Get Lost Magazine

Primarily aimed at the younger (and poorer) travel bug sufferer this glossy Australian magazine is a pretty good read and in it's country of origin quite cheap.

The magazine covers travel spots around the world and is aimed very much at looking at travel to out of the way places and undiscovered gems and it probably doesn't matter where you are from given that the magazine tends not to focus overmuch on it's home turf. Most of the articles are just a few pages long and overall the format is pretty much par for the course for any travel mag around the planet.

One thing that would make it a tiny bit less useful for the international reader is that the adverts in the mag are going to be aimed at Australian readers and any dollar prices listed are generally for the same readership.

Overall a good magazine chock full of great travel ideas with which to destroy your bank balance.... I just put down my latest copy a moment ago!

Cincinnati Magazine (1-year automatic renewal)

I was born and raised in Northern Kentucky (where Cincinnati was known as "Over the River" when we were going to the city, we simply said we were going over the river...). Anyway, I now live over 100 miles away, and greatly enjoy receiving Cincinnati Magazine each month to keep track of what's happening in my home area. I have been a subscriber for several years. The articles are diverse, and frequently do include Northern Kentucky. The writing is good, and I have been very happy with Cincinnati magazine. (Regarding the one-star review of this magazine: I do wish people would not leave negative reviews based solely on their impatience to receive their first issue! That is not a true review of the magazine itself).

I highly recommend Cincinnati Magazine.

This is such a well written general interest magazine. I've only lived in Cincinnati a couple of years and this magazine has already informed me of the culture, fashion, food, history, top doctors/dentist/etc. They always have compelling, in-depth feature stories you would enjoy even if you didn't live here. The dine section is amazing, as well. There are places I would've never thought to go to--for every budget--weekday restaurants, as well as high-end places to bring visitors from out of town to impress.

The design and photography are gorgeous. This really is like reading a top-notch national magazine with local interest.

Psychology Today (1-year auto-renewal)

If you enjoy magazines like People, that offer you a glimpse of the latest gossip or the newest thingamajig, then click the order button for Psychology Today.

As someone who was taking Psych courses as an undergraduate I bought a three-year subscription to PT. As I continued my studies, I began to just toss the magazine away as it would arrive. There is no real substance here for my interest.

The magazine offers great topics but just didn't seem to follow through. Most of the time I was able to guess what the overall article would be like after reading the title. New information was rarely offered that wasn't 'common knowledge'.

If you are looking for the quality of an APA journal, this is not one. But if you love the field of psychology as I do, it's a fun and relevant periodical. Kind of a Enquirer of Psychology. I find it a fun read when I'm relaxing, but be careful of their interpretation of research. You know how that can go. It's also got a flavor of Maxim or Cosmo type topics. Sex, relationships, dating, what do men/women like as well as diet/nutrition. Overall recommended.

I'm a long-time reader of PT--I just read Aaron Knoll's review. I must agree in many respects. Since Daniel Goleman left the editorship of PT, it seems to me to have slid continually away from sound, scientific (insofar as the Art of Psychology can go), in the direction of the trendy, dare I say, Aquarian approach to life. There isn't really a substitute for the magazine, so I'd certainly like to see it become a little less like Soap Opera Digest. (I'm about to renew my subsceiption though!)

Psychology Today is truly a magazine for persons who want some information about psychology without going to school and studying psychology. Therefore, there are going to be two mindsets about this magazine: The psychology students and professionals will think this too fluffy and stuffed with ads; and the everyday man on the street will say, "Wow! That was a pretty good article. I learned something."

My own experience is similar to the gentleman who purchased a three year subscription to Psychology Today and then wound up tossing it away more and more as his formal studies gave him an in depth education of psychology and how it is used. I loved this magazine when I was a teenager planning to work with people to help them solve their problems. However, these days as someone who has a master's in social work I would probably not get much out of the magazine.

The ads are certainly numerous and you get the feeling that Psychology Today wedges in just enough articles to keep subscribers interested while selling ad space to make big bucks. That's a shame.

Overall, this magazine is best suited for the everyday man on the street who has not studied psychology and who does not plan on studying psychology. These people will get a lot more out of their subscriptions to this magazine. I recommend this for the layman while students of psychology at the college or postgraduate level would do well to skip this one.

Three stars.

I'm not a psychology student, and at this time, I don't plan on becoming one. For now, I'm a 25-year-old with a history of depression and OCD and I consider myself a bit of an autodidact. I have taken a few psychology classes in the past and I've also been known to read psych textbooks for "fun".

Psychology Today is certainly not a textbook and it's definitely made to appeal to Average Joe, which I think it does wonderfully. The articles are informative and interesting, but not too in depth. For me, it's a good way to find out about new ideas and then go and look up more information if I so desire.

If you're looking for a textbook, visit your local collegiate bookstore. If you're looking for an easy-reading source for good information to serve as a stepping stone to further studies, Psychology Today is a great place to start.

USA Today : the Nations Newspaper - 10 Week Subscription

The subscription thru Amazon is fine, but USAToday has altered their format. I can live with the smaller size, but the type is so small I need a magnifying glass to read it! I know print newspapers are losing business to the internet, but these changes are not in the best interest of their customers. I hope they re-think these changes and go back to the old format

The USA Today is a great newspaper for those who do not have a lot of time to read long articles. It gives you an update of what is happening around the USA and world. It's a fine newspaper that meets my needs.

What were they thinking? Is this the new COKE? The new look is virtually un-readable because:

1. The paper is thinner, so thin I'm afraid it will self destruct in 10 secons.

2. The font is so much smaller that it is AN EFFORT TO READ IT.

3. The reduced ink content is laughable. Have you seen the weather map? It almost fades into the horizon. No impact whatsoever.

4. The organization of articles, once a strength is now a jumbled mess.

5. The LIFE section is so ingrained with meaningless pop culture articles, geared to 16 year olds, anyone over the age of 30 pages through that section in, oh, let's say 10 seconds before they give up.

They are beggin us to read the paper on line, where unfortunately for them, we have better national choices (NYT, WST)and regional choices.

I hope this paper dies a quick death.

Shooting Times (1-year auto-renewal)

SHOOTING TIMES magazine has been around for almost five decades now. It's a like a Ford or Chevrolet. It's a standard source of information for people who are interested in shooting, re-loading and what's new.

I like it because I'm more interested in shooting than I am in hunting, hiking or other outdoor sports. SHOOTING TIMES is helpful to hunters, black-powder shooters, defensive shooters re-loaders and target shooters, but it retains more general focus which I find helpful.

I like to shoot and I enjoy keeping track of what's new. The current issue of SHOOTING TIMES has a great article by J. Guthrie about Marlin's new XL7 bolt-action rifle. There's also an interesting piece by Dick Metcalf about Ruger's new semi-automatic pistol, the SR9. I can always count on current information by well-informed writers in SHOOTING TIMES.

Although not specifically oriented to collectors, SHOOTING TIMES often includes an article about a classic firearm. This month it was the famous lever-action Savage Model 99. Paul Scarlata wrung a couple of them out on the range. They date back to the early 1900s, a time when most sporting rifles were lever-actions, not bolt-actions. And, they are still capable shooters if the rifleman does his part.

If you are interested in shooting, you'll enjoy SHOOTING TIMES. I like it and gave it five stars.

I went through Amazon to subscribe to this magazine because it did not appear you could subscribe to it at the Shooting Times website without also agreeing to automatic renewal. It is a great magazine.

Bear Hunting

I have been a subscriber to Bear Hunting Magazine since it's second issue. It is still the only magazine devoted solely to Bear Hunting. It is also the only magazine that I read cover to cover. If you are interested in bears or bear hunting at all I highly recommend this magazine. It is not as "commercialized" as the other, bigger hunting mags. I think the editor must have some great connections with bear hunters because he gets stories noone else has. The photography is great, too.

This magazine is EXCELLENT for anyone interested in bear hunting. Every isue is packed with a ton of information from just getting started to a well seasoned hunter its got it all. if your interested in bear hunting you CANT find a better magazine.

America in WWII

America in WWII is a well-written magazine. It focuses on stories from the homefront as well as the military. Many stories are told in the first person adding credibility and detail not found in other accounts. Solicited stories submitted are interesting and fresh perspectives of a bygone era. I read each issue cover to cover. Well-done.

America in WW II is a look at ourselves during the dark days of the second world war. It takes a different approach to the war by presenting actual first person accounts from the average GI and Sailor in addition to how life on the Home Front was at the same time. There are enough publications on this time period covering the generals, the armies and the tactics, but America in WW II actually brings the war home. There is truly something for every historian of World War II, no matter where your interests lie. The first WW II magazine I have enjoyed enough to actually subscribe to.

National Post

For many years, I have vacationed in Canada, in Ontario's Ottawa Valley in particular. Because I am a news junky, I need to sit down to breakfast with my paper every morning. In years past, I would normally read the Toronto Star or the Globe & Mail (also from Toronto). As an avid reader of literature, I would delight in both those papers' high literacy -such an antidote to the dumbed down, eighth-grade English of American papers. As a political conservative, though, I would scratch my head a bit and think, "My, those Canadians sure are...different."

Enter the National Post, Canada's answer to our USA Today, but a far more literate read. I had honestly thought that conservatism had died out in Canada when former Tory Prime Minister Brian Mulroney's left office under a cloud of suspicion. Yet, when I visited Canada this June, I discovered this paper, which has a conservative slant, while dining at a Husky truck stop. I arrived the day before national elections, and the Post was boldly anticipating minority rule government and a return to centrist policies in its headlines.

So, I thought, scratching my head: "Hmmm."

When I returned to Canada in late August, the National Post was covering our own Republican convention in New York City. On balance, the coverage was quite fair, and the usual smug anti-American (or anti-Republican, at least) slant one normally sees in Canadian publications was gone. What a breath of fresh air in a country already blanketed by clean, fresh air!

The editorialists who covered the RNC covention did not uniformly support President Bush and his policies, but absent also from the pages of the Post were the bitterness, vitriol and haughty attitudes which characterize too many American newspaper editorials, not to mention those written outside our borders.

Particularly enjoyable are the writings of Tory editorialist Andrew Coyne, television critic Jason Chow and columinst Jonathan Kay, whose work also appears with some frequency in Commentary magazine.

Because many Americans are under the misimpression that Canadians are all knee-jerk liberals, I entreat them to read this fine publication. Erudite, witty and a bit brash, it also boasts a clean, modern layout and bold color photography.

Personally, the National Post is my favorite newspaper, along with Great Britain's Daily Telegraph and the Washington Times, New York Post and Wall Street Journal over here.

For those laboring under the stereotype that our neighbors to the north have nothing to say, I invite them to unfold this most pleasant surprise of a broadsheet.
