NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC DECEMBER 2002 - THE MAGIC OF SNOW OWLS

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 136-page December 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: Snowy Owls - They've got movie-star charisma, with power (and talons) to match. But to raise chicks, snowy owls rely on the boom-or-bust market of their favorite prey: the humble lemming. Other featured articles include: The Hawaiians - A century after Hawaiians lost their kingdom and much of their culture, a new generation is discovering its roots-and some of them want their islands back. X-ray Vision - The orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory lifts the veil on exploding stars, pulsars, quasars, and black holes. Surviving the Sahara - Fifteen-hundred miles of heat, cold, hunger, and evil spirits. The team's only hope: their steadfast camels. The Search for PT 109 - Explorer Bob Ballard goes after JFK's PT 109,and Senator Ted Kennedy recalls a heroic brother's return. A New Day in Kabul - Children are returning to school. Women are starting businesses. Can the recovery of Afghanistan's weary capital city be sustained? ZipUSA: Tysons Corner, Virginia - If money talks, then this suburban mall shouts. Hard to believe it was once a rural crossroads. Other Departments Include: From the EditorForumGeographicaBehind the Scenesnationalgeographic.comNational Geographic TVWho Knew?

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.
