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 138-page Octobember 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: Saudi Arabia on Edge - Tribal traditions and modern wealth clash in the birthplace of Islam-a kingdom in the political hot seat since 9/11. Other featured articles include: Kinkajous - Living on fruits and flowers, these rarely seen relatives of the racoon prowl the high rain canopies of Central and South America. Iraq's Antiquities War - When the spring offensive by U.S.-led forces ended, another battle began: the fight to preserve Iraq's ancient sites and artifacts from looters. A team of archaeologists races from Baghdad to Babylon to report from the field. Orangutans Hang Tough - Revisiting Borneo, an anthropologist checks in with some old friends and worries about their future. Maya Water World - Divers and scientists probe Yucatan sinkholes, sacred to the Maya, where human sacrifices ensured cosmic order. Mongolian Crossing - In a remote, mountainous corner of Asia, nomads still follow their herds on an arduous migration. If given the choice, will they take a new path? ZipUSA: 05641 - Resting in peace, Barre, Vermont is a little town with a reputation carved in stone.

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.
