Brain World

Brain WorldBrain World is such a wonderful magazine. It contains all the most up to date information about the brain. There's always a good balance of top neuroscience with entertainment (fun celebrity profiles and their work with the human mind) and practical tools & tips for realizing the great value of your brain. It is a visionary magazine, bringing attention to our huge potential as human beings, our natural desire to help others and the earth, and new ways for actualizing it in our lives.

Easily outstrips Psychology Today in regard to an intellectual approach to the subject matter and rivals, and in places excels Discover's quarterly brain series. Smart, cutting-edge articles that the even somewhat initiated layman will be able to comprehend, while none of the writing is at all dumbed down. A great find!

Buy Brain World Now

This magazine has interesting articles about the brain that will appeal to many different people. It doesn't talk up and it doesn't talk down but shares in a smart and savvy fashion information for scientists, educators, professionals, parents, students and the rest of us. It's really comprehensive. I always look forward to the next issue.

It was a gift. I had never heard of the magazine. I am assuming he liked it as he requested it.

Also, I don't mind shopping on Amazon but the surveys are rediculously time consuming. I prefer not to get surveys.

Nonprofit Quarterly

Nonprofit QuarterlyThe task of managing an institution in the nonprofit sector is by definition challenging. In fact, it often leads to career extinction and personal burnout.

One sad feature of this unpromising landscape is that non-profit leaders too often fail to take advantage of the resources that are available to them, an inventory that includes this high-quality niche quarterly,

The Nonprofit Quarterly is issues-driven. That is, you will not only find some practical how-to's in its pages. You will also be exposed to the trends, issues, threats, and opportunities that are only observed well from 30,000 feet.

Sometimes examples are the best teachers. Volume 13/2 of TNQ included features entitled 'On the Road to Find out', 'In Whose Interest: Do National Nonprofit Advocacy Organizations Represent the Under-represented?', 'Do Big Names Really Draw Big Bucks?', 'Founders Who are Effective Over Time: Their Chracteristics', 'Emerging Nonprofit and Foundation Enforcement Issues', and 'Tiny Bubbles: A Guide to the *New* New Nonprofit Economy.'

In addition, valuable contributions come via the magazine's standing departments: 'Financial Management', 'Teaching Tools', and 'Philanthropy'.

TNQ is part of my ongoing education and support system. 'No need to do without it.

If you work or follow the nonprofit industry, Nonprofit Quarterly is an essential source for news and information.

The writing is top-notch, and they cover the issues that really matter.

The magazine articles, combined with their frequently updated website, gives deep insight into industry trends and breaking news in the sector.

Highly recommend!!

Jaguar World Monthly

Jaguar World MonthlyThis is a great periodical published in the UK about all things Jaguar. The magazine covers the latest Jaguar offerings (e.g. F-Type as of May 2014) but also devotes a good portion of its effort towards educating the reader on Jaguar's rich heritage (e.g. the XK120 days). Some of the reviews cover models that are not available in the US, such as the XF 2.2D and XF Sportbrake, but we Americans can keep dreaming that one day, those models might make it across the pond.

Very easy ordering process and no need to invoke exchange rate fees on my CC. The only down side is that you can't participate in the prize draws in the magazine, when living in the US.

It turns out that the slightest difference between the way I wrote my address when renewing and the way it was registered with the magazine subscription department caused my renewal to be registered as a new subscription. I contacted the magazine and they rectified it by crediting my account by one copy. Great response and service

Disney Pixar Cars

Disney Pixar CarsNow, as I write this review, let me make it clear that I'm an actual subscriber... with no kids... and I don't exactly fit in the "boys ages 5-9" category. When you subscribe to Cars Magazine, you'll find yourself fully immersed in the world of the beyond-incredible films and shorts. It's a delight to read and an absolutely awesome publication. I'll give you a tour of all the features of the magazine and its many pros and its few cons.

Each issue usually begins with either a "Close Up" or a "Road Trip". Close Ups are interesting, well-put-together profiles of various Cars characters. The folks at Pixar have a story for every vehicle, even if they have less than a minute of screentime, and it's a fun collage and fact-listing of the charries. If you've spent a lot of time looking at Meet The Cars or the Character Bios online, you won't learn anything new, but it's awesome all the same. Road Trips are one of my fave features -these are usually interviews or articles on what's going on in the "World of Cars". Such as a recent interview with Rob Gibbs, director of the Tall Tales shorts and an article on Cars Land. They're really good at being informative and entertaining, although they aren't in every issue.

Usually following this are the games, which are prevalent in every issue, multiple times an issue. The games are fun, though the majority are simple enough for a 5-9-year-old. Though I must say, some of the games were challenging enough to have me stumped! :)

The magazine's other major section is the comics. There usually range from 2-3 comics per issue, the first two usually longer and the third shortest. They're really well-written and on-canon with the Cars series. Some of the highlights include extensions of Mater's Tall Tales and new stories about some of the lesser-known characters, plus new stories of familiar characters (such as Francesco and Holley). They're one of the highest points of the publication!

Then there's Cars World, which delves into fascinating factoids about vehicles, racing, and car technology. I've learned a lot from Cars World that I never would've known!

And finally, there's Cars Club, the place where kids can send in their Cars artwork and creations.

The rest of the magazine is usually heavily populated with games, crafts, coloring pages, and a pull-out poster in every issue. From a physical standpoint, the flaw with the posters and some of the craft stuff is that cutting out or removing the pages will damage your magazine. Most children's magazines will have something on the back of the "removable" stuff to keep from messing up the rest of the magazine, but unfortunately, there are a lot of super-cool posters that I won't be able to take out without losing a couple of games pages in the process. I hope they address this issue in the future, and, by the time you read this, it may have been. Bottom line, the magazine's a ton of fun! If you have a Cars-centric kid in your household, then they'll most likely enjoy it. If you're a Cars-centric teen/adult, then just keep in mind that it IS meant as a children's magazine; I enjoy it primarily because I'm a Pixar geek and I enjoy kids' publications. If that's you, then you'll enjoy it. If you're looking for something a little more in-depth about the diecast-collecting hobby or the making of the movies, Cars Magazine isn't that (or at least isn't that yet!). The price isn't that great, but it'll make for some serious smiles when you pull Mater and Lightning out of your mailbox... whether you're nine or nineteen or ninety!

My little 3 year old grandson wanted mail just like his big brother and he picked this out. A great magazine for little ones and he loves that it has his name on the address. Great stories and puzzles to do with your children. You would not be dissapointed and neither will they.

Bust

BustAbout every four months or so I pick up an issue of Bust. It's not something I'd like to read on a regular basis, as I find any pop culture commentary to be a bit preachy, but this is a fun magazine with a sense of humor (Praise be!). Every issue features an interesting interview: Amy Sedaris, Tina Fey, etc. Nothing is overly examined; if you want a really thought provoking magazine, I'd subscribe to Ms., but I like Bust's writing because it is accessable and less angry and frustrated than Bitch--a comparable magazine. It also has a terrific column by writer Ayun Halliday (No Touch Monkey and East Village Inky), which usually cracks me up. In addition, you can usually find liberal join-up type articles as well as personal essays. Babes in Toyland is one of Bust's larger sponsors, so there are lots of articles on pleasuring yourself, vibrators, and getting in touch with your inner-inner woman. I think in terms of tone that Bust lies somewhere between Jane and Budget Living (sounds crazy, but it's true), with the obvious feminist bent. I really appreciate that it's not anti-male, too.

I'm really upset at all the negative reviews of BUST here. Bust magazine isn't claiming itself to be your feminist go-to source, it's a magazine for girls who like magazines. Personally, I love bust because I can look at fashion and trends & new designers without being bombarded by articles like "HOW TO MAKE HIM GROAN". If i wanted intense feminist essays I'd go read bitch magazine, but if you just want a fun magazine with cool fashion & a girl positive vibe, BUST is for you.

Buy Bust Now

Bust is an entertaining, highly readable magazine aimed at 20and 30-something women who unashamedly self-identify as feminists. It reflects a heavy influence of NYC/Brooklyn and the indie scene. The journalism is not terribly political or hard-hitting, but I don't think it intends to be. Bust does occasionally discuss things like comprehensive sex ed, breastfeeding in public, and misogynistic commercial ads; however, for the most part, the content is on the lighthearted side. I have subscribed for almost a year, although I've read it intermittently off newsstands since 2005, and overall, I really enjoy reading it.

The great thing about Bust is that it has substance and is fun to read. There are never articles like "How to Look Thinner," "Choose the Right Anti-Aging Surgical Procedure," and other inane, self-hate-inducing garbage typically found in mainstream women's mags. By contrast, Bust has articles on female stand-up comedians, women who travel the world volunteering, and how to choose the right vibrator or electric guitar. (These are also great examples of how Bust has a more lighthearted tone than Ms. or .) [MM edit: Thanks a lot, Amazon, for editing out the word B**ch right there -it's the name of a feminist magazine, not a derogatory term. Just shows you how far we still have to come.]

Bust's regular features include:

* Feminist interest columns -Pop Tart, a tongue-in-cheek take on current pop culture; Museum of Femoribilia, with articles on women's cultural objects (swimsuit bra cups, restrictive petticoats, girls' toys, etc.) from the 1920s on and the feminist issues raised by them; and Mother Superior, by Ayun Halliday, who writes self-effacingly and hilariously about her kids' antics

* DIY projects -Make your own queen-size headboard, reusable tote bags, mod-themed tea towels, pillbox hat, subversive cross-stitch art, etc.

* Recipes -Chinese wontons, gingersnaps, tsimmes, mozzarella cheese (yes, how to curdle cheese), how to throw an eco-friendly Thanksgiving feast

* Boy du Jour -A short interview with a hot, progressive, not-so-mainstream dude

* Fashion features -Trend spotting; up-and-coming independent designers; a multi-page fashion spread illustrating a current trend (steampunk, outdoorsy hippie, cowgirl, 80s rock-chic)

* Interviews with 1-2 progressive celebrities

* Travel -Articles on domestic and international destinations, with suggestions on restaurants, worthy hole-in-the-wall shops, things to do and see

* Sex -Reader Q&A with Betty Dodson and, more recently, Carlin Ross (this can get graphic at times, but it's info we were all wondering anyway); Sex Files, a column discussing general women's health topics; the "One-Handed Read," stories similar to those in other popular women's mags (i.e., porn for women)

* Reviews of 1) not-so-mainstream beauty products, 2) recent indie music, 3) books written by or about women, and 4) recent indie movies produced/directed/written by or about women

* Comic strip detailing the trialz & tribz of a high school sophomore in the 1980s (by Esther Pearl Watson) and a feminist-themed crossword puzzle at the end -I luuurve the comic strip and the crossword!

Bust is really big on indie musicians, especially those with a progressive bent, male or female. There is always at least one feature on a musician in each issue.

It's also important to note that Bust is not misandronistic in any way; in fact, they're very open about appreciating, crushing on, and having relations with men.

However, here's my one gripe: Bust has a somewhat "exclusive" vibe. Don't get me wrong -they're not out there bashing people who don't subscribe to their indie ethos; they're just not inclusive of a wide audience. I agree with a previous reviewer about the general lack of inclusion of women of color (and I am white). There are, of course, some exceptions to this -like the features on Eve, Rosario Dawson, Margaret Cho, Charlyne Yi, Sandrah Oh, and Rosie Perez, for example. But these features may be too few and far-between for women of color to feel truly championed. The bottom line is that Bust just aims for a very specific audience, which happens to be white, straight, crafty, indie/hipster feminists in their 20s and 30s. For some people, this may feel alienating. I occasionally feel like I'm not "hipster enough" for Bust, even though I'm pretty sure I fit into their intended demographic. ;)

Despite this, I continue to read Bust because I enjoy the positive media outlet it provides, especially compared to the likes of Glamour, Vogue, Cosmo -which make ALL women feel like crap, regardless of heritage, size, and interests. Personally, I get enough positive value out of Bust as a whole to let the occasional self-doubt slide.

Overall, Bust is an enjoyable, lighthearted, pro-woman magazine. I'd suggest you check it out at Borders or B&N before subscribing, just to get an idea of its readability and look/feel. Recommended!

I have been reading Bust magazine for close to five years now.

I have to say that all of the wonderful things that I love about being a woman are talked about in this magazine. And it isn't just for women, with music and book reviews, the magazine is for almost anyone who has a pulse. The main reason it is for women is that it says everything that our mothers wouldn't say but taught us that we should feel allowed to say.

This magazine is a must for any female who has no problem with calling herself the f-word: feminist.

Want Bust Discount?

I'm not going to say that Bust isn't a decent magazine. And if other feminist publications weren't around, I'd probably be reading it cover to cover. The problem is that they seem to assume that everyone who reads their mag is all do-it-yourself-y and artsy. And that they're actually interested in clothing. I'm not. I still appreciate some of the articles -for example, the article several months ago on the womanly diagnosis of "hysteria" and this latest issue's article about American women converting to Islam.

If you're a knitter, cool. If you're a sorta-kinda feminist, cool. If you just want to read something that isn't telling you to go out and find a husband, like, yesterday, this is a good mag too. But if you're looking for something that is a little more FEMINIST, pick up Bitch magazine.

Sunset (1-year auto-renewal)

SunsetI subscribed to Sunset for years, like 25 years and then gave it a rest about 3 years ago because it wasn't of much interest to me. I recently subscribed again when Amazon did a sale on this. What a total waste of money.

Sunset used to have a large section on gardening and things to do in your garden for each month. They also recommended new and different plants, sources to obtain them, what to plant and when, etc. This latest December issue had one stinking page with a new rose variety on it, nothing about how to prepare your garden, basically nothing at all. It did have an article in the gardening section on how to create a table centerpiece from pine cones and pine branch clippings. Wow! How unique.

What this entire magazine has become is a strange food magazine with a couple of travel articles on where to find expensive restaurants in the state.

Sunset should return to what it once knew how to do...show you how to build an outdoor project, focus on gardening and landscaping, places of interest in the West, home improvement projects, and toss in a decent recipe each month. It seems as if those days are long gone and no wonder it's not a staple at the supermarket checkout any longer.

I first came across Sunset after moving to Oregon and seeing it in a local store. Wanting to immerse myself in all things related to my new home, and hoping this was the regional equivalent of Southern Living (which Amazon[.com] also sells and which I recommend heartily), I bought the current issue. After looking through the copious pictures, travel news, and recipes, I immediately sent away for a subscription, and I've not been disappointed by any issue I've received.

Every month, I've seen places in the area that I wouldn't have known about, or maybe wouldn't have had time to take a trip to see. The recipes every month have also sounded very tasty, though until now I haven't actually tried to use any of them. The only weakness I see is that, for a regional monthly magazine, it's a little skimpy in its listing of upcoming local events, even for "large" cities like Portland. However, over the long term that won't matter much these are magazines you'll want to keep long after those lists are stale.

I've just had to relocate away from Oregon for employment reasons, but this subscription is like a monthly present from the area, reminding me why I moved there in the first place, and bringing bits and pieces across the country into my new home. Just writing this has got me anxious to try a recipe or two, as I'm sure they, like the magazine, will bring back the "flavor" of the region for me once more.

Buy Sunset (1-year auto-renewal) Now

My Grandmother used to give me all her Sunset Magazines when she was done looking through them. Now my Aunt is carrying on the family tradition of keeping a subscription going.

A unique feature in this magazine is the Recipe Index. You can also find ideas for Travel and Recreation, Garden and Outdoor Living, Home and Design and of course Food and Entertaining. The monthly columns are quite unique. Like in the December 2001 issue, Peter Fish wrote an article about The voice of Christmas which is about Bing Crosby.

In the middle of the magazine, you can find a postcard that says: Information worth sending for. They do all the work for you...you just have to circle the information number to receive information on everything from International Travel to products you see advertised. They never leave you wondering where to find a unique product as they have a "Sources: Where to Find It" section.

The Holiday Section always has me dreaming! Who would not want to walk on the Multnomah Falls Trail in Oregon or stand on a log bridge over a river and just dream a day away. Sometimes I would just like to dissolve into some of the pictures. Especially the last issue, where they showed a cabin in the woods with Christmas Lights in Stehekin, Washington.

If you live in Washington, this is a MUST HAVE!

The January 2002 issue has an article on kayaks and a recipe for French Cream with Blueberry Pudding.

Reading this magazine is really almost a family traditon!

Read Best Reviews of Sunset (1-year auto-renewal) Here

Sunset is a magazine dedicated to the people, culture, and lifestyle of the American west. This magazine divides its space among many different topics, such as food and entertainment, travel, recreation, gardening and more.

I have been reading this magazine for about six months now and there are several things about it that make it worthwhile. The thing that stands out the most are the photographs, and I'm not talking about just the stunning scenery one normally associates with the West (like the National Parks or the coastline). Even the ordinary pictures are striking. In the Gardening section, for example, it is common to find pictures of family homes that have beautifully landscaped yards full of blossoming flowers and colorful plants. In the Home & Design section, one can find nice photographs of home interiors, showing different designs and furniture.

One of the most unique qualities of Sunset is the fact that it is published in five different editions. There is a specially designed issue for the Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska, and British Columbia), Northern California (Northern California and the majority of Nevada), Southern California (Southern California and Hawaii), The Southwest (Arizona, New Mexico, and the Las Vegas area of Nevada), and Rocky Mountain (Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and Utah). This is a nice idea and it's one that other magazines should consider emulating. Based on where you live or where you have an active interest, this will be the region that your issue spends its pages covering. My subscription is for the Northern California region, so I am treated each month to articles about places like San Francisco, Sacramento, Reno (Nevada), Lake Tahoe, etc.

One of the specialties of this magazine is food and it is common to find recipes throughout every issue. There is a special section set aside for food, but one can expect to find food articles and recipes everywhere as they read. Even the cover page of each issue features a food dish. And as you might guess, the featured recipes are generally those types of cuisine normally associated with each specific region of the west, with plenty of generic recipes thrown in to make sure everyone has something to cook.

One of the specialty sections of this magazine that I like is the "Value Vacation"a subsection of Travel & Recreation. This section highlights a specific place to travel and then offers a day by day breakdown of things to do and places to see, with the cost for each itemized so you know exactly what to expect. The highlighted city or tourist area can be anyplace in the west and isn't limited to the region that your issue covers. This section is nice because it lets you see in black & white what it will cost for a few days of budget entertainment. It reminds me of some of the television programs shown on the Travel Channel.

Advertisements cover about 40 to 50 percent of the pages of each issue and they are often found in bunches in the front and back and on alternating pages for much of the rest of each issue (typical for most magazines). The ads can center on all sorts of different things. Because this is a combination travel/culture/food/entertainment/home & garden/living magazine, the ads cover a wide range of products and services, from laundry detergent to credit cards to cat food.

Overall, Sunset has proven itself an enjoyable magazine. I don't live in the western United States but this region is my favorite part of the country, so it makes sense that I would find something of value in this publication. I like the photography, the personal stories, the gardening and decorating ideas, and most other aspects of this magazine. If you're dead set in your ways and refuse to read about anything that deviates from your Eastern, Southern, or Midwestern lifestyle, then you may not like Sunset. But for the majority of people, Sunset has much to offer with pages and pages of eyecatching pictures and friendly articles about life in the American West.

Want Sunset (1-year auto-renewal) Discount?

This magazine is an excellent reference. My wife and I frequently turn to the current and past issues looking for reciepes, weekend getaways, gardening, and ideas for design and decorating. The magazine's focus is on the west, so most articles relate to activities and places in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, New Mexico, Utah, Wyoming, and Western Montana. Sunset has great ideas for your life on the West Coast.

Orlando MagazineThis is the magazine for getting the information on who's who, what to do, where to go and what's up in Orlando, Florida. It gives the inside information on the players in Orlando and has fabulous articles. It is not only an informative magazine, but incredibly beautiful too! I look forward to every issue!

I find this magazine a nice capture of what is going on in Orlando. While I miss Scott Joseph's food reviews, (He's at Orlando Home and Leisure at the time I'm writing this review) I enjoyed the reviews in the 7/2010 and 8/2010 issues.

Calendar listing is great and the annual dining awards are reason enough to subscribe.

Bloomberg Markets

Bloomberg MarketsI completely agree with the previous reviewer. This magazine can be purchased directly from bloomberg for significantly less and without a middleman. The magazine however is fantastic and I highly recommend it. I have problems with magazines like fortune which seem to babble on about people or events that leave me asking, "So what?" This magazine isn't a time or newsweek that is flimsy with minimal content. No, this magazine can take hours to read and is full of interesting and relevant information to both wall street and the american political system and what it means to the economy. Also, not too many advertisements, so you get more content than competitors. Great!!!

I tried to cancel my subscription to this magazine, but I was given the runaround. After first calling Bloomberg, then transferred to Bloomberg Markets, then given another toll-free number to call, and then the voice recognition system was totally failing -I gave up. Bloomberg Markets you win. I will just toss it in the recycle bin. What a waste of time and paper. Total fail.

Sporting Classics

Sporting ClassicsIf you like the writings of Robert Ruark, Gene Hill, or Gordon MacQuarrie, you'll love this magazine. It contains stories about fishing and hunting and is a real throwback to when America loved the sporting life. There are typically a dozen stories about deer hunting, duck hunting, big game hunting, fly fishing, deep sea fishing, firearms, and a host of other related subjects. One thing that I love about this magazine is that the stories encompass a wide range of hunting and fishing experiences. There are simple tales of duck or deer hunts or small-stream trout fishing in which I could do/participate in myself, lots of tales of hunting and fishing as a youth learning life's lessons, and some stories about safaris for big game and other worldwide type hunts that most of us can only dream about. The quality of the writing varies over a wide range, some stories much better than others, but all are worth reading. This magazine has sort of an elitist aura around it, and many of the advertisements are for very expensive firearms or guided hunting and fishing trips to exotic locals that I'll never be able to afford. If that is your thing, great, if not, so what? I wouldn't let this prevent you from subscribing if you like outdoors stories. America seems to have largely forgotten our sportsman's heritage and the literature of Ruark and his contemporaries disdained by an ignorant masses. This magazine is the antidote. A copy or two of this magazine given to an anti-gun fanatic may help to explain to them the allure of hunting, the outdoors, conservation, respect for the land and the animals, and gun ownership. A great magazine, I wish there was more like this available.

I couldn't agree more with Utah Blaine's review. My only problem with this publication is the depressed feeling I get as I reach the last page, knowing I'll have to wait another 8 weeks to enjoy it again. If you really enjoy outdoor writing (not hook-and-bullet, horn-and-fish porn) read the big three...Gray's, Sporting Classics and Shooting Sportsman.

Cycling Plus

Cycling PlusYes, this magazine is very expensive. However, it is the only English-language magazine that covers recreational road cycling very well. All of the articles are detailed and well written and most are of interest to readers outside of England. You can get the best price for USA subscriptions by ordering directly from the CyclingPlus web site.

Wonderful cycling magazine for everyday riders. The content is very well rounded covering racing, touring, commuting, recreational cycling, and mountain biking. This magazine doesn't just focus on how to make you faster or how to get you to buy the newest/greatest/lightest $8000 carbon bike. Most of the equipment the magazine tests is geared for regular folks who can afford reasonable prices. The only problem I have is the price in the U.S.

Buy Cycling Plus Now

I love this mag! Honest and appropriately opinionated product reviews. Great bike tests and incredibly helpful and practical "your questions answered" section. Anglocentric cyclists rejoice because the UK routes they cover (3 or 4 per issue) will have you searching for cheap airfares. Yes, it's expensive but mainly due to the horrible exchange rate. In the UK it sells for 3-4 pounds. Here on newstands it's about nine bucks. That's just the way it is! Much, much better than any U.S. publication. Check out their sister mag Pro Cycling for hard core racing fans. Both worth every cent.

I find this a high quality production with the best product reviews available anywhere. A cheaper way to access its content is via the digital edition, providing single issues, or better a years subscription (13 issues) for about $45, downloaded to your iPad or similar device.

Want Cycling Plus Discount?

I got a subscription to this magazine for my father last year for Christmas. I looked at as many of the various cycling magazines I could get my hands on and this one is hands down the best. My dad loves it! He reads each issue cover to cover and then reads it again. It has some of the best advice on parts and trails and how to train and prepare. It's not the fluff you get with American cycling magazines. This is for serious cyclists who want more out of a magazine than an advertisement for the latest, most expensive part.
