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 134-page August 2024 issue of this magazine is available and as always, it does not disappoint! The cover story is titled: Bats A Love Story - In Western culture, the night fliers are often associated with darkness and evil. But they should be appreciated, admired, and, yes, loved for their many amazing attributes. Other featured articles include: In Focus Contributors Taking Out the Toxin - Gold miners in the Peruvian Amazon often use mercury in the extraction process. A geologist and National Geographic Explorer is working to establish mercury-free gold as a hot commodity. A New Kind of Feline - After years of scientific uncertainty, a third species of tiger cats has been confirmed. This clouded variety, small and spotted, roams the mountain ranges of Latin America. History on Horseback - A photographer documents teams of riders who saddle up for a rodeo event in the U.S. that honors women of the Mexican Revolution. The Seine's Renaissance - It's the most celebrated and inspirational river in France. Now an ambitious $1.5 billion cleanup project aims to make the waterway swimmable once again. The Shaping of a Shell - Coils, twists, spines, knobs, and ridges-the exquisite shapes of seashells fascinate us. Science is revealing the physical forces that create them, and unusual images expose their inner beauty. More Secrets to Share - The ancient city of Pompeii is an endless source of dazzling discoveries, even in areas that archaeologists have already excavated. The Inflammation Age - Are heat, pain, and swelling always bad things? Inflammation is necessary for survival. Researchers are finding new ways to harness it. New From National Geographic On the Cover - Brown University professor Shawn Swartz releases an Egyptian fruit bat into a wind tunnel to study the mechanics that allow it to fly. 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 as well as other magazines covering various subjects for sale on eBay.
