Description: National Geographic is a popular American monthly magazine published by National Geographic Partners. Known for its photojournalism, it is one of the most widely read magazines of all time. It was founded in 1888. The 132-page August 2003 issue of this magazine is available and as always, it does not disappoint. The topics covered by this magazine are as appropriate today as they were when it was published. The cover story is titled: Into the Amazon - Brazilian explorer and social activist Sydney Possuelo believes his country's uncontacted Indians should remain isolated. Why, then, is he risking his life to find them? Other featured articles include: Bohemian Rhapsody - In the trendy Paris neighborhood of the Marais, cultures and lifestyles mix and match, and laissez-faire rules. The Driest Place on Earth - Parts of Chile's Atacama Desert haven't seen a drop of rain since record keeping began. Somehow, more than a million people squeeze life from this parched land. Alaska's Wild Archipelago - A gale-swept refuge, imperiled marine mammals, and some of the most lucrative fisheries in the world make for stormy times on the last frontier. Royal City of the Maya - For some 400 years the Maya reigned triumphant from Guatemala's Piedras Negras. Then somebody kidnapped the king. Zimbabwe's Bitter Harvest - With the onset of land reform, whites lost farms, blacks lost jobs, and the country that once fed much of southern Africa lost the means to feed itself. ZipUSA: 15222 - The Strip: 24 hours in Pittsburgh's revitalized warehouse district means 24 hours of feasting and fun.

If you were to purchase a back issue through the National Geographic Society, it would cost $7.00 with U.S. delivery. I have a number of back issues of National Geographic from various years. If you are looking for a specific issue, please let me know. I supply shipping discounts to multiple purchases. Due to changes in USPS policy and a recent postage rate increase, I have had to raise my shipping costs.
