Autocar - England

Autocar - Englandweekly news, reviews and previews of the most influential cars in Europe. Brilliant writing and photos by well respected staff. Especially like Chris Harris' editorials. Most magazines feature Ferrari's and Porsche's near exclusively but Autocar also delivers in depth reviews of the cars people actually buy like Peugeots and Fords. See also the Autocar podcast.

My son is an auto journalist and finds this the very best source of cutting edge info. Well worth the high price. Most comprehensive info on English and European trends.

Das Fenster

Das FensterI've subscribed for several years just to maintain my German language reading skill and to find sources for German goods. Even the men in my family like to read it because the variety of articles are bound to interest almost everyone at some time. Highly recommended. Too bad that most other German language periodicals are now defunct.

This is a general home periodical for German-speaking US residents and does a good job of connecting people here with the "old country". I got it as a gift to my parents who live in a retirement home

Prospect - England

Prospect - England'Prospect' is a relatively new British public affairs magazine. In its 'About Us' page it speaks about being 'more readable than the Economist, more romantic than the 'Spectator' etc. Its aim is to be the foremost intellectual current affairs journal in Britain.

Good luck.

I recommend the magazine for long, outstanding articles a recent example of is Richard Reeves on John Stuart Mill. He shows in this article the complexity of Mill's positions, his integrity, his determination to make 'ideas' serve a practical human purpose.

In the course of it he cites Mill's famous principle,"The only purpose for which power can rightfully be exercised over any member of a civilised community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others."

I suspect no harm will be done to any reader, by from time to time reading some of the finer pieces in this journal.

Airstream Life

Airstream LifeEvery Airstream owner should be getting this magazine. There is a great variety of articles ranging from tectnical tips to Airstream history to places to go with your Airstream.

The magazine is printed on glossy stock with great photography. Advertisements are limited and Airstream related so that there is more information in this magazine for its size than the typical RV magazine.

I've been reading Airstream Life since it's beginning. I also read several other "RV" magazines. Airstream Life stands out among the crowd of "RV style" publishers.

The magazine is quality. This is not your standard flimsy paper magazine. Each issue is thick, perfect bound, and color throughout.

On top of the physical quality, what goes into the magazine is always interesting. It is a "cover to cover" read. The information is great, and really is not just for Airstream owners!

I dream of owning a 1960's Bambi Airstream and can live the Airstream camper's life vicariously through this cool magazine! Good articles and pics.

I subscribed when this magazine first came out.

I found advertising for businesses I could trust to help me with my '68 Land Yacht restoration.

The best column is how not to get taken when purchasing a vintage airstream.

It is amazing at the cons out therejacking up prices for items that are modern or easily available for less...buyer beware.

Also John Irwin's column is fun to learn ways to modify and adapt these trailers for personal convenience.

Two thumbs up for this quality magazine for airstream enthusiasts.

Want Airstream Life Discount?

Althought this magazine is targeted towards the Airstream owner, it is a great resource for anyone on the road traveling across the United States and then some. If you don't own an Airstream you will after reading your first issue. Packed with great information, product reviews, travel info, wonderful photos and a whole bunch of tidbits for everyone. The best RV magazine on the market today. But don't listen to me, pick one up and you'll agree.

Dig

DigMy son received a gift subscription to this magazine two years ago, and each year since, he's asked for a renewal subscription. If he didn't get it himself, I would be sorely tempted to subscribe to it for myself. The articles are accessible to kids, but not so dumbed down to be condescending. Some of the articles I've copied out and given to whom-ever I can (and I mean adults) because they're so darn interesting and I-didn't-know-that! Highly recommended for the young enquiring mind and the parent of the same!

Dig takes a subject that could be dull and transforms it into something fun, exciting, and easy to relate to. Well-researched and -written articles by people who are actually *doing* archeology expose kids to fascinating subjects month after month. Activities, photos, and maps keep each issue visually interesting. Megaliths, Bog People, and Disasters are just a few of the themes Dig explores. This is a great magazine for curious, bright, and clever kids who want to know more about Dig-ging stuff up!

I wish this magazine had been around when I was a kid. One might think an archaeology magazine would be a little boring... but that's not the case at all! One of my favorite issues of the magazine is called "Disaster!" (February 2007). It explores how archaeologists worked at Ground Zero after Sept. 11 and in New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina--pretty fascinating stuff.

There are lots of high-quality photos, and sidebars and boxes add even more information than the well-written articles already provide. This magazine is worth getting for any child who has any curiosity about the world around him or her.

My elementary age kids are just beginning to understand the larger scope of the world and human history. While in the process of looking for good magazines about current events I came across Dig. I signed up for a subscription in hopes that it would help my kids get that better understanding of the world. We've been quite pleased with it.

In that process of looking for good kids magazines we tried out a bunch of them, and got subscriptions to most. Here's my quick quick rundown

Kids Discover: heavy on pictures, light on words. The articles tend to be little snippets and factoids without context or much explanation.

National Geographic Kids: heavy on the pictures, light on the words. Articles are a bit more in depth than Kids Discover.

Time for Kids: Thin and a bit flimsy, but comes frequently (every two weeks?) and covers major current events pretty well. Different versions are available for different ages. Order it from the Time for Kids web site since Amazon doesn't seem to carry it.

Ask and Muse: In depth interesting articles addressing all sorts of thoughtful topics. Probably best for middle school and/or more thoughtful kids.

Dig: In depth interesting articles addressing history under the guise of archeology. Probably best for late elementary and middle school, and/or more thoughtful kids.

I ordered DIG for my 11 y/o son last year through his magazine drive at school. He LOVES it and so do I! He wants to be a paleontologist and this magazine is perfect for his dinosaur/history passion. Very interesting and informative magazine. I highly recommend it to those who have children interested in science.

Sand Sports

Sand SportsThis magazine fills the void for all of us sand lovers! Lots of detailed articles, the ads are products that matter to the sand sport world, its just a great magazine overall for sand sport enthusiasts.

I had ordered this as a gift to someone at another address and that worked out perfectly. However, when renewal time came I agreed to renew and all of a sudden the magazine is being delivered to my house. I unfortunately can't figure out how to fix this. So, be cautious when doing a renewal thru amazon.

Montana Outdoors

Montana OutdoorsI have sent gift subscriptions of this magazine. The articles cover hunting, fishing, parks and conservation. The photos of the great state of Montana are outstanding. Anyone loving the outdoors would appreciate this magazine.

I have been a avid fan of Montana Outdoors for many years now and I have to say that the quality of the work put into this magazine is by far the best I have seen in a magazine about the outdoors. The pictures alone are worth spending hours on as the reader must decide whether to look at the photos or read the articles; every bit of this magazine is worth a fortune. AND, the cost is very low....so much so that I have a neverending subscription!
