I sigh aloud every time I see a reference to identity politics , specifically in a literary critique about V.S. Naipaul write by Terry Eagleton . I should be fair and state that I see a full page advertisement from a group seek to limit immigration into the United States , and there be a critique of the new Norton Anthology of Modern and Contemporary Poetry that do question the inclusion of several poet who write about nothing except identity theme , so there do seem to be a attempt at balance . overall , Harper 's magazine be definitely a left orient publication . I think I can live with it now that I know what to look for in future issue , but for some people this might present a significant problem . one good aspect : while there may be a mess of leftist at the helm of this magazine , at least they still know how to have a laugh . include in this issue be a description of a italian board game about woman of the night . base on Monopoly , the Italians call this game `` Puttanopoly , '' and the excerpt take from the card in the game be as hilarious as they be inappropriate for this review . after finish this issue of the magazine , I realize that even though I disagree with its politics , I be still look forward to receive my next issue . I read this magazine cover to cover in just a couple of day , and for the most part I feel I learn a lot about various topic in the process . you simply can not resist the price offer here for a year 's subscription , so give Harper 's Magazine a chance . no matter what you outlook on life , I guarantee you will find something here to tickle you fancy .
9 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 i almost , actually , i forget i order the magazine because it take more than a month to arrive . the website do say it take 4-6 week to come , so i think i should fairly give it a 4 star . the miss 5th star be for : indeed , it be a looong wait .
79 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 finally , I have find a magazine that keep my mind active long after I have set it down . each month I discover a deeper understanding into today 's issue and look at thing with a new perspective thanks to the thoughtful word in Harper 's . I recommend this magazine to anyone look to learn more about we country and the vast world around we .
441 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 2 I buy the one year subscription -lrb- December 2011 -rrb- but already receive `` notice '' that my subscription be about to run out and that I need to renew -lrb- now only 6 month later -rrb- . I do not get the magazine on time and one month never even get it !
881 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 love the mag ng . unfortunately I renew thru Amazon and they be to transfer my ng order to the publisher of NG so that I would not lose any issue between my exist subscription which be up this month and my renewal ... this have not happen and I have have no way of contact Amazon to rectify this situation . so I be write a review of Amazon and the disappointment in renew my magazine thru they and now will miss about 3-4 issue until they play catchup . will think again before renew thru Amazon . seem a communication gap here . call ng and they inform I I must reach Amazon and let they know of the change . this be not what the order form say from Amazon . I be lead to believe Amazon would make the transfer with the publishing company from NG .
515 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I order the subscription on 11\/24\/09 Hope it only take 4-6 week . have two more week to go . could have order it direct from ng and start it right away but be $ 10.00 more . it may turn out to be a better buy if I do not receive it ...
592 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 strangely , 2 arrive at the same time - I subscribe in early January and receive , at the end of the month , both the January and February issue . hey , can not complain - gotta love National Geographic . it seem like other subscriber through Amazon have have some bad experience , but no complaint here . look forward to peruse through the beautiful image and expand my perspective .
434 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have be subscribe to Harper 's for year . in fact , I start after read editor Lewis Lapham 's `` money and class in America : Notes and observation on we civil Religion '' and at least one other book , a collection of he essay . First , Lapham 's `` column '' at the beginning of each issue I can not recommend enough . in the case of the recent Iraq war , for example , Mr. Lapham have the gut to stand up against it . and he do so in a eloquent and erudite way , less volatile than any stand I be able to publicly make . the rest of the content be the best I have ever read in a american periodical . for those who refer to Harper 's as `` leftist , '' I be force to disagree . there have be article that be not remotely `` leftist , '' with some of which I happen to agree . but most would consider most of the material `` liberal . '' -lrb- while I be not much of a short story reader , those who read they in this magazine say they be the best . -rrb- thanks so much , Mr. Lapham , for you erudite commentary on Iraq , on George W. , on 9\/11 , and on countless other subject . I look forward to each issue .

707 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic magazine be the only magazine I like -lrb- I usually read only news and book -rrb- . other scientific\/geography magazine still can not surpass the fabulus article , picture , and map . if you like geography , enviroment , and wildlife article -lrb- and picture -rrb- , than subscribe now ! the article be in depth and accurate . do not just stand there people !! subscribe this magazine for you friend or family -lrb- as gift -rrb- or to yourself . you will not regret it -lrb- unless you do not like geography magazine -rrb-
951 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 here be a quick breakdown : 1 . Harpers will feed you need for the trivial . the index be a fascinating collection of fact and figure , and the front-of-book section be probably one of the most quirky , laugh-out-loud funny and stimulating in the business . 2 . great fiction . some up-and-comer submit , along with some old pro -lrb- a recent story by Joyce Carol Oates be outstanding -rrb- 3 . great feature . some great topic , albeit a lot of environmental stuff , it be still well-rounded and well-informed . great one I have read recently include a look at maid , suv , education reform and more . I can see why people might not like this magazine because it appear to be `` uppity . '' in fact , the only thing that annoy I about this magazine be the letter to the editor , where all of the ivy-league intellectual write in and try to prove how smart they be . but I think the appeal be more widespread than that . and you 'll be pay less than a dollar a issue -- you 'll definitely get you money 's worth .
605 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have be a subscriber for about 40 year , from when it be name Astounding , and almost never disappoint . in addition to great author -lrb- many of whom I meet first on Astounding\/Analog page -rrb- , great short story , review , and feedback - do not miss the thought provoke editorial . no matter who be the current editor , the editorial make you check you firmly hold belief and preconceived notion , and \* think \* . you may not agree , but you 'll definitely think . well worth the money .

I email customer service -lrb- again -rrb- , and after several day they reply to my email and assure I my subscription do not expire until October 2007 , and that they send customer renewal notice early , 9 month early in fact , so that customer have time to renew . customer service should not make excuse for they shortcoming . March 2007 - I do not receive the March 2007 issue and April be already on the news stand . 2 miss issue in the past 6 month . frustrated .

285 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 a quick survey of a typical issue of this magazine will show that it offer well write , leftist orient write present seemingly for a audience of very well off , financially secure urbanite , who if fortunate be ideally situate in Manhattan . the magazine often espouse a leftist critique of we nasty capitalist society and feature ad for silly product that only a certain segment of that comfy financially secure class of educate professional who receive much benefit from that nasty capitalism could consider acquire . have say as much , I be a repeat subscriber and enjoy the fine , creative and often insightful writing . feature like Thomas Frank 's , cranky , snarky and entertaining `` Easy Chair '' , `` Harper 's index '' and `` finding '' alone make the magazine worth a subscription . the fact that there be such a variety of literature to read in each issue from poetry to investigative journalism also make this a magazine to have .

904 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 -- as the previous reviewer state , this be not a publication that have much meat to it . but I not only find fault with its ommission but also with what it do contain . if you be seek a authentically catholic perspective , look elsewhere . in its attempt to be inclusive this publication have give the name Catholic to much that be not . a good magazine be faith and Family , though it appeal more to woman . perhaps if one be look for devotional and biblical content , he could look into Magnificat .
549 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I be a subscriber to this magazine about 10 year ago . I recently subscribe again . after receive my first issue I remember why I cancel it . 75 % of it be advertisement . I can only take so many janitor franchise .
814 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 we go to Hawaii annually and this magazine help we stay in touch with island happening , situation , cultural event on the mainland , recipe and all thing hawaiian . it help ease the homesickness of be away from we 2nd `` home '' . they even have a annual photo contest to enter for the photography buff . -lrb- would I be shamefully plug that I win the cultural category in the issue feature to lure you to this review ? -lrb- bring the Islands Home -rrb- -rrb- ; - -rrb- for Hawaii fanatic , this mag for you ... hand down !
835 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 basically all this magazine be gossip and celebrity . now if you like celebrity , thats great . get this magazine but it be a little ... blah . its not a very good magazine - suscribe it for a year and that will be enough celebrity gossip that it will be come out of you ear . overall : try it for a bit . I buy about 5 of they and they be good but then I realize I do not care about what type of hair product this celebrity be use ...
513 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I have be suck in to get this magazine twice for subscription simply because it be so cheap . both time I find it to be just awful . if I find one interview in it that I be interested in it be lucky . and then the concept of have a famous person interview another famous person ? well that sound like a novel concept but it usually really stink and the interview and interviewer prove to be inept . I give it a second chance and it still do nothing for I . they will not get a third chance once this subscription run out .
401 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 sorry , but I have to chime in , since actual conservative do not seem to review this magazine . I would hate for the Standard to become the `` conservative magazine for the think leftist . '' this magazine be a taste of the conservative movement . it be a good way to ease into conservatism -lrb- and yes , they do comment on that whole lewinski\/purgery\/obstructing justice `` nonsense '' -rrb- the first thing you 'll notice about the Standard -lrb- and indeed most conservative publication -rrb- be how bare-bones it be . very few full page photograph with two word ever grace it be page . the page contain plain text , thoughtful opinion from various author . -lrb- the website even feature Larry Miller -- among the funniest comedien who do not need the `` f '' word -rrb- conservative and liberal alike will find enough to disagree with in this one -lrb- though the latter will have a harder time with it -rrb- . I recommend get the National Review\/Weekly Standard bundle just to balance out the McCain worship from the Standard .
436 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I end my subscription a couple of year ago with agm , String Publishing . they make I a very good offer on a renewal , which I accept . after 4 month I still do not receive a magazine ! I contact customer service , and some dope name Cassandra completely drop the ball , claim she could not view a copy of the cash check , and when I finally threaten with the BBB , she claim I pay for they online service . completely untrue . by the way , it take 2 month of email for she to reach this decision . I email the maagazine editor in a attempt to bypass the dope . I 'll give they another couple of day and then it be off to the Better Business Bureau or the local DA if I can not get anything do through the BBB . the real problem here be that this be the second time they do it to I . shame on I !
330 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 this magazine be another part of the Murdoch empire . its worst sin be that its boring and not very conservative . it be found by William Kristol , John Podhoretz and Fred Barnes to be a institutional conservative publication under tight control and with deep enough pocket to dwarf its smaller rival . when conservativism be a living movement , it be best characterize as a collection of independent voice who while they respect each other do not always agree with each other . now , follow the Murdoch formulum , its about get as many people whatever they ideology on the payroll . the price of be on the payroll be of course not rock the boat . read conservative publication these day be like read the transcript of someone engage in a monologue in a echo chamber . its strange that there be so much `` conservative '' media today , but that most policy decision do not get debate or even discuss among conservative . they seem more interested in cover liberal than discuss idea or make proposal . and for god 's sake , no more article by those who be agnostic in they private life talk about how america need more god this or god that . if you go to be religious , at least find someone who be sincere . and no more article on the greatness of family by childless unmarried woman who be totally devote to career to the exclusion of anything else .
113 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 love this magazine . whish it have more `` how to do '' article though .
313 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 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 ?
140 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I really love this magazine ! my favorite part be the cool comeback , although some part of it be a waste of paper like hot word from hot star . who care ?
419 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I absolutely hate when a magazine choose to send I multiple issue at the same time to start my subscription . I do not have time to get through 3 issue before the next one come . I be sure it be much more convenient for the publisher but in this day and age , they computer can easily keep track of when my subscription start and end . at this point , I be unlikely to renew this subscription because of this practice .
248 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this magazine be a bit too conservative for my taste . I be a register Libertarian , so I like to consider the best of the Democrat and Republican party , but get government out of the picture as much as possible . I have read this magazine because it do have good writing from a conservative viewpoint . unfortunately , some of the material be too conservative -- the political agenda block the objective thinking . in that way , it be much like counter magazine from the liberal perspective . that be one reason why I prefer more objective magazine like the `` Economist '' .
920 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I really do not know . this be a gift renewal so it have not begin . Blah , blah , blah blah blh blah blah blah ...
102 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I know these book be trash . I buy they for poster . I be 14 and the only time i actually read they be at my camp when it be rain . plus , that be a tradition , to buy trashy , cheap , fill with strictly gossip information and read they and see how low people can go . I mean look at Kate and John Gosselin . = -lrb- oh well .
778 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be a great magazine , which can be enjoy by the entire family . Amazon make subscribe or renew very easy !
886 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 once upon a time in the sf world there be only novel . then come Editor John Campbell and do he manage a field of great author ! Asimov , Heinlien , Clarke , and many other grow up under he . in we modern era , science fiction have once again fall prey to 10 novel fantasy series and the -lrb- ... -rrb- EMPIRE of Star Wars and Star Trek book -lrb- I hesitate to call they novel -rrb- . Asimov 's Science fiction be the bright shine light where fabulous sf be be write by writer that have not sell out to the Motion Picture megabuck . not that these story would not make great movie , many would , but editor Gardner Dozois demand excellence and get it . the writer in ASF write sf the way it should be , with the science of today extrapolate into the future . way to go and suscribe to this magazine
979 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 difficult to find present for 15 year old girl and I think this will be a hit . if so I have another who would love to read about she favorite star . I plan on purchase more magazine through Amazon in the future .
945 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 j-14 have once again go into the realm of be yet another trashy tweenager magazine which we only buy for the cheap poster . this magazine have really boring article , cheap poster , cheesy quiz , and a cover which look like somebody throw a bunch of picture of teen star onto a piece of paper . the article be insanely boring and mainly cover stuff that we do not care about . `` Miley Cyrus have a allowence ! '' , `` OMG Ashley Tisdale like chocolate chip cookie '' . who really care about this stuff ? I want to hear story about tween star admit they be pregnant , or have cheat on they boyfriend . real article rather than cheap story ! the main reason the article be this bad be either a -rrb- they do not want to let the kiddie reader about the REAL life of celebrity , b -rrb- the reporter of these magazine have no idea how to get real gossip out of a celebrity . plus the article be soo short and the magazine be 80 % poster . the poster be also very cheap and they be soo bright that they be kinda eye sore . they pose no real value and make the celebrity look like 10 year old . then there be the quiz . the quiz be nothing more than stuff like `` what type of flirt be you '' , and `` be you a good friend ? '' . the cover I think be almost the worst part . it have no structure and it be basicaly a mixture of photo , bright color , and misleading headline . for example : a issue could read `` Miley spill major secret '' and she secret be `` she have Solja boy on she ipod '' . they make we think we be get a real good story , but it always turn out to be something we do not care about . J-14 magazine truelly be terrible and if you want a good magazine go read seventeen , Vogue , or something that be artice be not `` Selena Gomez have 32 Veera Bradley purse ! ''
115 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 I buy National Geographics for my elderly father over 3 month ago . to this day no magazine have arrive . tired of wait and after a phone call from he , I bar the wait to talk to someone in NG . they tell I that go through Amazon take at least 3 month !!! and that they have ship my order two day ago and it will take 2 week in transport . if I go directly through they it take 1 month .
968 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 the only good thing about this magazine be its title ` entrepreneur ' . it be a entice title and sound promising to new and aspiring entrepreneur . but once you have read a couple of issue you know it be place be in the trash bin . the internet be a treasure house of informative and inspirational stuff , this magazine be like a ad book with useless or redundant information . it be a utterly disappointing magazine for what it claim .
229 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 do anybody really read this ? or , do file clerk just carry it around on the subway to impress each other ? it take Vogue 500 page to say nothing about people and thing of no significance in the real world . innocent tree be be slaughter to provide endless advertisement . it be the narcissist 's bible . I like to imagine that the editorial staff really sit around laugh every month about the worthless stuff they churn out -- just wait for people to realize that this be a hoax . I pray that Vogue be the publishing industry 's War of the world ! but then , I have always be a optomist .
777 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 i dont care if it be for fourteen year old , this magazine rock . it have all the inside info and have awsome poster , door hanger , fake tattoo and star , star , star . it tell you about everything and its the only magazine that have special article for star . who care if you 12 or 11 this magazine be for everyone . i love the game about you favorite star .

286 Magazine_Subscriptions NEG 1 only 2 issue have arrive so far and we be 10 month in to the subscription . what a rip off !
712 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 always a winner with this magazine . the fact that Amazon have offer a special price for a subscription be wonderful and ensure that I will continue to keep read a magazine that have a lot to offer in a world where there be less and less content provide . the ability to download and read the magazine on my Ipad as part of my subscription be a add plus .
371 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 a rise in Hell would be all the fairer as a god-breathed thing cast its beauty even in depths of darkness . I have grow quite fond of National Geographic Magazine over the past few year . I be not a subscriber . my parent be . yet , even as occasional bathroom light , this magazine have enlighten I on much and change my view on a subject more than once . be there any greater prophetic voice call out in the wilderness today ? none that I have find . National Geographic have be go after some huge issue : the diamond trade , modern slavery , global warming , the epidemic of obesity , nuclear waste . they have cover these issue well and cast a bright light on many of the world 's darkest place . in this new age -- where we have be soften and too often cozen by the prevalence of opinion , attitude and style over fact -- National Geographic be the one place I know I can go for hard hit journalism and writing -lrb- and excellent image -- let 's not forget that here -rrb- that rise above the everyday . this remarkable magazine accomplish all this and still cover the interesting place of the world -lrb- and beyond -rrb- with excellence . one recent article of this sort that spring to mind be one they do on Badlands National Park . I visit the park this summer and feel that my visit be deepen and enhance by have first read the article . I give National Geographic my highest recommendation .
226 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I have purchase 3 different magazine on Amazon and be happy to receive my subscription for Vogue timely . I still have not see my other 2 magazine subscription from Travel & leisure or Marie Claire
10 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic continue to amaze I each and every month . the picture and in depth article be second to none . simply , there be no equivalent to this monthly dose of adventure , environment and exploration . Kenneth Haft
200 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 this be one of my favorite magazine . if you want to understand what be go on in the country and the world , you should read Harper 's every month . gutsy , fearless reporting . if you be look for more than corporate - speak reporting and analysis in a magazine , you should subscribe to Harper 's .
869 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 National Geographic be simply a great magazine for people interested in the world . the world of people , the world of animal , the world of plant , the world of beautiful place , the world of ugly place . while the text can sound aloof at time , the photo be simply world-class . in fact , I read ng mainly for the photograph . as the chinese proverb go , `` a picture be worth a thousand word . '' ng hire some of the best portrait and nature photographer who trek thousand of mile each year to bring ng reader amazing and sometimes mesmerizing photo . this magazine truly open one 's eye and mind . my only minor complaint be the large number of ad in the magazine which sometimes look almost like part of a real story . BTW , Amazon be charge too much for this magazine . you can subscribe on NG 's website for almost half of what Amazon charge .
891 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 my poor attempt at a review do not give this magazine the due it deserve . I enjoy it , and I be excite to read it every month , most of the time from cover to cover .
767 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 I subscribe in November and get the Nov , Dec and Jan volume in the mail yesterday . I love National Geographic .
380 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 I have be read Asimov 's for a number of year . I may not always find all of the story to my taste , however I enjoy the opportunity to read genre that I might not otherwise have read and it have help I discover author that I would have otherwise miss . overall , it be well worthwhile .
491 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 when I be a little girl I always try to steal my friend mother 's `` Cosmopolitan '' . I do not really understand what Cosmo really be , but at the time I truly believe that be what every woman read . my mother find I read it with my friend and almost lose she mind , when I come back from school a vogue be wait for I in the mailbox . I think it be my mother 's but she tell I if I be go to idolize a woman 's magazine and would not stick to my highlight or american Girl , I would idolize something sensible . I be just a little girl glance at the glossy page of high end clothing from Chanel and Yves Saint Laurent , loving each beautiful model , amaze by the greatest photo ever take for a fashion magazine -lrb- Annie Leibovitz have become the most use and artistically draw photographer use by Vogue -rrb- , and the best article that can be use for brainless reading material or important advice . six year later I be still read Vogue -lrb- and can use the advice more productively than I could have when I be twelve . -rrb- I sort of mature faster than other girl , while they be talk about who be they take for the dance , I be discuss why the price of silk and taffeta be lower due to China 's economy expansion and about Tom Ford design for the retire Yves Saint Laurent ... well not exactly but you get my point . one down side be I have get addict to the evil the Vogue bring . from it be amazing ad , I have come to love the more expensive thing in life , like designer handbag and beautiful coat . I have even go on more diet I can count -lrb- but this come from Anna Wintour , who even tell Oprah `` I would love to be on we cover -- but you have to loose 30 '' , the woman be persistant about thinness in she magazine . -rrb- however , I truly feel that I have become the woman I be today instead of boxer wear tomboy with no manners at all , because of Vogue . the reason I give only four star be because I be truly start to apperciate W Magazine . it have the need to know gossip , the longer page , and more of a down to earth approach for those who really do not associate , or can stand , the socialite world .
585 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 as Vogue document the hottest look from the world 's best designer , the entire fashion industry hold its breath in anticipation - then scramble to interpret what Vogue dictate : the magazine be that influential . if you be look for good , practical advice on cosmetic or pick the right style swimsuit for you body type , you be better off with glamour or Marie Claire . what you 'll find in Vogue be not really `` practical '' but rather high falutin ' , haute couture kind of stuff . compare to other popular woman 's magazine , what distinguish Vogue from the rest be how it successfully situate the fashion\/beauty business as a vital , viable and artistic component of culture and society . so you be not just get fashion layout to look at , but also great article on writer , architect , actor , art exhibit , and so on . most everything picture in Vogue be of course , out of the average person 's price range , and the overall magazine 's tone make no apology for this snobbery . but I still think it be a beautiful magazine to look at for its artistic vision , and for well-written article on culture .
849 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 this be order for my granddaughter out of town also . she have not yet receive it since the first issue be not schedule to arrive until early Feb. . I be sure she will enjoy it since she be familiar with magazine and love article from all over the wold . she also love animal so this should be very good for she .
132 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 my order be place July 13th ... I rcv would the `` July '' issue a couple of day ago ... so I wonder if I 'll get the August issue-b\/c it be already 8\/19\/10 ... and I only get the July issue . I be think my 1st issue would be the Sept. issue since it can take 6-10 week for the 1st issue to arrive . the first issue usually come in a plastic cover ... mine do not have one so I guess they stop the plastic cover ! I call vogue cs-they can not send I the Aug. issue ... and they do not know if I be go to get it-so they just extend my sub . 2 month .
949 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 you can not beat this price .

2 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 Cowboys and Indians be a modern american West magazine . that be , while there be historical article and reference here and there , the emphasis be on the here and now - modern western-themed fashion , art , architecture , event and happening , and so on . this be a very high-quality magazine with superb production value . lot of photo , superbly reproduce . Printed on heavy , glossy stock . ton of content . typically there be at least one celebrity article with western connection per issue -lrb- recent example be Paul Newman , Willie Nelson , and Harrison Ford -rrb- , one major architectural article , usually a large ranch or lodge , and a art article highlight a western artist . other content be always western-themed , but be all over the map , include event , entertainment , travelogue , jewelry , etc. . all well-written and worth reading . Cowboys and Indians also pack a lot of advertising content . in this case , I view that as a positive , as 95 % of it be for product and company you will not see in mass market magazine . in other word , if western product interest you , this magazine be probably the best single source to find they . my wife and I make a practice of flip through the ad at the kitchen table with coffee when a new issue come in . it also hold the price down on what would otherwise be a very expensive magazine , give its content and quality . as a whole , the magazine have a decide high-end tilt . you be not go to find inexpensive product , starter home article , etc. in this magazine . although that may sound somewhat elitist , the magazine do not come off that way .
416 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 4 this magazine be extremely well design , produce and it be content be intriguing . I would have to admit , this be pretty much gq for home renovator , meaning , most of we will never ever have enough money to buy even a faucet from any of the design . as a Graphic designer I have to say this magazine be one of my favorite to just glance at . every picture be amazing , every page be well design and lay out . the content be well write . the material use wreak polish and quality . it be not the magazine fault I be poor , but its image of extreme opulence remind I .

452 Magazine_Subscriptions POS 5 as a child , I find this magazine when I could not pronounce `` geographic '' , and adore the brilliant photography , scenery , strange-looking people and place , and be soon struggle to understand the text . my imagination be seize by the Mayans , by the Caves of Lascaux , and always by dinosaur and the other exotic plant and animal they show I . when I be a teenager my parent let I deface they old magazine to illustrate my papers on India , Japan , and anthropology . I want to be a archeologist until I find out I would have to learn a lot of language , so history be a better choice for I . travel , geology , photography , and read become passion . even as a adult , I sit down with the magazine and read it cover to cover the day it arrive , no matter what else I be read then . Whenever I stumble on really old copy -lrb- the magazine be well over a century old -rrb- , I read they to see how the magazine 's point of view have develop . this magazine have truly enriched my life . my parent try I out on various other magazine on nature , but this one be the real deal , and never talk down to I . if you be interested in the world , the universe , the past , the future , and in life , this be the magazine for you . even though they have NG magazine for various age of child now , a curious , eager child could appreciate the real one by ten .

207 Magazine_Subscriptions NEU 3 I refer to National Georgraphic Mag Jan issue where they feature Singapore . I enjoy read the article about my country as I be from Singapore and feel that the writer have capture the essence of Singapore very well . however , I be disappoint with the photo portray Singapore . the picture do not represent the modern , hi-tech and `` man-made '' beauty of the garden and the structure of the island as it should . instead , it have picture that be just show asian face or of landscape that make Singapore feel like it be back in the 60 . this warped visual view of Singapore do not potray the Singapore of today .
