title: Detailed and informative.

text: A  great magazine over historical time. Covers  a wide spectrum of vital interest.


title: always happy with it

text: Love the nat geo mag. I've gotten it for 3 years now. Always comes on time and never have any issues with changing addresses when I moved. Great articles and wonderful inspiring photography.


title: NG a GREAT deal!

text: Just received the first copy National Geographic magazine of my subscription.  It delivered excellence in photography and articles as promised.  Don't know why I've never been a subscriber. Amazon's deal beat all other the internet discounts I viewed.


title: Five Stars

text: like it


title: Love it!

text: National geographic has been in my family for generations.  I love the stories and the pictures and hope my children will get as much from it as I have.


title: great gift

text: again, your malgs are the best price of all the on line places I shop.  Wonderful giftr for my kids


title: Would take 8 weeks for 1st magazine

text: Cancelled order


title: best price, great mag

text: loved how much I saved on this mag, enjoy expanding my knowledge and this mag helps me do that, love to learn


title: Came a month early!

text: This was a gift for my daughter-in-law and she's been waiting anxiously for her first issue to arrive.  The date it was supposed to start was Nov. 1, but she got it in the mail just this past week!  Thank you for that!  I also bought myself a subscription to National Geographic, a renewal actually.  Mine was supposed to end at the start of October, but they adjusted their processing so that I never missed a magazine!  Two thumbs up and I will continue to order magazines!


title: Excellent magazine as always!

text: I ordered my subscription and received November & December 2012 and January 2013 all on the same day.  As I read one, my 22 year old son read another and my 9 year old daughter read the third.  Then we would a switch out and we even sat down and discussed what we read.  This is one magazine I will read from front to back, skipping nothing.  Thanks for this great opportunity for my scientific family to bond.


title: Magazine Great - Fulfillment not so much

text: Ordered magazine -- didn't come for several weeks.  Then 3 months came on the same day.  Kind of defeats the monthly nature of the periodical.


title: National Geographic Magazine

text: National Geographic Magazine was purchased through Amazon.  I called National Georgraphic to check if this publication would be received in a timely manner as it was a gift for my son.  I was told that because it was purchased through an "outside source" that it would take longer - possible 8 weeks or more.  How disappointing for me!  I am not happy.  Thanks


title: Always stimulating

text: My husband lights up when he gets home from work and finds a new National Geographic waiting on his ottoman.


title: National geographic magazine

text: Received much earlier then expected very very pleased I will be ordering the little kids geographic and the kids geographic for my other children


title: amazon is awful

text: I ordered National Geographic and Smisthsonian for myself and 7 other people for christmas gift....NOT ONE PERSON WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE ARE TO RECEIVE THESE MAGAZINES.....I HAVE 8 PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO IDEA THAT I SENT GIFT SUBSCRIPTIONS. AMAZON WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY...PASSES IT ON TO THEIR MAGAZINE SERVICE WHO ALSO WON'T TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.  AMAZON SAID I COULD HAVE PRINTED A CARD AND MAILED IT MYSELF....WHAT HAPPENED TO INTERNET CONVIENECE. ICOMPLAINED TO AMAZON AND ALL I GOT WAS SOMEONE IN THE PHILLIPINES WHO WAS WORTHLESS.


title: My daughter loves it.

text: My daughter loves the hidden objects portion of the magazine.


title: Good book.

text: It's useful for me.


title: Garbage. Another great institution lost to the taudry elite

text: Garbage.<br />Another great institution lost to the taudry elite.


title: Old Reliable...

text: Excellent photography.  Most articles are well written, and address current world issues.  Sometimes they include extras such as maps or charts.


title: Too Much of a Good Thing

text: I purchased a year of National Geographic because I know I like to read it.  Therefore, I have nothing but the highest rating for it.  It took one month and twelve days to receive it, which is acceptable.  However, I received the March and April editions on the same day.  This caused a downrating of one star.  A month-old edition is certainly readable, but getting two in one day is a real disappointment.


title: Received old outdated issues.

text: Don't waste your time. Still waiting for NG to get back to me after almost two weeks


title: Just Right

text: A subscription to NG is truly what every adult needs to keep their mind sharp and continually learning.  It's a small start, but it's a good one.  Pictures are amazing, and the stories are always vast and expansive.


title: Call of the Wild

text: Love keeping in touch with nature it's like coming home.


title: Money

text: I'm afraid the only thing I now. need is money.


Same great articles. Except in a nice big print. Could have been a tad smaller but all in all good.


title: Did not get what was ordered

text: I ordered the large print edition of the National Geographic magazine. What I am receiving is a normal-sized print. This is useless to me since the purpose of the magazine was for my disabled father to be able to read it.


title: If you only get one delivery it should be this one.

text: Still a great magazine, doing things no other magazine can do.


title: National Geographic

text: The name speaks fir itself.  National Geographic has always been a great source for people from all walks of life to learn and explore.


title: British Version Recieved in US

text: Great magazine and came a little later than I expected (more than a month after ording) but no complaints. However they seem to have shipped me the British version as all of the inlays have UK addresses


title: Explore the world !

text: Bought this for my 15yr old son. He looks forward to this magazine every month.


title: Amazing book.

text: I like this book very much.price is very low cost.My son 12 years old also spend his rest time to read National geographic.


title: Very good book

text: I have been getting National Geographic for many years and it is a very good magazine.I will contiune it for many years after.


title: Great Gift

text: A great Christmas gift appreciated by my family.  Thank you for a price that is competitive and a magazine that is worth far more.


title: received new issues in a timely mannor.

text: Read a couple of horror stories about never getting your issues and such but figured for $15 no biggie. so I added more issues to my recently  expired  subscription The estimated start date was march 31<br />Received my first issues about  4 weeks later no problem ordered Jan 3 received first two issues feb 4.


title: I feel this is still a great magazine.

text: I have read this my whole life since the time I was a kid until now. I have been a subscriber for years and I really appreciate this mag. Still a great magazine.


title: Changing History

text: You think a magazine such as National Geographic would be about facts and true reporting of those facts of the world we are living in  today. But , no, the Arab states money has clouded their facts slightly and made them into something of a fiction. They tried to change the Persian Gulf to Arabian Gulf, thinking no one would notice???? Well, Persia was there thousands of years a go and its one of the oldest civilisations of  the world. New Arabian money can not and will not change that history and will not rename the Persian Gulf. Changing history usually happens when parts of history have been forgotten. Well iran and Iranians live and their history has not and will never be forgotten. As long as one Iranian lives , Persian gulf will remain Persian.


title: Great articles

text: I like the variety in each issue. From at home to international.  Also articles that challenge at times. I love the readers photo section.


title: Great magazine

text: I like especially the pictures, and I got it at a good price. Some articles, claiming to be "scientific" actually seem to me more like science fiction, for they are highly speculative... I like to joke that, out of an old bone they find, they can even tell the gossip that went around in the town at the time. Their political agenda is also quite plain.<br />However, the pictures are gorgeous, and I love to see God's creation and its beauty.


title: Nat Geo is fab

text: What can one say that has not been said. Nat Geo is a one of a kind armchair visit to places one would never get to in  ones lifetime. Young or old, it is an appreciated addition to ones reading.


title: Cancelled my subscrioption that goes back to 1966!!!

text: I had been a member of "National Geographic Magazine" way back to 1966 and would like to know What in the world does "TRANSGENDER" have to do with Geography???  Or Science for that matter?  After paying my subscription in full last year, I was sent a notice from "National Geographic" that my subscription was being cancelled because I did not pay!  After about 50 emails including me sending my bank statement 4 times proving definitively that I had paid my subscription in full, the National Geographic office simply stopped answering my emails!!!!!!!  How very Professional!  You can sell your rag to somebody else now!  Farewell for ever!!


This magazine never disappoints.  Personally I like to see more about endangered species.  This problem must be stopped.


title: NAT GEO ALWAYS ROCKS

text: We are NAT GEO fanatics and read it cover to cover and save them for years.  Excellent price, thank you Amazon!


So informative! After all these years I still think the pictures are the best.


title: Five Stars

text: what can I say it's National Geographic


title: Great

text: I would order this magazine

attachment_type: IMAGE


title: A classic

text: Great pictures and stories.  First I read it and then I leave it in my waiting room where it is read until the cover falls off!


title: Awesome

text: Good reads !


title: Great worldwide stories.

text: I love the photography but was disappointed with the decreased page size and cheaper paper quality.


title: THE BEST Skiing Magazine PERIOD

text:
What can I say about Powder Mag.  Its awesome.  Don't waste your time on Ski or Skiing.  That is unless you want to plan on how to build your multi-million ski cabin at Jackson Hole or plan your vacation to Aspen.  Nothing touches Powder with respect to capturing the heart and soul of the powder hound.  The photographs are glossy and magnificent and the stories span topics from skining across Patagonia to skiing in Lebanon to paying tribute to pioneers of the skiing community who helped build the sport.

This publication has helped feed my need for the mountains even when I found myself living in flat places over the years.  The writing is superb and totally written from a perspective of someone who loves the sport not the LIFESTYLE of living in Vail or Tahoe.  All sports specific publications should be this good.  Get it now!


title: Great if your attention span is less than 30 seconds

text: I purchased this magazine solely to get cheaper access to ESPN Insider Online.  The magazine is so all over the place otherwise that its hardly worth reading.  Its chock full of tidbits that barely gloss over sports topics.  I keep it in my bathroom and I guess its good there when I only have a few minutes to read while brushing my teeth or whatnot.  Don't expect SI-type depth though, its full of ads and slick factoid type departments.  Reading this magazine is like watching Sportscenter, a lot of many little things with no depth on anything.  I guess its worth it for less than 60 cents an issue, but if I sat down to read this magazine cover to cover I would be done with it totally in under 15 minutes....enjoy.


title: Has this magazine run out of things to write about?

text:
I am 28 years old and I have every issue of this magazine that has been published since I was born (thanks Mom & Dad for the ongoing subscription).  It used to be the gold standard of magazines...well, its really a Journal publication.

The photography featured in the magazine is still top notch and beautiful.  However, since when did subjects like Cafeine and Stem Cells (both recent cover stories) have anything to do with geography?  This magazine used to spin tales of expeditions to far flung lands and interesting tribes and so on.  Perhaps its a testament to the fact that we are all becoming more and more globalized and the cultures of the world are becoming more and more homogonized with every passing year, but it seems some of the subject matter as of late is really stretching the scope of the publication.

Second, I recall as a child and adolescent receiving the maps that came with the editions every 3 or 4 months.  They would adorn the walls of my bedroom and eventually even my college dorm room.  But in the past five years it seems that these fold outs have included things like pictures of dinosaurs, ancient fish, and big elephants.....not so geographical.

I remember reading articles about people summitting mountains and dogsledding to the South Pole and now we get cover stories entitled "Love: The Chemical Reaction"....what?


title: This magazine has lost a bit in the past couple years....

text:
This magazine used to be a great resource for hard core bakcpackers with articles about transcendent survival stories and epic backpacking opportunities all over the world.  In the past couple years they have changed their format drastically and have focused on "regional" editions and over the top gadget and gear coverage for total gear-wonks.

Don't get me started on the useless monthly section entitled "Social Climber" where people write into to ask what's socially acceptable on the trail with regard to fashion and things of that nature.  You are backpacking for crying out loud...who cares?

It seems to have lost some of its humanity and original vision.  I have subscribed to this mag for about 10 years and I used to be able to read it cover to cover, now I am lucky if there is one or article worth reading.


title: BIG MESS UP

text:
I have had this magazine around me most of my eighty plus years.  Know it well!  The subscription is for son, John in 2014, Newnan, Ga.  He has a subscription for 2013.  Still not sure your group has this straitened out?

P.S.  I have answered your review requests on items below.  Do not enjoy the repeated requests.  I am not writing ads for you!
  Please do not make this request every time I make a purchase!  It is not customer friendly!.


title: Stunning Photography

text: The best thing about National Geographic is the photography. I like this magazine because it allows you to travel the world from the comfort of your favorite chair.The articles are a little boring sometimes.(The reviewer was compensated for posting this review.  However, the opinion stated in the review is that of the reviewer and the reviewer alone. Further, the reviewer independently selected this product to review and has no affiliation with the product maker/distributor, Amazon or the review requester.)


title: Have not received magazine

text: I still have not received the magazine.  I ordered it back in early September,and was hoping to have gotten an issues by now.


title: great magazine

text: we watch Nat geo on tv and we also get the magazine. its fun to learn about other parts of the world and learn new and exciting things. i would highly recommend this magazine.

title: as good as I remembered

text: there is no other magazines that shows the world to us more then National Geographic.  I loved it when I was a kid, and I love it even more now.


title: Five Stars

text: good


title: Having a Problem Changing Billing Address

text: I ordered this magazine for my son on 6/22/08.  He has yet to receive his first issue and now has a new address.  I'm having a terrible time trying to correct the shipping address.


title: Five Stars

text: Nothing to add.


title: Good gift

text: Always a good choice.  An excellent learning magazine plus having great pictures with the articles.  Makes a really nice gift.


title: the greatest?

text: Is it safe to say that National Geographic is the finest magazine in the world? OK. I'll go out on a limb and say it: "National Geographic is the finest magazine in the world." There. I've said it. You simply cannot beat the always compelling writing about far-off and far-out places and thing, the stunning photography and the unobtrusive design that allows the reader to concentrate on both. Bonus: Maps! National Geographic usually has a few issues a year that feature suitable for the office wall-type maps. Who doesn't love maps? Never subscribed? Look for 3-4 long (probably about 6,000-8,000 words) features per issue. Each feature impecably written, painstakingly researched and accompanied by those jaw dropping photos. This is must-have stuff and it kicks the stuffing out of another night of TV.


title: NGC: one of its kind

text: Recently purchased National Geo's yearly subscription through Amazon just for $10 with free shipping..and must say it is worth a buy without making a hole in your pocket. The magazine is loaded with information and technology issues to keep you updated with the world. The only con I feel is the little smaller size of the magazine(although wont make any difference with the reading; but could have been better with the larger size). Still I would strongly recommend this product on grounds of quality and quantity for such a cheap price..even can be a great gift to give!!


title: love it but not fully accessible

text:
Am delighted to see digital only edition pop up on my Galaxy Note 8, once a month.  Disapponited that the imbedded video/media content does not work.

The feature that allows a text only reading version makes it easy to enjoy the articles.  Then I go back and look at the pictures a 2nd and third time.

Love, love this magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: This was a particularly interesting and insightful edition of National Geographic.


title: Don't Buy!

GREAT MAGAZINE - BUT ...

I can not stress to you enough not to buy this on Amazon through Synapse Services, Inc. You will not get your magazine, you will not receive a refund, and you will waste your time and money!  Flush your money, it's more effictive way to get rid of it.

I purchased NG for my father in June 6th 2010 as a renewal to his subscription which was expiring on Feburary 2011.  I just got a last chance renewal from NG, they say my subscription is expiring?  It should be good till Feburary 2012!  They said they did receive an order from Synapse on June 10th but then it was canceled by Synapse in July?

NG was nice enough to give me Synapse's phone number 877-813-0320.  Be sure to press 0 and go for the agent, even though it won't help you, the supervisor can't help you either!

I just got off a long phone call with Synapse Services, Inc. they canceled the subscription for no reason on their end.  They never fullfilled the request?  They say they refunded, but there is no refund, Amazon still has it listed active?  I just wanted the magazine, they had already received payment why did they cancel it?  They can't tell me?  I have never been so disatisfied with a company in my life.  I will be contacting Amazon, contacting the Credit Card company for payment with no service, BBB for failure to produce service, etc.  I will also issue a invoice to them for my wasted time!

Basically what this company does is when they receive the actual payment from Amazon they then call up NG and cancel your subscription so they don't have to pay NG and they keep the money.  Wow; what a great money making business!!!


title: National Geographic Magazine - One Of The Best Year After Year!

text: The National Geographic is a fabulous magazine - one of the best.  The stories take you far and wide in the world and brings cultural, religious, scientific and human interest stories right to your door month after month.  The information is up to date and accurate no matter what they are covering.  You can't go wrong subscribing to the National Geographic magazine.


title: Wonderful Subscription

text: Who doesn't love National Geographic! They are great magazines to collect, and absolutely no trouble with the subscription or renewing it.

title: National Geographic is the best

text: This magazine is the best for the money. I love reading each issue about different things in the world or different people. The pictures are awesome. I can be anywhere in the world read it and learn about new things. thanks National Geo for letting me view the world from my home and learn more about other people.

title: THE VOICE OF ONE CRYING OUT IN THE WILDERNESS...

text:
A rose in Hell would be all the fairer as a God-breathed thing casting its beauty even in depths of darkness.

I have grown quite fond of National Geographic Magazine over the past few years. I am not a subscriber. My parents are. Yet, even as occasional bathroom lit, this magazine has enlightened me on much and changed my view on a subject more than once.

Is there any greater prophetic voice calling out in the wilderness today? None that I have found.

National Geographic has been going after some HUGE issues: the diamond trade, modern slavery, global warming, the epidemic of obesity, nuclear waste. They have covered these issues well and cast a bright light on many of the world's darkest places.

In this new age--where we have been softened and too often cozened by the prevalence of opinion, attitude and style over fact--National Geographic is the one place I know I can go for hard hitting journalism and writing (and excellent images--let's not forget that here) that rises above ...

title: Great magazine

text: I bought this magazine subscription for my son, he is extremely happy with this and waits impatiently for each issue.


title: National Geographic-Always a god choice

text: I have been a reader of NG for many years, and my sons (ages, 16, 21 & 22) look forward to it arrival every month as much as I do.


title: Very informative magazine

text:
My husband reads this cover to cover and cannot wait for the next issue to come,.

I also gave a gift subscription to my granddaughter who is a teacher. she refers to some
articles for her classroom.


title: not worth subscribing to

text: National Geographic now stands and promotes only Left-wing agendas and views. No longer the magazine it used to be.


title: Many Years of Value

text: National Geographic has been in my family for generations.  There is always something interesting, and we love it!  Thank you!

text: Great


title: Five Stars

text: Loved it!!!


title: Leading the Way

text: I have been a subscriber for over 30 years and can say with all honesty, this is the best travel magazine. Not only is it easy to read, its breathtaking photos make places and issues so interesting, you just cannot put it down.<br />Believe it or not, I took out a subscription for a prisoner on death row who has become a friend. He thoroughly enjoys it and each issue gets passed from cell to cell and is read by approximately 30 people. For me, this is a great investment in the lives of all those who are able to read it, in spite of their circumstances.


title: The Journal that takes you on a never-ending Journey

text: Excellent photos and accounts of travels. The journal is very well produced and each article takes you on a journey and compensat well for my inability to vist all the places profiled. I highly recommend it, as not only does it awaken one's interest in travel, it also sustains it.


title: A jolly good read

text: I have been a Time subscriber for at least twenty years. I have also introduced friends to it. I find it informative, unbiased and and varied in the range of issues covered. The milestones section is my favourite. It is always good to applaud people for their contributions to society and Time does this well. I recommend it highly.


title: Journalistic delight

text:
Vanity Fair is a heaven for readers, and it must be a workers heaven for a journalist.
It's filled with article's, feature's, fact's et al, so well investigated and written that it should be used for educational purposes for young jornalist's in other countries -- in Denmark, indeed.
It's dangerous and its beatifull for the understanding of reporting often "dangerous" stuff about dangerous people in dangerous places.
I read it wit great pleasure as a tough reporter, as an editor, and as a journalistic advisor -- and centainly as a real READER.


title: Magnificent photos and facts

text: I've never heard about about a magazine recieving a Nobel Prize -- even if the svedes are clever people. BUT IF it should happen, then National Geographic is on the top of my list. It might be a handfull to read this astonising accurate world of information, but you KNOW it's facts. This is journalism in mega-class. But the pictures is breathaking .. I've never -- ever -- seen anything as good as in the National Geographic; they are indeed in a class for them self. I've loved the protos here since before I could read -- and I never travel without a copy -- they should be awarded a Nobel Prize .. for .. i don't know .. something.


title: Spellbinding

text: As a journalist in little old Denmark I can't stop to admire the wonderfull in-dept-writing about "new and old" things. You'r allways a litte bit wiser when you have spent just a couple of minutes with the journalist's in Discover. It's just so .. good.

I remember reading this publication when I was younger and being pulled in time and time again. I am disappointed with the liberalism that is engrained in every issue. I just wish it was more unbiased reading for my family. There is enough of that stuff in the main stream media as it is, not you too National Geographic :(


title: Bad customer service

text: I subscribed for a friend in prison and he never got one copy and I complained and never got a response or a credit for anything.


title: A fallen star, very disappointing

text:
I have a collection that goes back to 1965, and I have been a subscriber for some 20 years.
The magazine; however, has become the province of the radical environmetalist movement. The editorial content leans heavily toward the left, and the choice and variety of articles has degenerated over the years. Even the quality of the writing has been eroded as the magazine tries to reach a wider audience with its leftist environmental propaganda.
In sum, a great publication has been hijacked by a group of irrational environmentalists who have little interest in any subject other than trees and the occasional politically correct topic.


title: Four Stars

text: Great pRice


No need to weigh in on transgender. I was very disappointed that NG felt the need. Will not renew.


title: National Geography magazine

text: National geography magazine.....excellent for family reading...also with great photography, if you dont have time to travel around. This a a good deal from amazon, $15 for subscription of one year.

text: Just as great as your remembered it! the beautiful pictures are all still there but with different angles. An escape from the world today


title: culturally and scientifically important publication pretty well die by being bought by a media agency ...

text:
My children and I have agreed to let our subscription run out. This is a major travesty to see such a historically, culturally and scientifically important publication pretty well die by being bought by a media agency that stands against everything it has long stood for.  It is not an issue of conservatives or liberals, it is the fact that a publication that has for so long been unbiased has become just that.

National Geographic has traditionally been one of the most well-known sources of scientific information, and Fox News is where any semblance of scientific knowledge goes to be beaten mercilessly with socks full of pennies before being unceremoniously dumped in a vat full of acid in Bill O’Reilly’s basement for easy disposal.

National Geographic promised that there would be no editorial “meddling” from 21st Century Fox, Murdoch is already getting involved in other ways, specifically by laying off hundreds of the staff that made the company worth acquiring in the first place.  My family and I are choosing to say no to a renewal.  We might be interested in a renewal if the company gets purchased by an unbiased agency and all employees are returned to former status and employment.  We refuse to fund a product that has turned out to be soiled from the purchase and greed influenced restructuring.

Thanks but no thanks.  And below is exactly what was given to those hundreds of employees.

As the new management ordered in the hundreds of great workers into a meeting, this is what they were greeted with.

“To all NGS Staff:

“After very careful and serious consideration, we are ready to communicate how our restructuring and transformation will affect each employee at National Geographic. To that end, please make every effort to be available tomorrow, November 3rd, either in your regular work location, and/or by phone.

“If you are traveling for business, on vacation or plan to be out for any other reason, please notify Tia Freeman-Evans or Yvonne Perry in HR immediately, so we can make alternative plans to get in touch with you. If you know that someone on your staff will be out of the office on November 3rd, please let Tia or Yvonne know by 3 p.m. (Eastern) today, as well.

“Please watch your inbox for important information about your employment status tomorrow.

“I cannot thank you enough for your patience and hard work over the last few months. I am proud of how our teams and our organization have approached and responded to this transitional period. Looking ahead, I am confident National Geographic’s mission will be fulfilled in powerful, new and impactful ways, as we continue to change the world through science, exploration, education and storytelling.

Gary”

text: The beautiful photographs and well written articles made me wonder why I waited so long to subscribe to National Geographic.


title: 3 copies at once

text:
I received Dec. Jan, & Feb. at the same time. I didn't want back issues as
  I had bought them at the book store. I was told I would receive my first copy
  in Feb. so I planned accordingly and had already purchased the Dec. & Jan. copies.
  Not happy with receiving back copies.

title: Good value with great pictures

text:
Great photography, writing, maps, charts, etc.
Hard not to notice a left-wing political ideology (coal was a recent target, for instance. I guess it is better for people to freeze than dare to light a coal fire)
Of course, they adhere to the Global Warming hoax, even though every Ice Age in Earth history ended thanks to global warming).
Overall, though, a good value.


title: More "Rolling Stone" than "Popular Science" - More sizzle than steak.

text: Inconsistent editorial content. Some good info about technology in general and some practical advice regarding the hacking/spam universe, but it's buried beneath the ubiquitous Hollywood plugs. Quite superficial, actually.


title: Always a keeper

text: There is no other magazine like it.  We read it and can't seem to throw it away.  The pictures alone are amazing.


title: Five Stars

text: great reading


title: It's a great magazine, however

text: It's a great magazine, however, I purchased the subscription in November and at the end of December I got three issues on the same date.  I wanted a year's subscription, not one late magazine (Novembers) and then Dec and Jan as well.  I expected one per month to last a year, not a quarter year's worth all delivered at the same time.  I don't have the time to read three issues a month, especially during the holiday season when much is going on.


title: Staying power

text: The New Yorker is not your typical fluff magazine with celebrity covers, beauty tips or other nonsense. It's full of thoughtful and provocative writing which will inform you and captivate you. If you're curious about the world and want to be on the cutting edge when it comes to current events, arts and others you'll be pleased with The New Yorker. It also has great sports articles, the kind of writing you tend to miss if you were a Sports Illustrated reader 30 years ago.

title: I like it, and I'm not Texan

text:
On february 2005 I went to Houston for a week, and I had heard of Texas Monthly, so I picked it up at the airport when I got there. It was a pleasant company during my laundry at the hotel I have to say! Beautifully designed, with interesting and thought-provoking articles. I am glad I got it, so glad I even got me a subscription. Highly recommendable.

I can say you will always read deep, interesting articles in subjects that, even though they can be Texan or about situations set in that state, always are of universal interest.

Of course, there's the comprehensive "Around the State" feature that tells you about all sets of activities going through TX, from sports to ballet, music to art shows. Another mainstay is the Dining Guide, with authoritative reviews of restaurants. They will rotate the reviews, and you might find a recipe of your interest often.

The semi-editorial "Behind the Lines", mostly written by Paul Burka, might tend to discuss either Texas politics or media issues. It's worth a read, because it's always beautifully written.

And there are the columns, from the likes of Patricia Kilday Hart, Don Graham, Sarah Bird, and Oscar Casares, from many others. You'll see they will always discuss politics, or art, literature, or their life's experiences.. Or just trying to be plain funny. Bird is not as funny as her predecessor, Governor hopeful Kinky Friedman, but she's well on her way. Casares' pieces are always about his dealings with being a English-speaking Hispanic from the border.

The "Texas Monthly Reporter" is interesting, deals with (yet again) a Texan subject but almost certain to catch everyone's eye: be injured soldiers or a small-town coach who was fired (and her life turned into a misery) because of her sexual orientation.

Skip Hollandsworth, Mimi Swartz, S.C. Gwynne, and many others, will give you features that, in the time of my subscription so far, have been varied and never dull: Dan Rather, the power struggle over Methodist Hospital and Baylor University, Violence in Nuevo Laredo, the unsolved 1960s murder of Irene Garza, Texas road trips, a socialite who paid time in the state penitentiary for ripping off high-end department store Neiman Marcus...

The topics are so many and even though the first mention of them would not probably make you interested, read on because the quality of the writers and the way they research their subjects, are sure to keep you reading on.

And don't forget to check the Texas Monthly Talks section. Editor Evan Smith sits down and chats to interesting people, from Lance Armstrong to many others.

The photography? Top-notch. They have been able to afford the luxury of hosting names like Mary Ellen Mark, Helmut Newton, Annie Leibovitz, just to name a few.

It has always made me wonder why this isn't a national magazine, certainly it's better than many others who are distributed across the US. Well, you can always pick up a subscription.

Pros: Great articles, photography; comprehensive dining guide.

Cons: Too many advertising sections, the perfume samples make it look like Vanity Fair.


title: Good to understand the world, if you can stand their bias

text: The Guardian is one of the best newspapers in the world. Beautifully designed, great pictures and amazing content. It is one of the most internationally-thought newspapers around, and it gives you a different perspective, other than The New York Times' or the Washington Post's. But, and this is a big BUT, you have to understand that everything is being written with a bias towards the left. I've come to understood that when they started to show their love for Venezuelan thug Hugo Chavez. Anyway, it is an important read for understanding world affairs.


title: Just shoot me

text: You know "Blush" magazine? Its fictional headquarters are the set of the NBC sitcom Just Shoot Me. You read their headlines and article ideas, and you know they're based on this little piece of waste! What shocks me is that I know 13-year-old girls get their dose of sex and guys information from it. Very shallow, they try to be so sophisticated it ends up being naive! Stay away from it


title: THE magazine

text: There are magazines which concentrate in just one subject. There are magazines about current events. But National Geographic is a magazine that, using Geography as an excuse, it permits itself to tackle every subject imaginable. I look at it as the ultimate GENERAL INTEREST magazine. (Not by chance this magazine every month is translated and published in just about any language, including Spanish, Portuguese and Polish, just to name some. I read particularly the Spanish edition, being my native language. I've tried the English edition but some technical words makes it a little harder, but not too much)<br />It is a must if you want to understand the world and everything in it, it is no longer just a geography magazine, since they have featured stories ranging from coca plantations and the dangers of cocaine (January 1989) to baseball (minor leagues, april 1991). I dare you to look in the publications index at ... /publications and search for any subject you think of, no matter how subtle or frivolous might seem. I am sure you'll find something about it. And of course, the photography and the writing is always superb. It is not supposed to be a very technical magazine, since it is targeted to the general public. So why don't you give yourself an unlimited passport to anywhere in the world, and a textbook for everything this planet has on it?


title: The baseball benchmark

text: I didn't refer to Baseball America as such. It was Cardinals GM Walt Jocketty who said it. And who am I to contradict? The best columnists in the game, from Peter Gammons, Tracy Ringolsby and Jayson Stark, to detailed information in ALL of baseball, from the Major Leagues to Japan, stats, scores, and the best and most extensive resource on prospect information, there's not a single serious fan in all of baseball who deserves such a title if is not a Baseball America subscriber. You got to read it if you want to know the stars of tomorrow (being tomorrow 6 years or 2 months). Top 10 prospects from every team till its massive Top 100 list, Baseball America covers it all. I know, I have been subscribed for 2 years now, and I can't think of living without it!


title: A Great Companion

text: This magazine has so much information and the most stunning photographs of all land and seascapes. It is a good companion on any journey, especially when you want to remove yourself in your mind's eye from your surroundings. I recommend it.


title: Journeys of My Mind

text: Everytime I read this, I travel to whereever the article takes me. I feel as though I have been around the world and back, having had the best of what each country could offer. I amsolutely love it.


title: Enjoyable and convenient

text: Only read one digital issue thus far but was pleased with the quality, and the added video clips bringing more depth to the article. - review by Matt Ardaiz


title: great

title: Five Stars

text: Excellent magazine!


title: Best magazine around!!

text: NatGeo is by far, the best magazine around for world issues.  Whether it's about geography, people, weather, global health issues, etc., they cover it with easy-to-understand writing, fantastic photography, and great illustrations.  I've been subscribing since 1986, and the best price for it is through Amazon.


I'm just addicted to this. Visual candy mixed with great information.


title: National Geographic - Excellent, for the most part

text:
National Geographic has been the one of the iconic staple magazines in American homes since its first publication in October of 1888.  Since then, the trademark yellow border (around the edges of the cover) has been a familiar sight to many, if not most Americans.  But, exactly, what is the National Geographic magazine?  It is a publication of the National Geographic Society, a nonprofit scientific and educational organization "for the increase and diffusion of geographic knowledge" whose goal is "inspiring people to care about the planet."
The National Geographic Society also publishes other magazines similar to National Geographic but directed toward a specific audience.  These magazines include: National Geographic Traveler, National Geographic Kids, National Geographic Little Kids, National Geographic Explorer, National Geographic Young Explorer, and National Geographic Extreme Explorer.
National Geographic is a monthly magazine that provides informative articles about geography, popular science, world history, current events, and technology for a wide audience of readers.  Another hallmark of National Geographic is the magnificent photography that fills each issue.  The photography is excellent, often breathtaking.  Half, full, two-page spreads, and three-page pull out sections throughout the magazine are more than insightful.  These pictures offer the average National Geographic reader a view of the world, through the lens of a camera, from remote places where they are not likely to travel.
Each issue has one or two feature articles, which are longer and more in-depth, and many secondary articles that add interesting tidbits to ones perspective on life.  Another notable aspect of National Geographic is that the bulk of the advertisements is typically found at the beginning and end of the magazine as opposed to interspersed throughout.  This helps to keep the articles de-cluttered and minimizes distraction for the reader.
National Geographic is a very popular magazine.  According to Amazon.com, it is rated number one in history magazines, number one in travel and regional magazines, and number one in science in nature subcategory nature and ecology magazines.  Its popularity speaks for its influence.  And why is it so influential?  It is so influential because of its revered excellence.
The name National Geographic is equated with scholarly excellence and accuracy.  National Geographic is world-renowned for their top-notch research and exploration which go into each quality article and accompanying pictures.  The nation, and the world, has accepted National Geographic as the standard of excellence in society.  Their accuracy and truth in the information that is presented cannot be argued with.  For the validity of their reporting, I can hardly find fault with the makers of National Geographic.
One aspect of the magazine, however, does concern me to a degree.  National Geographic does have a very biased slant which is part-liberal, part-evolutionary and part-environmental extremist.  As with almost all research and reporting these days, it has a definite stance on subjects; it is a slant that is, for the most part, very evident in their writing.  They present their perspective on a story which may or may not be the correct perspective.
National Geographic magazine is also extremely, and blatantly, evolutionary in bias and thought.  The authors and editors make no secret that this worldview fills the magazine's pages.  In the February 2010 issue, an article titled "Hubble, renewed" states that the "universe itself is but 13.7 billion years old."  In addition, many articles frequently refer to both human and animal evolution.  Interestingly, however, when describing other natural phenomena, such as the symbiotic-like relationship of clownfish and coral, they don't mention how such a relationship could evolve.
Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that National Geographic is wrong or incorrect because they put their bias in their articles.  On the contrary, people are free to say what they like and to put it in print for all of the world to see (such as I am doing now).  This is one of the freedoms granted to us as Americans; it is the freedom of speech.  However, I am saying that a person, depending on their convictions, should be careful about which sources they get their news or research from depending on whether or not they regard it as truth.
The fact is, as much as any of us would like to believe it, sometimes we can't prove the things we believe in, or disprove the things that we don't.  All we can do is take the knowledge that we gain from various different sources to create our own insights on life.  It is important for us to realize, however, that biases, even slight ones, can creep into our lives and become a significant influence, either for good or for bad.
In addition, people should have experience with many different views on life's issues.  This is beneficial at times when he or she are confronted with a conversation or debate which discusses those particular issues.  If we want to intelligently converse about issues, we have to know the facts of those issues.
As a whole, I think that National Geographic is a very informative and interesting magazine that offers me insights into aspects of areas that I would not otherwise necessarily explore.  In that sense, it broadens my scope on life and exposes me to many fascinating things.  It is also a magazine that is, for the most part, reliable and trustworthy.  However, while I read with curiosity, I also read with an evaluatory mindset.  Not everything is exact truth, but it might not be bogus either.
Articles used for review: February 2010 (Polygamy in America: One Man, Five Wives, 46 Children), January 2010 (Merging Man and Machine: The Bionic Age), and December 2009 (Are We Alone?: Searching the Heavens for Another Earth).

title: Great magazine! Well worth $15/year.

text: Well worth the $15/month (The papers inside the magazine sell it for $39!). Gets read by me and all my roommates every month.


title: Never received Subscription

text: I subscibed to this magazine for over 6 motnhs now, however this magazine never reached, even though the statas says "Shipped" i was very disappointed.


title: Love it!

text: My students love to read these magazines! They love to stay up on what is going on in the world!


title: A bit behind...

text: I ordered 5 months ago and have yet to receive one issue....


title: Information gathered

text: Love it


title: Great price and prompt delivery

text: I could not find a lower price for an annual subscription of National Geographic than that offered by Amazon.com.  The first issue of the magazine arrived seven weeks after I placed my order.


title: Buy it, but not here

text: National Geographic is an awesome magazine, and I would not hesitate getting a subscription, but I would not get it here.  If you go to National Geographic's website and click on the 'subscribe' link, you can get it for only $15 for 12 issues.  Plus, you don't have to deal with a third party distributor if you order direct from the source.


title: Wasn't too happy about that

text: I had signed up for your rate and they charged me $49.  I had to call to get it straight.  Wasn't too happy about that.  But I do like the magazine.  but not the billing problem.


title: Beware!

text: I tried to leave no stars, but I wasn't allowed.  Don't do it...you'll never get it.  Shame on Amazon for not removing this subscription as an option.


title: Five Stars

text: Always spectacular!

title: Still a very good magazine BUT not quite as great as it used to be!

text: I first became a subscriber in 1969 and continued by subscription through 2012.  I still believe that National Geographic Magazine is one of the best in its area (travel, photography, interesting stories, and, of course, maps) but in recent years there has been added focus on non-geographic, non-travel areas including scientific topics that bear no relationship to what is perceived by most to be the mission of the National Geographic Society.  I reluctantly decided to cancel my subscription because of this divergence from mission but also because of the constant effort to charge me more and more for a renewal when new subscribers could pay half as much or less!  It seems that rewarding loyal 40-year-plus subscribers is not important to the National Geographic Society.  However, I still buy several gift subscriptions because the recipients still like the magazine and are not concerned about the rising cost to me.  This purchase was one of my 3 gift subscriptions that I have been giving for over 15 years.


title: Great magazine

text: My Grandson loves it!


title: Not like it used to be few yrs ago

text: Precisely two things have prompted me to subscribe to this once great,astonishing journal. 1st, at a very young age,i used to admire at the type of coverage,photos,quality of the paper etc of this book..so when i saw this offer of $10 for a yr's subscription, i jumped high up in the air as i thought i could relive my old days and also to show case the beauty of this to my 2yr son. but honestly, my son liked(the way i made and essayed him the stories out of the photos) it but i felt that it really did not live up to its once renowned reputation as there are too many pages of commercial ads( i can understand the need of it) with very less,little coverage.. however the quality of whatever was given were still good.<br />finally, but for the more pages dedicated to ads, i still rate it good and might continue the next yr as well


title: A must have

text: Great


title: Make sure you receive you're full subscription!

text: Poor customer service from NG.  I used Amazon to renew my present subscription.  When I received my first issue, I also received 2 older issues.  These older issues of NG were ones I already had.  It turns out I'm then only receiving a 10 month subscription to the magazine.  When I inquired with customer service at NG, they blew me off and deferred me to Amazon.  They should have taken care of it ASAP.


title: Best of its kind

text: Always have loved Geographic and hope it will be welcomed as a holiday gift.  You never know with magazine subscriptions, but Geographic is a case of its own.


title: Five Stars

text: gift


title: Five Stars

text: gift.


title: National Geographic

text: This was ordered for my granddaughter out of town also.  She has not yet received it since the first issue is not scheduled to arrive until early Feb.  I am sure she will enjoy it since she is familiar with magazine and love articles from all over the wold.  She also loves animals so this should be very good for her.


title: Service is becoming progressively worse, CS unknowledgeable of issues

text:
I did not order this through Amazon, I ordered directly from National Geographic.
Everytime I call their customer service to help me with my digital access, they tell me something I already did. "Go to this link and follow instructions to download it on Android and Kindle..." like I am so dumb that I haven't already done that before calling. Mind you that I called the customer service for support, right? Turns out that if I don't know how to fix it, then they don't know it too! Worst is that I feel like they do not care at all.

The very late first print delivery is ok, I don't mmind that but being unable to access it on my handheld devices is really frustrating. Of course I cannot bring with me my desktop which is the only device I can access it from. I called in like 5 times, they can never tell me when my print will arrive; the can't tell me how I can access my digital access on Google Newstand that keeps saying "unable to verify subscription"; they cannot help me download it on my Kindle (they told me to go to that link again which obviously doesn't apply to me). I asked, is there ever a National Geographic APP I can download so I do not have to go through third party to access my magazine. You know what the lady said? "Oh we have an app, but you can only download it through Google Newsstand". This lady doesn't understand or probably has not been inside Google Newsstand to classify NAt GEO magazine there as an APP.  You only get to download a copy of magazine in the newsstand and that is not an app.

Again and again they would tell me they would transfer me to "Digtal Access team" who are unable to do anything about it and just told me now that they are having problems with the newsstand and there is no estimated time it will be fixed.
I am spoiled by the app of The Economist but I understand that National Geographic doesn't want to make its subscription as expensive so that is what I love about them, but please, does an independent app really cost them that much to make to keep their brand respectable? What is keeping their first prints late recently? I can't understand.


title: sed to love the National Geographic

text: sed to love the National Geographic, will no longer buy it due to Rupert Murdock's purchase of the magazine. I refuse to support his empire ofr read anything that could contain his propaganda.


title: Five Stars

text: Very good magazine, one of the best.


title: Two Stars

text: very interesting magazine but there it to much advertisement on it.


title: Three Stars

text: Very interesting, but to much advertisement on it


title: Great Price

text: Great price for a wonderful magazine. You can not go wrong. Arrived before it was supposed to, so even better.


title: Ordered for my grand-daughter

text: Most educative and superbly illustrated and narrated as always with this great magazine. My grand-daughter is delighted and read it cover to cover as soon as she received it.


title: wonderful magazine

text: I have read National Geographic for years, and it is consistently a wonderful magazine. Great writing, great photography. I can't afford to travel, so this magazine gives me a window to see exotic places that I will probably never be able to visit. This magazine also makes a fantastic gift to anyone interested in our remarkable, beautiful planet.


title: Fantastic magazine!

text: This is a great magazine! I read every copy cover to cover. The content deals mainly with famous skaters. If you're a skater interested in skating technique, you won't really find that in this magazine. Figure skating is not as popular as it used to be in the U.S. (which is a shame), and there isn't a lot of TV coverage anymore, so this magazine really helps keep me in the loop. I hope they stay in business for a long time because I think Blades on Ice is now kaput. I would definitely recommend this magazine! Figure skating fans need to support the sport because it's out of favor in the U.S.! I want to keep this magazine going!


title: You can't go wrong with National Geographic

text: I subscribed in November and got the Nov, Dec and Jan volume in the mail yesterday. I love National Geographic.


title: Five Stars

text: Great magazine.


title: Interesting and fun read

text: Always something different every issue. Beautiful pictures and coverage on places that I would want to visit one day. Topics are varied and the perspectives from subject matter experts are always insightful.


title: Awesome Magazine!

text: Great Magazine, with in depth articles covering interesting topics around the globe.  I pity the fool who does not subscribe to NG


title: Beautiful and worth every dollar!

text: The reviews on this website attest to the value and beauty of this magazine.  I recently subscribed to NG and regret that I did not do so earlier.


title: Over priced

text: I like the magazine but the price is high if you go directly to natgeo it's a lot cheaper


title: Five Stars

text: My subscription was handled well - Thank you


title: Not happy with it

title: Perfect Gift

text: This subscription was the most perfect gift for my brother for his birthday. The gift he'll enjoy all year long!


title: Old issues?

text: I bought these for my dad. When he got them he told me he's already read all of the stories online.  Super disappointed.


title: The perfect Gift

text: This was my Mothers Day present to myself. Despite the month long processing before my first issue arrived, I was impressed by the price and continued quality of the publication. I will keep this subscription as long as I can afford too, and look forward to keeping them for projects my daughter may be assigned in the future.


title: Excellent

text: This is one of the best magazines on the market and the price through Amazon is outstanding.  I certainly intend to tell my friends, "if you want the best price on magazine subscriptions, go to Amazon."<br />LaRue


title: national geographic

text: i really got this for my kids. The photography is fenomenal and intrigues my children into learning and reading.


title: interesting reading and reference

text: very interesting and authoritative magazine. good reading and good for the family. I will keep this megazine on my shelf.


title: A real pleasure

text: For varied interestes and reference material, they're invaluable. Our living room is was full of maginzes that I'd read over and over. The writing is wonderful, the photographs remarkable, and the varieyty of subject matter is staggering. Such a nice publication. I really look forward to buying a home so I can have the space to get a regular subscription. As a person with no artistic skills whatsoever, I really appreciate seeing the other side. I like ot collect Natinal Geographic magazines and really treasure them. I get tired of looking on the internet and an old fashion magazine is a nice break.


title: as always

text: it's still what it's always been. our stock of National Geographic magazines is preferred go to reading material for our kids.


title: It's NG, what more can I say?

text: Do you want to save $$ off the re-subscribe price?  Me too, that's why I bought it here.  I will probably do it again next year too.


title: Very slow in recieving

text: I ordered the subscription on 11/24/09 Hope it only takes 4-6 weeks. Have two more weeks to go. Could have ordered it direct from NG and started it right away but was $10.00 more. It may turn out to be a better buy if I don't receive it...


title: As always National Geographic delivers a great magazine.

text: National Geographic has always been one of my favorite magazines. The pictures are always stunning and the articles are always interesting and informative. It's a great way to learn new things about science and about other cultures without actually being there.


title: nat Geo

text: My friend loves National Geographic.  I got her a subscription for her birthday and she really likes it very much!


title: fantastic photography

text: This is a great coffee table magazine.  The photography is excellent.  The articles are great, but it's the photography which really makes everything happen.  If you've ever looked at an issue of this, you know what you're getting.  A lot of work goes into each issue and you can tell.  This magazine is as great now as it ever was.


title: love getting this in the mail

text: I get most of my news via the web these days, but this is one magazine I've continued to subscribe to.  Love getting it in the mail each week.  It's something I can read quickly and skim though, with just a few minutes.  Great for those who want to get a broad overview of what is going on in the world but don't have a lot of time.


title: Five Stars

text: Excellent magazine.


title: National Grographic magazine

text: I have had National Geographic all my life-65 yrs.and it has been in my family since 1912. For even a small child, one can learn a lot just looking at the pictures. After one learns to read,then the articles become more interesting. I could not do without my National Geographic.


title: Crochet Today

text: Magazine has many up to date versions of old favorites plus new ideas and contemporary new products> For someone who has not crocheted in many years,it also has directions to refresh one"s memory.


title: nat geo

text: did not need to get 3 issues to start this subscription.  this was started as a "renewal".; so already had 2 of them.


title: DON'T BUY!!

text: I bought the subscription in June 2010 and haven't received any magazines so far. I sent couple of email asking for status and got no response. I am very disappointed about this purchase. Save your money, look else for National Geographic subscription.


title: Five Stars

text: National Geographic is a great magazine with interesting provocative articles.


title: great ideas

text: Magazine has great,easy to follow meals with tidbits from favorite food network stars.  Will improve your cooking style with ideas from pros.


title: National geographic mag.

text: Always the standard for photos and content, National Geographic makes a great gift to anyone that enjoys this planet and its beauty.


title: Disappointed Because...

text: I just rec'd the October issue, with one week left in the month. I would like the subscription to start with the November issue, not the the October at this late date. I have issues w/ the magazine itself.


title: It's a Yes!

text: Have been receiving National Geographic for decades and it still meets expectations for interesting and timely articles.  Always beautiful pictures.


title: geographic

text: Great magazine! No problems receiving the magazine as described in other reviews. In fact i received my first magazine in half the time i was told


title: Still loving it.

text: I purchased this as a gift for my husband.  He remembers going through his grandparent's stacks and stacks of National Geographic.  He was drawn in by the outstanding photography and always learned something new about subjects he didn't know he was interested in.  The same is true now.  This is a great magazine, I'm glad we are subscribers.


title: The Best of Course

text: Great product, fast delivery and service followup.<br />Thanks


title: We love our magazine

text: Bought it as a gift for my boyfriend who constantly buys them every time we go to the book store. We love our magazine!


title: Five Stars

text: best magazine...period!


title: Five Stars

text: LOVE


title: Love it

text: I love how the articles are informative and have visual aids. Great magazine truly worth the price if you want to read interesting and captivating articles about science and things that are happening today. 5/5


title: Three Stars

text: Okay magazine for what it is.


title: 25+ Year member!

text: 25+ Year member, what can I say, there is no other magazine like it.


title: Low Quality for a Low Price

text: The new editor is starting to turn this publication around, but their articles are still frequently poor quality, repetitious, or untimely.


title: RECEIVED ONLY TWO(2) issues

text: I received TWO magazines!!! :) And then big fat nothing till the subscription expired in march. Interestingly, I ve tried to post a review with the above facts  - and somehow, mysteriously, it never goes through....?????????


title: RECEIVED ONLY TWO(2) issues out of six.

text: I received only 2 issues and my subscription expires in March. Make your own conclusion if its worth your money.


title: Five Stars

text: Not much to say except it is all good.....easy to read.......amazing amounts of great information.


title: Grandsons Present for Entire Year

text: Great way for grandsons to get an appreciation of the world around them.  Love the diversity of subjects and locations featured.  Not just a travel magazine, but an in-depth presentation of people, places, and things.  Have subscribed to National Geographic all my life and also enjoy it.


title: Not what it used to be.  But get it for the kids.

text: OK it is hard to knock National Geographic, because it is essentially in a league of it's own as it covers environment, geography, cultures, etc.  However after 15 years of subscription it was time to move on.  The magazine has become very americanized.  And the recent overindulgence in 911 and Iraq was a real turn off.  It is a big world out there, surely there was more happening.  The magazine typically also has a lot of editorial banter in it's articles, rather than relating information.  Anyhow the search for an alternative led me to the British CNN Traveler magazine to which I am now subscribed.  A little more worldly with a diminished American perspective.  Geo is also a good magazine, though not available in english.  Geographical magazine didn't quite pique my interest.  I still may buy an occasional National Geographic if I see a good issue on the magazine racks.


title: Horrible customer service.

text: Automatically charged me to renew even though I canceled.


title: Wanted to buy but not after reading the reviews..

text: I want old real National Geographic back, please.. Don't change a magazine and it's place in human history.. If you want to, then start another magazine with new ideas, rather than changing the contents of a well established magazine and change it to something else.


title: Cool mag, if it even gets here

text: Wonderful price (i caught the mother's day sale) for a great magazine. I just wish it would finally arrive! I think the amazon page warned that shipping takes a while, so take that seriously- it will take several months. I really hope it gets here soon, especially since I paid for 12 months and its already been two :(


title: Nor what it used to be

text:
In my humble opinion National Geographic is just
a  shadow of the once great magazine it once was.
I had the unfortunate experience of dealing with
The NG staff trying to turn off the repetitive and
Persistent renewal notices and encountered a
Bunch of bureaucratic morons.  It is a shame
There is no longer integrity in the  management
of the the magazine.  Remember,  you asked .


title: These arrive on time and in good condition.

text: Ordered several popular magazines all at the same time. This is the only one that always arrives on time and in good condition. It comes in a clear plastic (recycled) overwrap. The others I ordered sometimes don't arrive or arrive late or in waves.


title: Unreliable delivery.

text: Some issues come - some don't. Not again. I would not recommend ordering magazines until improvements are made. Only product I have ordered the has not been satisfactory.


title: A wonderful resource

text: Take everything that has already been said about the beauty of this magazine and insert it here.  Then add to it the following:<br />As an artist I hoard Natinal Geographic magazines like Pirate's treasre.  For inspiration and reference material, they're simply invaluable.  Our basement was full of maginzes that I'd read again and again and again. The journalism is wonderful, the photographs remarkable, and the scope of subject matter is staggering.  Such a lovely publication.  I really look forward to buying a home so I can have the space to get a regular subscription.


title: Perfect gift for grandchildren

text: Price especially.  Normal price is 38 dollars a subscription.  Perfect gift for grandchildren


title: Well worth it

text: A great read for almost all ages. enjoy  the contemporary articles as well as those of the past.<br />Thank you


title: NG completes my home

text: I love ng


title: National Geographic Magazine

text: This is my favorite magazine.  Love the photography and the insightful articles.  Latest issue of containing a photo archive the best yet.


title: There are still some great issues but politics is increasingly infiltrating the monthly issues ...

text: This publication has changed dramatically over the last few years and has come to follow the media norm of pushing a political agenda instead of providing meaningful and intertaining information. There are still some great issues but politics is increasingly infiltrating the monthly issues to the point where entire issues are dedicated to one political agenda. I am a huge advocate for nature and read the magazine to expand my knowledge and perception of our natural surrounding. Unfortunately I have been able to count three recent issues that don’t have even one article on nature but instead push certain political agendas. Some of the agendas I even agree with but like most of America I have had enough of politics for a lifetime and even if I was still interested all I would need to do would be to turn on one of the countless news stations to hear political options without paying a magazine subscitption. I have canceled my subscription and will not read again until the magazine gets back to its original and promised message.


title: Five Stars

text: Love this mag


title: Always something good.

text: I really enjoy getting this magazine. I won't claim I read the whole thing each time, but it always has something really interesting for me. If you like reading about other cultures, nature, and history, this is for you.


title: What magazine

text: Hard to rate this subscription cause I Have not received anything yet.  No magazine or even a account number so I can view it on my tablet.


title: Such a wonderful publication. National Geographic is what inspired my sense ...

text: Such a wonderful publication. National Geographic is what inspired my sense of wonder and exploration as a child - Flipping through the pages staring into the pictures of places I could only dream of going to someday.<br />I appreciate everything NatGeo has done to shape who I am today.


title: impressive

text: i am fully satisfied with this product. It is very informative, interesting and full of knowledge and obove all best in the class nothing come close to this magazine.<br />Photos are very colorful and stunning. A great deal of hardwork has been put to create a magazine like this. I am a great fan of it.


title: National Geographic is a great way to learn about the world and get involved ...

text: National Geographic is a great way to learn about the world and get involved in your community. My children love this small morsel of information to add to their vast expanse of knowledge.


title: For Everyone Saying Go To Site...

text: For those of you saying $15 for a subscripiton on the National Geographic site.  Go buy it, you will be very dissapointed when you get only ONE magazine..ITS NOT A SUBSCRIPTION, BUT A SINGLE MAGAZINE..for one, do you really think they would sell them that cheap, everything else they sell is expensive.  For two, it clearley states that you get ONE magazine, ONE time.


title: national geographic mag. sharing information

text: i agree i was ready to order for a friend & myself UNTIL i saw they put your life in anyones hand that wants it why would i do that to a friend oh well @ least they tell you upfront


title: Best magazine

text: National Geographic is an exceptional magazine that has kept is quality high in both its written product and its photography.


title: Worst Customer Services

text:
They charge my credit card and waited for 7 week never received it. But when ask for a credit they only gave me 1/2 of my subscription..
For me was a total failure and that a shame because I think the magazine is amassing.
Never heard from a representative from customer service.


title: excellent

text: Quality still maintained as it was for years.  While somethings can be replaced by internet, this is one of those magazines you need to have in hand.


title: A long run for this magazine

text: We are long time subscribers to the National Geographic.  Now I know that I can re subscribe from Amazon at a better price than from the magazine itself.  Thanks


title: National Geographic

text: It a great magazine. I saw and learned things that I didn't know that was going on in the world it was worth the money


title: Five Stars

text: great magazine to read


title: Five Stars

text: favorite magazine


title: Very disappointed with item and customer service

text: I purchased this mag in May of this year, in  July, I received this magazine, with a total of three issues arriving on the same day including 2 older magazines.  I have received no magazines since.  I was on hold with a supervisor for 53 minutes to rectify this problem.  While waiting, I went on line to National Geographic's official site and found out that I can get this deal for the same price and it includes digital access as well for no extra charge. I was then hung up on and am now waiting again to speak with a supervisor.  I am very disappointed with Amazon's customer service


title: NG

text: National Geo.


title: Great Magazine, Poor Amazon Service

text: National Geographic is a great magazine, but after purchasing it through Amazon because of a discount they gave me, they inexplicably canceled the transaction claiming something went wrong.  They asked me to reorder, but I'm not sure I want to go through the hassle.


title: Five Stars

text: Always loved the magazine


title: great deal

text: can't beat this deal.  I love nat'l geographic magazine.<br />it took a little while to start receiving the issues and they do tend to come later than other magazine subscriptions i've had.


title: Continued Excellence

text: National Geographic magazine continues to be a favorite of mine.  The articles vary widely and cover topics not found in other publications.  Photography is first-rate.  Photos on ng.com website can be downloaded and used for computer background.  Geography quiz (5 questions) included with each magazine is a tough challenge for family members as we see who scores best each month.  I pass the old issues on to elementary students I tutor.


title: Five Stars

text: Too bad the Fox corporation bought his great magazine.


title: One Star

text: i only received two magazines in a year. it's a theft


title: Best magazine in publication

text: have been receiving National Geographic for at least 25 yrs. and look forward to each new issue every month - it has taken me to the far reaches of the globe without leaving my favorite chair.  The renewal thru Amazon.com is less than half the cost of a renewal thru the normal means, so I will be doing it that way from now on.  Don't know how you are able to do it that way, but please don't stop!


title: Not for kids

text: Not the same magazine you grew up with. Not appropriate in content for children. I cancelled after the first issue arrived


title: Very good deal

text:
Very good deal on National Geographic. Practically free.

Keep your eye on "AUTO RENEW" it is a default setting with many Amazon subscriptions. It may be removed if you like.


title: Five Stars

text: very good as always


title: Complain about the efficiency

text: Actually I have not received this magazine yet. Could you please help me to check it? Thanks.


title: national geographic

text: it is a great magazine with lots of materials to share.  good for both children and adults.  price is cheap as well.


title: ... of the writing and the magazine material itself is great. However

text: The quality of the writing and the magazine material itself is great. However, they have some sort of obsession with birds. I just skip the bulks of pages within the magazines that talks about birds. Also, their magazine is shipped with "recyclable paper" instead of plastic now. To me, it does not make sense. I live in a conservative state where it is very difficult to recycle materials. I just throw away their "recyclable paper". Obviously, it is very easy to recycle in liberal states like California or states in the northeast (which the magazine headquarters are located).  Between the their "recyclable paper" that may sound "beneficial" in the northeast; and their obsessesion with bird migrations; I will not renew my subscription. National Geographic needs to "think outside the box" when accommodating the needs and preferences of consumers nationally and internationally.


title: DO it!

text: What more can I say? National geographic is a great foundation


title: Broad overview

text:
National Geographic offers a broad overview about almost all interesting issues concerning history, science and nature. I always enjoy to get the next issue since besides the main theme on the cover there's a variety of additional coverages of present and past matters. Also the effects of global warming, foreign cultures, historic events and processes, the destruction of nature by man and many social problems in Third World countries are described and explained in detail.
I just love that magazine and don't want to miss it anymore. It's worth to collect it in a slipcase or anything like that. The coverages often have up-to-date reference but also there are many articles and passages which are just timeless.
This subscription at amazon I've purchased for a dear friend who has not the money to buy the monthly issues, just to share everything with her. I'm sure she'll enjoy the magazine since she's so much interested in all those issues dealt with.
I would recommend it highly. For everyone who is interested I even would recommend to go ahead into the next bookshop and take a look into the current issue, just to get an overview what I'm writing about.
Enjoy reading! I look forward to each coming monthly issue of this great magazine.


title: I feel inadequate, but that's a good thing

text: I admit it--I love this magazine, even though there's no way I'll ever live up to the standards Martha sets.  I don't have hours each day to sew, garden, cook or re-organize the pantry (or a staff to do it for me), but that doesn't stop me from getting good ideas from this magazine and implementing them in tiny ways around my small home.  And, of course, I've been clipping articles and planning on doing the projects some day in the distant future, when I actually do have the time.


title: A Definite Keeper

text: It's strange--I would never consider saving any of my other magazine subscriptions, but somehow I have every single copy of National Geographic going back to the 1960s.  It's just the type of magazine that you can go back to, decades later, leaf through it and discover something new (or old, as the case may be).  In a perfect world, I would also have enough space to display my favorite fold-out maps from this magazine.


title: Five Stars

text: National Geographic is an amazing magazine.  I have subscribed to it for years.


title: Educational

text: Great reading


title: Love National Geographinc

text: I have been reading Nat Geo for many years. The content can't be beat for interesting articles on many subjects. Most<br />articles relate to the earth, oceans, archeology, animals and new finds in science, astronomy, and humanity. The magazine is always interesting, knowledgeable and fun to read.


title: Evaluation of Content

text: The publication contains a balance of topics for all interests and, in general, is well informed on the subject matter.


title: A classy brand brought down by terrible customer service

text:
I ordered this through amazon, received my first issue, then had the subscription promptly canceled. Called Nat Geo, got routed to India and received the typical call center "customer service." I offered to repurchase the subsciption from Nat Geo, they wanted to charge nearly $40, yet their own Web site displays $15. The customer service rep told me to order from the Web site then.
This kind of disconnect between a company's Web pressence and other incarnations is unexceptable in this day and age. Plus, they are stilling calling my house trying to sell me crap!
I never expected a historically beloved and classy magazine like National Geographic to have such shoddy and trashy customer service practices. They are obviously making a ton of loot, because they didn't seem to care about retaining my business at all.
Strange and a little sad when I can order Entertainment Weekly and receive more lucid service than from Nat Geo.


title: Too political

text: Hard to read this anymore as they find the need to introduce politics into every single issue.


title: the best!

text: National Geographic is the best!  For years my parents shared their copies with me.  Now that I'm an adult orphan, I have to subscribe for myself.


title: double issues

text: I am giving four stars because we received double issues for two months.  Dog Fancy gets five stars!  DF helps us every issue!


title: Five Stars

text: I enjoy learning about the past, places, peoples. I am very much enjoying my subscription of National Geographic magazine.


title: Nat'l Geo.

text: It's always been my favorite to read any time of day/night.....amazing stuff. It's my family treasure, since I grew up in the '50's.


title: Five Stars

text: we are never disappointed in any issues thank you. the Kanters


title: Blah

text: Way too many ads and never a good article. I don't care that's it's only 10 bucks it's not even worth that


title: Love this mag

text: Always great And informative. My fav mag by far. Always on time and got my first edition in less than a few weeks


title: Not as good as I remember

text: But still pretty interesting? I love the pictures and most of the stories. But I might not renew when the year is up


title: National Geographic

text: I have an 11 yr. old daughter.  Every week when we go the allergist for her shots, she looks through all the magazines to find National Geographic.  So I decided to order it for her and found that your prices were the best.  She was thrilled and read her first issue cover to cover already.


title: NG. great magazine....

text: Great buy for the price.


title: Strongly dislike

text: How the mighty have fallen! No resemblance to the former Geographic before Fox degradation. A publishing disgrace.


title: Wonderful magazine!

text: It's full of beautiful photography, timely articles, and great information. It is a window on the world. The whole family loves it.


title: Worth every dime.

text: Really enjoy it.


title: Constant Companion

text: I cannot remember a time that this magazine hasn't been in my life.  My grandmother send a subscription to my dad every year; and when I moved away from home he sent it to me.  Now that my parents have passed away I buy it for myself.  Growing up I probably compiled at least a dozen school reports from the many articles I have read.  When it comes in the mail I stop everything and read it cover to cover.  My only possible negative critique would be that the magazine has become more political over the years; and I enjoy the true science of exploration and can get the politics elsewhere.


title: Pleasing

text: I have used many of the recipes from this magazine from the beginning of its publication.  I have never been disappointed.  Their helpful suggestions have always been useful; their articles interesting.


title: Five Stars

text: Happy happy


This is my favorite magazine. Always relevant, well written and with excellent photography. I'm so glad NG is still being published.


title: great mag

text: I have been reading National Geo since I was a child and it is one of my favorite magazines to read.


title: Good variety of articles

text: Gift subscription which is enjoyed due to the variety of articles.


title: Recipient is Very Happy!

text: This was purchased by my sister through me for my son as a birthday gift.  He loves National Geographic and was extremely happy with this gift!


title: Loved It

text: Came in the mail fast.  Love National Geographic! This was a gift for my son.  He is really enjoying the magazine.


title: Unbeakable Magazine

text: Has some of the best articles and wonderful photography. Kids really enjoy it as well as adults and can use in school projects. Some the articles amazingly seem to coordinate with current literature (eg. Beyond the beautiful forevers and article on child brides of the middle east) We have been getting this magazine for many years! and my husband and I read every word.


title: One-year subscription but got only one issue

text:
Received only one issue for a one-year subscription, and nothing in the following three months.
I contacted the customer service and was told that my subscription was canceled due to a system error.  The refund will appear in one to two billing statements of my credit card (I hope).
What if I didn't catch that error? Are they going to just take the money and do nothing? This is disgusting and dishonest.  Never subscribe any magazine from them again.

Update: never received that refund.


title: Great Deal

text: You come to know about our planet with great photos and stories.Every issue comes on time. The packing is great. Its a great deal for a year for just 15$.


title: Five Stars

text: I get these magazines for my son and he likes receiving them.


title: snail mail

text: I ordered National Geographic and Reader's Digest for a gift from Amazon for my two brothers.  That was two and a half months ago.  They still haven't received either one.  They have started receiving promotional mail from National Geographic so they are on the mailing list.  How long should it take before the magazine will arrive?  This seems like too long.  It is nearly 3 months.<br />I probably wouldn't order this again, unless a wanted to wait indefinitely for it to arrive.


title: AGAIN! National Geographic take a break! Put your feet up!

text:
WOW! National Geographic AGAIN they do a terrific job on something! They do great, professional, and BREATHTAKING jobs on everything they do but this is the best of everything. I suscribed to this about two months ago and was very happy about their progress. I'm sure thousands agree with me that this is perefection and I'm surprised anybody or anything can do this much. Put your feet up National Geographic! You've done enough for thirty years!!!
Enjoy,
Jeffrey Alan Cote'

title: NatGeo---still!

text: National Geo is still the gold standard when it comes to beautiful print photography and eye-witness reportage. It will be a bleak day when it too succumbs to the digital decline and the dumbing-down of America.


title: Five Stars

text: my friend was in the mag playing overwatch


title: Still The Gold Standard

text:
I have loved National Geographic since my uncle (a teacher) thought is would make a good birthday gift when I was younger. He started me on a lifetime of finding magazines like National Geographic.

Though I have other magazines, National Geographic remains my favorite and the standard of magazines.  Though it has changed somewhat through the years, the one thing that always remains is the imagery.

The photographs range from breathtaking, inspirational, educational and heartbreaking and are often more than that. The efforts photographers undertake are incredible. (The special issue of 100 Best Photographs is amazing) and seeing the images in print is the best way to see these.  Though you may see the images on the web, they are not quite the same.

Dinosaurs, space, astronomy, history and so much more. Special and worth having as you will find yourself going back to revisit stories and riveting images.


title: Great for Planning

text: I love to pick up this magazine and dream. It seems that every month there is a trail somewhere in the world that they review that I'd like to hike. But hiking isn't this magazine's only focus. I also appreciate the equipment reviews. They usually will run the products they review through a real world test, making the results easier to understand and believe. Plus, there are frequently articles about issues outdoor enthusiats care about. Articles about scenic photography, articles about wildland politics, and articles about outdoor adventurers are all included. But, above all, this magazine is a great one to browse through when you want to think about being somewhere else!


title: Your Guide to West Coast Living

text: This magazine is an excellent reference. My wife and I frequently turn to the current and past issues looking for reciepes, weekend getaways, gardening, and ideas for design and decorating. The magazine's focus is on the west, so most articles relate to activities and places in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and Western Montana. Sunset has great ideas for your life on the West Coast.


title: The World Around Us

text: This magazine has been around for over 100 years, and with the high quality of the paper, the photograhs, and the content it could likely be around for another 100 years. I am amazed each month opening the latest issue to learn about topics ranging from Arctic Alaska, to Egyptian Mummys, to foriegn cultures and lifestyles. Lately, a favorite feature of mine has been the monthly zip-code piece. The magazine takes an in-depth look at a zip-code in the United States. I gain a deeper appreciation for my world through this subscription.


title: he likes this

text: My husband was pleased with this subscription. he loves reading articles about these topics and would probably subscribe to this magazine again.
