International Travel News

This is a great magazine. I recently began subscribing and got a bunch of back issues to read. It is by readers and for readers. Nothing amateurish about it, though. Lots of good information for all aspects of international travel (in this case, "international" means outside North America and the Carribean). Definitely worth trying.

This magazine is all about first hand international travel. There are travel advisories, packing tips for different countries, problems found along the way (with information to solve these problems if you run across them), and NO ADVERTISING! So you don't have to wade through page after page of ads. And there is no risk of an entire issue devoted to travel in the US. I'm letting other travel subscriptions lapse, and keeping this one active.

It is black print on newspaper, in a standard magazine size.

People (3-month auto-renewal)

I've been reading People Magazine since the early 80s, so I know I'm not in the demographic they're aiming at any more. It's turned into LOTS and LOTS of reality TV coverage of non-actors, along with very young new actors and musicians, with very limited coverage of established actors. It seems to me they cover a smaller range of people than they used to. I'm telling myself that I"m not going to renew my subscription, but I'm still reading every issue, just skipping the articles about people from shows I would never watch. Their reviews of books and movies are perhaps worth the price of the magazine, and aren't available on their website.

If you're interested in reality TV and very young actors and pop musicians, you'll love this mag.

I ordered this subscription on 11/24/08 and the first issue arrived about two weeks ago, almost even before I expected it to. It has been arriving on the same day every week, so I am not left wondering when it will come. I was worried about ordering a subscribtion online, but it it went very smoothly! I would order other subscribtions in the future!

Not only was the price the cheapest I was able find anywhere, the first copy of the magazine, which was supposed to start in six to eight weeks, came only four weeks from my order date. What a deal!

I subscribed for a year at one hundred bucks. My mother-in-law and I both enjoyed reading it but, to be blunt, we didn't get that much enjoyment to warrant the price tag. By contrast, we adore VANITY FAIR and can't imagine life without it. I spend a lot of time on my computer and I am always plugged into the internet. I have also set up igoogle pages where just about every source on the planet has a gadget and listed items. I have an entire page devoted to entertainment and another entire page devoted to news. There is not much that I don't get right away through all the sources I have put on those igoogle pages. This made PEOPLE superfluous. If I'd been offered this magazine on a renewal for let's say a quarter of what the subscription costs, I might have taken the renewal. With the internet, however, gossip comes a lot cheaper than this.

All-aboard!

The train leaves the station at 5:40, and pulls up to my stop around 6:30. I can get through most of "People Magazine" by then. So can you.

Not difficult reading, and don't expect to learn anything important. "People Magazine" is not meant to teach you anything.

Kick back, pull out your monthly train pass, set down your bags and flip through a few pages. Learn about the latest goings on of the rich and famous. See the costumes of Hollywood, and the cars they all drive.

And when you are done, leave on the seat for the next guy. He's had a long day too.

I fully recommend "People," but only if you don't expect it to be "The New York Times."

Saxophone Journal - Without CD-Rom

THIS IS A GREAT MAGAZINE, DON'T GET ME WRONG, I LOVE IT AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUBSCRIBE, but son't order from amazon. The reason their price here is so cheap is because they made a deal with the manufacturer that THEY DON'T INCLUDE THE CD THAT IS SUPOSED TO COME WITH IT, and get it for much cheaper in bulk. BUY FROM dornpub.com, AND GET THE CD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ms

I have noticed that Amazon.com charges more for magazines than if bought directly from the publisher. Amazon outrageously priced Ms. nearly DOUBLE what it costs if bought directly from msmagazine.com. Go directly to Ms. for a $25 yearly subscription.

There is certainly not a lack of interest on such important issues such as those mentioned in Ms. magazine because these issues affect all women all over the world. Whether it is on women's right for abortion, sex discrimination, exploitation of women and children, family and health acts or historical events on the women's movement (which I believe should really be corrected to mean a movement for all humanity because IT IS), Ms. magazine delivers the information that so many young women are lacking today in their social surroundings no matter if they be the suburbs or the slums.

I thank my literature professors who have taught me the wonderful female figures in literature that have proved women have power and deserve everyone's respect.

Imagine my utter shock when I came to a bookstore of considerable commercial success only to find Ms. magazine nowhere near the Women's Interest International section (which was instead completely packed with fashion and wieght loss magazines, I mean honestly, to give women this type of monotonous literary diet and then wonder why some of them are a bit flaky...) but rather in the Gay and Lesbian section. There is nothing wrong with this section, but I had no idea that one's sexual orientation had to fit this category for the bookstore to assume one had an interest in women's issues outside of makeup and shoes.

Practically livid to the point that I was shuddering a bit, I even moved a couple of the Ms.'s over to the women's interest section.

The store rep said that usually people who read Ms. tend to go towards the "ethnic and culture" section ( a section that Ms. was supposed to be in, but hmm...appeared to have been smack dab in the middle of gay and lesbian instead). I promptly told him, hey I"M A WOMAN, I HAVE INTERESTS OTHER THAN CLOTHES AND WHEN I CAME TO FIND MS. MAGAZINE I WENT TOWARDS WHAT I THOUGHT WOULD (SHOULD) BE THE APPROPRIATE SECTION--Women's Interest!

The next time you guys come into a store, show your support for Ms. mag. Look to see if the store even carries it and if they don't ask them why not and that you would love to see it on their shelves. If they do carry it, note where it is in relations to the Women's section, applaud them for their "astounding" assumption that Ms. should be relegated to a corner if that happens to be the case and tell the manager that you'd like to see if reach the bigger market of WOMEN IN GENERAL!!!!

As a long time reader of this magazine I've noticed that, with the purchase of Ms. Magazine by the Feminist Majority, it's on the rise again! You get everything from current events to To-Do lists to book reviews. It is a must read for every feminist out there! Don't trust me? Read it for yourself.

Read Best Reviews of Ms Here

The very first issue of this magazine I read was their tenth anniversary issue from 1982, an issue my mother put away in my bottom drawer so I could read it when I was old enough. Looking back at that issue, which in turn looks back at older issues, and then looking at the issues since, it's dizzying to realise how far women have come in such a short period of time, and yet how far we still have to go before achieving full equality, rights, and representation. It's also downright scary to read some of these articles and updates about situations around the world and even in the United States itself; in many ways women in the U.S., as far as we still have to go, are far more fortunate than our sisters in places like Africa, Asia, the Mideast, and smaller towns in America. At the same time, such articles are not without hope, as they bring us the stories of women who are actively involved in making a difference in these other nations and smaller, more restricted, regions of America. I'm also glad that they no longer have ads in the magazine, and that they continue to run the "No Comment" segment on the back page, showcasing particularly shocking examples of sexist and misogynistic advertisements.

However, as other readers have noticed, this magazine can be too scholarly for some readers. While it's great to read these thoughtful in-depth articles about womens' struggles in other places around the world, sometimes you just want a change of pace and want something that's a little more lightweight, not so intensive in scope. People need to see that feminists aren't always so serious! I also agree that the magazine still has some way to go to reaching out to women of my generation and the younger generation (the tail end of Generation X and the older members of Generation Y), making these issues relevant to the third wave so that they won't dismiss the movement out of hand as being out of touch and outdated. Still, this is a great magazine, and I prefer it any day over something like Cosmo or YM.

Want Ms Discount?

Ms. is the most important women's magazine out there because it's about women as a whole, and not just diets and makeup and how to please a man. It's national and global news and spreads awareness without ever talking down to the reader. You may not always agree with it (I take particular offense at a 1993 cover story perpetuating the ritual abuse scare ... and the fact that it seemed like every woman who wrote in had been a victim of ritual abuse, a statistical impossibility) but Ms. encourages dialogue and feedback. I find it unfortunate that a reviewer of this magazine had a bad experience with the editor-in-chief and I hope she wrote back and demanded an apology for being rudely dismissed. You'll want to hold onto your issues long after you've thrown away those issues of "Jane." It's that worth it.

The Week - UK Edition

Once you get your subscription to The Week, you can throw out Newsweek, Time, and People, along with heavy magazines that focus on the arts, food, and decorating. The Week comes in a deceptively small package, on thin paper, but it beats the competition in the breadth of subjects it covers. No longer will you be opening your news magazine and reading the same lead intro story about the Bush presidency and the Middle East over and over again. No longer will you be getting a narrow US-centric view on national and world events. No longer will you be flipping through pages of glossy ads to actually get to some text. And no longer will there be subscription cards falling out and littering your reading area!

I was a bit apprehensive about receiving a gift subscription to "yet another news weekly," but The Week won me over with the first issue. The Week opens with the main news stories and _how_ they were covered--you get what happened, what the major editorials said, what the columnists said, and what we can expect next. The editors draw on coverage in The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Jerusalem Post, and hundreds of other print sources, so that the best of the best can be reprinted in The Week to provide diverse viewpoints. Dozens of sidebars provide human interest and shorter local happenings. One of my favorite sections is "The World At a Glance..." which is three pages chock full of news items from every continent, complete with a world map indicating the location of each story. Reading this weekly has really helped me bone up on my middle East and European geography. These news items are the important ones that somehow don't make it to our weekly national news broadcasts or print media.

The Week has a full spread on the best columns, from not US news media, but from European and international sources as well. You get the benefit of having read nine different major columnists from a diverse selection of sources, without actually having to go out and find these columns individually. In the "Talking Points" feature, major news issues are covered with input from three to six different sources.

Want fun? The Week also delivers coverage on People (celebrities) as well as the best of the Gossip for the week. It's balanced and just enough to keep one informed about celebrity happenings. Really, how many times can one read about Britney and Brangelina in a regular gossip rag? There are also not-to-be-missed reviews on Art exhibitions, Theater, Stage, Film, Music, Books, Restaurants, Television, and Travel. One of my favorite features in Books is the weekly guest who makes up a list of their favorite books. It's a great way to find both new books and old classics that people treasure. My other guilty pleasure from The Week is the real-estate section, which features gorgeous historic, opulent, and unusual real-estate that is currently on the market, as well as a "steal of the week."

Do you have enough yet? Don't worry, The Week also delivers Business news, Consumer news and product reports, detailed Obituaries, and recipes. With all I've described here, it sounds like this would be a tome, but as I said, this is the magazine that gets MORE information into LESS space and with less filler or extraneous information. Once you start reading The Week, your outlook will be changed, and it'll be hard to go back to the old media. Enjoy!

This review is for the U.S. edition. I couldn't find that edition on amazon but "The Week" deserves a review. I subscribed to this magazine in order to fulfill a new years resolution of becoming more informed and engaged with the world around me. Mainstream media is obsessed with Paris Hilton, Lindsey Lohan, and other irrelevant things concerning my life. "The week" is exactly what I was looking for. It's actual NEWS. I can read top new stories from around the world. For those who can't even think about getting their Paris Hilton or Lohan fix, the week has a page dedicated to celebrities. Updates on celebrities can be done in one page not several 15 minute segments/articles as in mainstream media. The magazine also sections on art, music, and books. There are "best of the best" financial articles from different sources. If you are looking for information without clutter and confusion, subscribe to "The Week". You won't regret it.

I really like the global format of The Week; it covers news from all over the world on a wide spectrum of topics, from serious to gossipy. But most of it is in the form of opinions from editorialists and columnists, all of whom have their biases. You can always count on getting two or more contrary opinions on every issue, but you can't count on getting any neutral in-depth analysis. This sometimes leaves me feeling more confused than enlightened trying to understand the world through opinions can be challenging. Having said that, reading The Week is fun and it will keep you current on domestic and international headline news, and it doesn't hurt to read what people in foreign countries are saying and thinking.

With copious magazine selections out there, this one lets you have access to news, finance, health, science, art, music, you name it. It's great especially for me since I'm a SAHM and with little time investment, I can still be informed on various subjects going on in the world.

I enjoyed this magazine immensely for a year but for the past month, rather than receiving the issue on Saturday or Monday, it arrives on Tuesday or Wednesday. Customer service does not consider this a problem (somehow erroneously believing the week starts on Tuesday?), and swear they have done nothing differently, although they say they drop off the magazines at the post office "Friday OR Saturday" for delivery "Monday OR Tuesday". I understand the need for a tight schedule, but the OR is unforgivable for a weekly. Friday delivery to the post office would ensure I would get the magazine by Monday, latest, and the news would not be stale as 3 day old fish not to mention that many of the featured, like TV picks, start on Monday.

AVOID THIS MAGAZINE SERVICE IS GOING DOWNHILL FAST.

Latina Magazine (1-year auto-renewal)

I don't think it's fair to make Latina magazine be the be-all, end-all magazine for American Latinas. It's not like we throw a fit when Cosmopolitan perpetuates "female" stereotypes. I understand that for minorities, it would be nice to hold mainstream media to a higher standard, but sometimes, don't you just want to kick back on the couch and not stress?

For those moments of kicking back, not stressing, and not finding fault with everything around me, I love reading Latina magazine. Thoughtful articles and first-person essays, easy recipes, and great trends.

And, I'm not even Latina -I'm Asian-American. And I have to say, reading this magazine has made me appreciate just that much more how we are all sisters in this world, just trying to find happiness, love, and a hot pair of shoes.

This is one of the best magazines I've ever read. It's not full of ads. It has articles on topics which interest me. It helps me to brush up on my Spanish. The clothing and makeup featured are suitable to the everyday woman. Unlike other magazines, you won't see clothes that are only suitable on a runway and that aren't really affordable. What I love is that they always tell you where an item can be found and the cost of the item on the same page. You don't have to root through ridiculously small print in the back of the magazine to find out where you can locate the clothes or makeup. Because Latin women come in all shades, they give makeup tips which can be used by everyone. I'm an African American woman who has had subscriptions to Elle and to Honey Magazine. I have found Latina to be far more helpful and to have better fashions.

I received this magazine as a reward for taking surveys, so I am not actually paying for the subscription I have. However, I don't regret picking it as the reward. I will say this: I do believe Latina Magazine to be an acquired taste. It won't be for every Latina, nor will it be for every one, in general. At most, it's just a fun magazine to read when you have some time to kill. There are some pretty heartfelt stories in some of the issues as well and hey, even some great recipes in them and who could go wrong with that?

I read a lot of reviews that blasted this magazine for its use of "Spanglish" because it makes those of us who speak "Spanglish" look badly. I'm not ashamed of my use of "Spanglish" and I think it's sad that Latinas judge each other like this. Not all of us grew up immersed in the Spanish language and thus, are not fluent.

I really enjoy receiving the magazine, it's taught me a lot about being proud of my Mexican heritage and even this morning, I was sharing it with my almost 13-year old son. Pitbull was in this month's issue and my son loves Pitbull and his music. We also looked through the magazine and I had him trying to translate some of the ads and articles. My son is going to grow up speaking "Spanglish" like me.

Recently, the magazine had an article about being fluent or not; not being fluent doesn't make me any less Mexican or any less proud. I'm glad that this magazine is here for Latinas like me.

I would definitely recommend this to Latinas all over!

Electric Flight (1-year auto-renewal)

I bought a subscription of this for my father-in-law as an early Christmas gift in November of 2009. I was told though that he wouldn't receive a copy until March. I was a little miffed at the late start, but let him know it was coming. By the third week in March of this year he still hadn't recieved it. I called the company and they said it should arrive in a week or so. Now, in the second week in April, he still hasn't gotten it. Once again I called them to find out the problem. This time I was told that they had cancelled the subscription because delivery of the magazine had failed. They had cancelled it without notice or refunding my account. After 10 minutes on the phone I finally got them to reinstate the subscription. Now I'm supposed to expect the July edition in May. Aka wait at least another 6 weeks to receive something that is already late.

My father-in-law loves the magazine, but frankly it's hard to appreciate something you never receive. If it doesn't show up in the coming weeks I'm cancelling the subscription and sending him a very apologetic card.

After purchasing the subscription it seems to take forever to get your first copy(but no matter how you order a magazine it seems this way). The magazine is excellent. It concentrates on smaller RC airplanes, especially electrics.

Your Dog (1-year auto-renewal)

Mrs. Spudman started a subscription to this canine-centered publication about a year ago, and I recently discovered it myself. She passes on the issues (once read) to our veterinarian. I like this little newsletter that's filled with readable articles about behavior, diet, and health. The most recent issue before me has articles about: a dog's incredible sense of smell, adjusting puppies to our world, dental health, dieting down your dog. I read about a Tuft's researcher's discovery that some canine "diet" kibble has more calories than regular kibble.

Ever see the body condition system chart in your veterinarian's office? It portrays sample pictures of dogs that are too thin, ideal, and too heavy. That very chart is reproduced in the current issue. Sorry, Dr.Dearing, but we're keeping this one.

I like that the articles are very readable, pertinent and diverse. The editor-in-chief is a veterinarian and all articles are written by or approved by veterinarians. Each issue is on the thin side ( current one is 16 pages); the thinness results from the absence of advertisements. There are none here, resulting in a publication physique that I consider ideal according to the Spudman publication fitness chart.

Subscribing to Your Dog will make you a well-informed dog parent and help support in a small way the Tufts University veterinary research. Visit the Your Dog web page to find a few additional articles posted online with large print and color photographs.

the information in this magazine is reserched at the Tufts Veterinary School. It is not a fluffy, pretty publication, but is full of reliable information and product review information. I love it.

Das Neue Blatt

Purchased this magazine as a Christmas gift for my mother last year. Never realized a German subscription would be available in the U.S.

German still being her first language she is thrilled. It is delivered right on time, every week, so she looks forward to it and it keeps her up to date on the European news.

Having had such a positive experience, I have reordered the magazine for another year. Ordering is easy, everything is explained, you can even print out a gift card. Absolutely worth it.

Great magazine for those who want to read the latest German news and gossip. Bought it for my German grandma. Only problem was the time lapse of the arrival dates. Many contests and rewards from the magazines crossword puzzles and such are difficult to enter. The entry date usually expires before the deadline. Still a good buy.

Vital Speeches of the Day

As the name suggests the magazine is a collection of speeches (though not always vital they are varied and have a wide appeal). There is no advertising, no photography, only a collection of 5-9 different speeches which can cover topics from education to nuclear energy to the banking system to the practice of non-violence to ... well just about anything.

I have greatly enjoyed reading it, but there is one complaint I have: The speeches are sometimes not carefully proofread. Since this is a journal devoted exclusively to written transcripts I am discouraged that there are so many typos, occasionally to the point of making a speech almost unreadable (though admittedly this extreme is rare).

Overall, I reccomend it to people interested in broadening their view of the world and looking for different viewpoints.

On a side note, I tried to order this through Amazon and after six months of no service I finally contacted the magazine and was able to get the subscription started. You may want to go directly to the magazine's website for this subscription.

I ordered this April 6, 2004 and I have received nothing. There is no legitimate reason for the process to take this long.

Railpace Magazine

Not only do I really like Railpace but my wife reads every issue as soon as it arrives. I literally have to try and race home quickly to get it out of the mailbox first if I don't want to be behind her on the reading, and she's not a train-nut. We both enjoy the information of local interest (we live in PA) but we've also found the photography and information about the Boston area and others that we don't travel to to be outstanding and informative. Each issue is packed with tons and tons of great photography, outstanding news items, as well as information about upcoming train shows or special passenger trains.

I was getting Trains magazine for a while, but it is too much geared to the industry of trains, like if you happen to own a railroad or worked for one. I don't, I'm just a guy who likes to ride a few trains a year and maybe go watch one pass by at the local crossing and now I can stay on top of all of the things going on in my area. But even if you're more involved and actually track trains, this magazine is for you, too.

A few times there has even been coverage of the same story in both Trains and Railpace. For example, the Baldwins that run in NJ. The Trains article was brief, but the Railpace coverage had 5-times the photos and way more text about the operation, not to mention maps and other unique information.

Railpace is outstanding in its historical coverage as well. There are often articles on a branch line or a junction and Railpace prints rare photos showing how things were configured years ago and contrasting that to today's operations. It is great to learn the history this way.

An overall outstanding magazine if you live anywhere in the North East US and have any interest in trains at all.

If you are into railroading on the East Coast of the USA it is tough to beat this magazine. Picture heavy with great maps and news articles/info that you won't find in any other rairoading magazine. Photos and news covers roughly from Virginia to New England, Eastern Canada and Ohio. Highly reccomended!

Dermatologic Clinics

Dermatology Clinics is a journal that showcases a broad topic and then reviews it from all angles. With a common guest editor at the helm, different articles on the dermatological problem, are written by different authors. The beauty of this is that the reader who gets to read the journal can do so readily expecting high quality articles with up to date information. With a hardcover format, the journal belongs on the shelves of every dermatologist. Truly a great publication!

Library Sparks

What a great new magazine for childrens' librarians. Each issue has ideas for lessons that are adaptable for different grade levels. There is an interview with an author. There are several reproducible pages that connect with the lessons presented.

The only downside of the last issue was that the suggested websites to view had URL's that were much too long to type. A lot of the websites weren't that good either. I wish it were a little cheaper to subscribe. The good stuff is always expensive!

Digital Photographer - England

I love this magazine. You will find great inspiration, stimulating imagery and information. They connect well with their readers. I rarely will spend so much on a magazine but I do on this one, because there is always something in the publication that will benefit you.

I have been a photographer for many years, and this is probably the best photo mag I have ever read. The quality of the articles are really good, and the DVD's that are included in the magazine are often very helpful. You get what you pay for. This is an expensive subscription but well worth it. It is not uncommon to see the new-stand price for this magazine at over $20 a mag, and I have paid this price many times and been glad that I did.

France Football - Tuesday Edition

This is truly the bible of all Soccer Magazines. No magazine on the planet covers the entire game as well as France Football. Loaded with Stats and great articles on players, coaches and in general everything else about the game. They're also the ones who award the prestigious Balloon D'Or (Golden Ball) which is considered to be the best of the World Soccer player of the year awards. They've been doing it much longer than FIFA. Well worth the subscription price.

Vermont Magazine

In the recent past, I've subscribed to Vermont Life. Unfortunately, that magazine was full of more advertisements than Vermont Life. I thought this year, I'd give this publication a try. What a wonderful surprise! I've received my 1st issue and its full of interesting articles about my beloved state. I realize that some advertising is a must, but it was refreshing to read this magazine.

One of the things I like most about Vermont Magazine is its home-town feel and appearance. The articles are written by Vermonters or those who simply love it and want to share their experiences. One thing that continually frustrates me about current magazines is the proliferation of advertising, much of it inappropriate. The advertisements are tasteful and most of them showcase Vermont business. There are a few in the current issue that have international products, but are associated with a store or event. For example, one can win a Sony digital camera in the Vermont Magazine photo contest.

There is a regular "Features" section that features four to six different articles. In the July/August 2012 issue there is one entitled "Jumping Off the Shelves," an article about Vermont's independent bookstores. In the March/April issue the is one about "Fred's Cabin," a Woodswoman-like article about a "hillside cabin [that] was built entirely from scratch." The magazine has evolved into a lovely magazine replete with excellent quality, full-color photographs and wonderful articles. Unlike its competitor, Vermont Life, this one still has stories this household anticipates and loves to read.

Canadian Business

"Canadian Business" is a long time magazine published since 1928. It is published out of Toronto, Ontario and is generally published bi-weekly.

The November, 2011 issue contains 132 pages. Topics include the following:

An editorial and a separate opinion piece on the Occupy Wall Street protesters

Letters from readers

Winners and losers: companies and people that go up and down

Analysis on Steve Jobs

Article on the oilsands of Alberta province

Article on a successful Canadian mining company

Guide to Canadian graduate business schools (MBA schools)

Article on France's School of Economic Warfare

Article on entrepeneur financing and banking

Summary of three books

The magazine has a similar layout to popular American business and news magazines. There does seem to be quite a bit of coverage of American businesses from a Canadian perspective.

At $70.24 for 22 issues, (1 year), it is pricey. I saw a postcard offering the magazine for $24.95 plus tax, for the same number of issues, to Canadian subscribers only.

Try the website; it is free.

Canadian unemployment rate in September of 2011 is 7.1%.

I sometimes read this magazine and I'm from Canada; it's a pretty good book with a good Canadian slant towards topics.

Junior Baseball

This is a great kids magazine for the baseball lover in your house. My little buddy is 8 and I have given him this gift for the last 2 years and it really helped to improve his reading skills because he wanted to know everything in the magazine!

I found this magazine on the Amazon Web-site and decided to take out a shorter subscription to see if he liked it. He sure did. He is 7-1/2 years old and loves baseball. After the first issue, he is already asking me to please keep getting it for him. He loves the tips, etc. from the big league players that he recognizes from games on TV. Very excellent magazine for boys, and maybe girls, who are playing and getting interested in baseball. Also contains some interesting puzzles, etc. to give it great variety.

Sea Classics

I have subscribed to this magazine for almost 8 years. I found it by accident on a shelf in a bookstore. I wait by my mailbox about the same date each month waiting for the next issue.

It combines current events in the US and all other Navies, with articles of a naval nature. It goes into lengthy histories of individual ships, and classes of ships. It provides a complete guide of what is happening to all navies all over the globe. It goes into technical details as far as development of classes of ships, and technologies embarked on board. Many articles are written by the actual sailors who served on board those ships.

It also tell of development and abandonment of certain naval technologies throughout the years (ever wonder what happened to the Navy's old hydrofoils, they had a recent article). They go into details that only someone who worked, lived, ate, cried and laughed on board would ever know. It also goes into historical events and analysis of the significance of those events. They provide a balanced approach and avoid anything of a political nature.

It may be boring to those not ever deployed on a REAL SHIP or embarked on a REAL CRUISE (and not on those whimpy ocean liners). However, if you know of anyone ever in the Navy (not the air side-they have their own magazine called "Air Classics"), who went to sea or served on a ship, then a subscription to this magazine is a MUST.

I have kept every copy of mine over the years and find myself re-reading them over and over.

I have been a subscriber for 15 years. In the last five the quality has dramatically decreased and decreased to the point of ridiculousness. It has gotten so bad that I will not be renewing my subscription and I encourage everyone to find better sources for their naval and maritime stories. Below are the major reasons I will not be renewing my subscription.

1: One of their more prolific authors cannot refrain from inserting his personal biases and opinions into every article. This is especially noteworthy when he is penning the section "Intel File: Latest Naval & Maritime Happening Around the World." That is supposed to be news from the world, but it reads as an ill-informed editorial section. His opinions are presented as fact, and are often quite wrong. Furthermore, this same author has an addiction to the exclamation mark. Looking at the October 2011 edition his "Intel File" entry contains two exclamation marks, this for a section supposed to be factual and unbiased. An exclamation mark, never mind two, is an entirely inappropriate usage of punctuation.

2: There seems to be no real editing done of articles. The staff credits note that the editor is also the publisher, which is a direct conflict of interest (the editor should be focused on getting things right, the publisher is concerned about getting them done). It's clear which of those interests is winning. Every month I am spotting at least three grammatical, or even spelling, errors. I am a Historian by training so while I have a fair amount of experience with grammar and proofreading, I am by no means a professional in the field. I imagine there are many more errors which a trained eye would spot.

3: I understand they must sell add space. They are a print media and like most print media I'm sure that membership subscriptions do not cover the costs. Nevertheless, I read the magazine for enjoyment. What I do not read it for are political commentaries. For perhaps the last two years they have been publishing full page ads for an organization called FLAME, a vehemently and unabashedly pro-Israel lobbying group. Regardless of my own opinions on the Arab-Israeli conflict, it's not something I want to be subjected to a lecture about while reading a magazine for enjoyment.

4: They do not fact check. Let me repeat that. They do not vet their articles. The October 2011 issue published an article that was overwhelmingly plagiarized from Wikipedia in all but the last three paragraphs. I will present excerpts from the article to demonstrate. In each excerpt I will provide the article first and then the wiki entry. The entry is entitled "The Deadly Sting of the Wasp!" and the wikipedia entry comes from the USS Wasp (CV-7).

Article: This experiment-the first time a US Army plane had flown from a US Navy carrier-foreshadowed the use of this ship in the ferrying role that she performed so well during WWII.

Wiki: That experiment, the first time that Army planes had flown from a Navy carrier, foreshadowed the use of the ship in the ferry role that she performed so well in World War II.

Article: Wasp and her escorts passed through the Straits of Gibraltar under the cover of darkness, avoiding the possibility of being detected by Spanish or Axis agents.

Wiki: Wasp and her consorts passed through the Straits of Gibraltar under cover of the pre-dawn darkness on 19 April, avoiding the possibility of being discovered by Spanish or Axis agents.

Article: Early in May in the Pacific, the Battle of the Coral Sea had been fought, then the Battle of Midway a month later.

Wiki: Early in May, almost simultaneously with Wasp's second Malta run -Operation Bowery -the Battle of the Coral Sea had been fought, then the Battle of Midway a month later.

Article: This group transited the Panama Canal on 10 June and at that time,* it became Task Force 18 and carried the two-star flag of R/Adm. Leigh Noeys in Wasp.

Wiki: The group transited the Panama Canal on 10 June, at which time Wasp and her consorts became TF 18, the carrier flying the two-star flag of Rear Admiral Leigh Noyes.

* Grammatical error, no comma was needed. Or, if one wanted a comma, one should have been present after the preceding and. Again, no fact checking or editing appears to have been present.

I could provide dozens of more excerpts, literally going sentence by sentence through the article, but I believe my point has been made. A simple google search for any one sentence would have turned up the wiki entry, as that is exactly what I did to confirm my suspicions. And while this is the most glaring example to date, I have seen dozens of factual errors and incorrect presumptions in previous articles going back several years.

Avoid this magazine. It once was good. It is not anymore.

Like most specialty magazines, this has rather variable editorial quality. I have to restrain myself from editing as I read.

I expect many of the authors are semi-pro, at best, but that's just fine with me. I'd rather learn from an expert/veteran than hope for the best from a polished journalist who hasn't been there.

Good stories, mostly, and always leaving me wanting more. I think that works out ....

I ordered this magazine after my husband saw a copy at a friends home. It has brought back memorys that only those that serve can understand. It is interesting to find out where the ships ended up and why. Keep this wonderful magazine alive for the many men and women who find solace in it.

Got this for my Dad, who was in the Merchant Marines at the end of WWII and was in the Coast Guard after that. In general he's hard to please, but he's told me several times how much he loves this magazine. He even keeps reminding me to renew his subscription!
