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 148-page October 2002 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: Death on the Nile - Conspiracy, murder, revenge-it's all at Saqqara, a cemetery of ancient Egypt's rich and powerful. Other featured articles include: A Pharaoh's Peacemaker - The tomb of one of Ramses the Great's top ambassadors is disclosing its secrets. Tokyo Bay - In Japan all roads lead to Tokyo Bay. But the nation's hub is being strangled by pollution and relentless development. Saving Places - They need a world of support, and they've got it. Today 730 World Heritage sites find salvation in the United Nations. Hotspot: New Zealand - What happens when an archipelago populated by bizarre flightless birds is invaded by alien species? In Focus: The West Bank - Occupied since 1967, the heartland of a future Palestinian state is a breeding ground for despair. Istanbul on Edge - Anxiety fills Turkey's biggest city: The economy is volatile, secularism is under fire, and an earthquake is coming. ZipUSA: Hibbing, Minnesota - A mining town produced a legendary artist, but Bob Dylan has been a "Long Time Gone.' Other Departments Include: From the EditorForumGeographicaBehind the Scenesnationalgeographic.comNational Geographic TVWho Knew?Final EditOn AssignmentFlashback The Cover - A portrait for the afterlife: Maya, director of the treasury under King Tutankhamun, prays to the gods on the wall of his tomb at Saqqara. 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.
