when to expect a 12th ed. atlas?

I wonder if anyone here as insight into when Nat Geo may publish another world atlas. I ask because the 11th ed. came out 5 years ago, and the intervals between prior publications have been 5, then 4, then 6, then 5, then 7 years. (1992, 1999, 2004, 2010, 2014, 2019)

I know that the acquisition by the Walt Disney company has changed some things, but I am not sure if this is one of them. There has not been any statements about the world atlas being discontinued yet, as far as I know.

Thanks for any details.

Ohio Book Store - Cincinatti, OH

Audibly gasped when I got to the 3rd floor of this shop. They have multiples of many issues organized by date, dating all the way back to 1928. Most in really great condition for the number of years.

Help finding original photo?

I am told my great-great grandmother painted this based off of a National Geographic photo back in the 1930’s. It features an Armenian woman, but with her neighbor’s face instead of the original model’s. I’d like to know what the original photo looked like, if possible. Thanks!

Help me understand how magazine subscription works

It might be a silly question but I've never subscribed to a magazine before. So if I take the yearly print subscription now in Nov'24, will I receive all the issues of the year 2024 before the year ends or will I receive issues starting from Nov'24 till Nov'25?

For a collector in NYC who wants

I came into a bunch of National Geographics, mostly late 60s through 70s, and some assorted earlier than photo cover ones. I'm in NYC and would happy unload all of them to someone who wants.

Anybody got a spare issue? July 24

Hiya, im wondering if anybody has a spare of last months issue, Indigenous futures. Ive attatched an image. I was trying to find a copy online that I could buy without the sub and couldnt find it anywhere! There was nothing in any of the paper shops or WHSmiths either. This is kind of my last effort of trying to get it, ill pay for it and the shipping if anybody has a spare copy they could send me? Im in the UK too

I was particularly interested in this one and wanted to read it then show somebody. Im sure you get my gyst. I know I could read it online but to me that isnt the same and I heavily dislike paying for digital things.

Looking for an issue!

Hello everyone, I am wondering if anyone who has access to Nat Geo magazines has ever come across an issue on Jordan. Specifically, I am hopefully looking to find something on Wadi Rum. This is for a thesis that I'm planning at the moment! If you have, please just leave a comment under this with the issue date. Thanks.

Is it possible to get a magazine subscription without paying for the digital membership?

I don’t want the digital membership. I just want physical copies of the nat geo magazine sent to my house. I know you can do that with the history magazine but I was hoping to get the regular magazines. I don’t want to pay $19 for the digital membership on top of the $30 for the magazines 😭

Looking for an issue from 1970-1982. Missouri fly fishing

I remember having an issue around 1981 for a school report and cutting out pictures of Missouri, there was one where a group was fly fishing on a river in Missouri. I’m guessing the issue was late 70s, but no later than May 1982. I don’t even know where to start in looking for it. Any tips? Thanks.

Documentary about the Human Journey - Anyone Know the Name?

I'm trying to remember this documentary I saw a while back. It followed a person's life from conception all the way to having their own kids and grandkids. It was super detailed, explaining how the body and brain develop at each stage.

One thing that really stuck with me was a counter showing the character's heartbeats at different ages. There might have even been a part about them joining the military (though I could be wrong about that).

The whole thing was beautifully shot, almost cinematic. It would be awesome if anyone recognizes the documentary from this description!

Thanks in advance!

Anyone else have issues with deliveries of NG every month ?

I receive about 60% of the issues i should each year, ive spoken to a few other people in different countries that i know and they all seem to have the same problem. Any particular reason why this happens with only this magazine ?

What language will the magazine deliver in?

I live in Norway, but I would like the mag in English. Trying to start up a subscription but I’m not sure if ticking off Norway in the “Delivery Market” box will make it so that my magazines will be in Norwegian/tailored to Norway?

I find the old ads so interesting

So currently in my painting class, we're making these collage things with magazines. My teacher has a whole cupboard of magazines, a lot being old National geographics. Some are even From the 50's and I was looking through them and I just found the advertisements super interesting!
