This is ex library copy that I bought.
It has an amazing spread on how human activity has influenced the health of the Great Lakes (in the United States).
It takes me about 2.5 hours to read a National Geographic from cover to cover.
There are a lot of one page or half page articles that are nice as photocopied tools for my more advanced English students, and do not involve politics or religion!
features:
So Great, So Fragile: The Great Lakes
The World's Lullabies: Songs that sooth little ones to sleep also reflect grown-ups' hopes and fears. (social anthropology!)
Arctic Dreaming: In Russia's far north a native returns to the memories of Soviet dreams to develop the Arctic.
Bites That Kill: Snakebites, a health crisis in Sub Saharan Africa. Antivenmons and treatment centers in very short supply.
And more!
