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 May 1997 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: India - Home to nearly a billion people, Asia's giant democracy struggles to fulfill the dream born with its freedom from Britain 50 years ago. Double Map Supplement: India (included). Other featured articles include: Iceland's Trial by Fire - A volcanic eruption ripped open the island-nation's largest glacier, unleashing the worst flood in 60 years. La Salle's Last Voyage - In 1686 the Belle ran aground off Texas, ending a French explorer's quest to reach the Mississippi by sea. Now the wreck surrenders its secrets. The Dawn of Humans - Fleet-footed and skilled at toolmaking, Homo erectus was probably the first member of our human family to venture out of Africa. Hunting the Mighty Python - Gbaya men in central Cameroon stalk the huge snakes for meat and skin by crawling into their burrows and hauling them out bare-handed. Biking Across the Alaska Range - After 775 miles of glaciers and gravel bars, a trio looks back at an awesome mountain-biking adventure.

Photograph by Steve McCurry. This magazine has been read but is in fantastic shape. 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 apply 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.
