Dialogue - a Journal of Mormon Thought

Dialogue - a Journal of Mormon ThoughtFor forty years Dialogue a Journal of Mormon Thought has been a voice for Mormon students, poets, and scholars examining the interplay of the secular world with Christian and Mormon theology and history. I am a charter subscriber to Dialogue and have been entertained, taught, instructed, insulted and inspired by a broad range of concerned, informed, creative and thoughtful voices. Reading Dialogue is worthwhile for faithful Latter-day Saints, for persons wishing to know about Mormonism and for scholars interested in comparative American religions. I heartily recommend the journal to any thoughtful inquirer.

Val Hemming, M.D.

This is the premier scholarly journal in Mormon Studies. It is owned and edited entirely independently of Mormon Church control, but its contents are balanced and scholarly and never attack the church or its leaders. As a professor in religious studies, I have often used this journal for assigned readings to my students. It is the best, and almost the only, source of independently published articles on Mormon history, doctrine, and contemporary issues (as well as short stories and poetry!).

Buy Dialogue - a Journal of Mormon Thought Now

I like each of the three main Mormon studies journals (Journal of Mormon History, BYU Studies are the other two), and Dialogue is my favorite (I regularly read all three). The academic articles are double-blind peer-reviewed, and I find them consistently interesting and occasionally challenging. I enjoy the art, fiction and personal essay sections, and sometimes even like a poem or two. Part of Dialogue's value comes from its status as an independent journal. Though it doesn't appear to seek controversy (and sometimes, IMHO, seems to try too hard to avoid it), when dealing with controversial socio-theo-political issues, the Journal tries to seek out multiple sides of an issue. Dialogue publishes a fair number of articles on Mormon history, but those if you are interested in purely the history side of Mormon Studies, the Journal of Mormon History would be the first thing to subscribe to.

It is hard to imagine where Mormon studies would be without Dialogue's continuous presence over the past forty years. Some of the most important pieces regarding Mormon history, theology, politics, philosophy, science, and the arts have appeared in Dialogue. Its autonomy from church control affords it free range to discuss important but controversial issues that in-house publications may shy away from, but the integrity of its editorial team and reviewers prevent it from being a clearinghouse for malcontents. On the whole, the journal could probably use a few more "conservative" voices for the sake of true "dialogue," but this seems to be an issue of the nature of submissions rather than active censorship or a preconceived agenda. The primary target audience consists of "thoughtful Mormons" (however one defines that), but it is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Mormon issues, and many of the contents deal with religious issues more broadly. It is not a "popular" journal, and will generally appeal to those of a more "intellectual" bent, but it is neither elitist nor explicitly aimed at academics. In short, Dialogue has consistently been at the forefront of Mormon studies and is well positioned to remain there for many years to come.

If this journal were honest, it would not try to pretend to be a journal of Latter-day Saint scholarship. It is not. Rather, it is merely a voice for self-styled "Mormon Liberals." I personally have no regard for anything that comes from the minds of Mormon Liberals, no matter how annotated their narratives are, or how sophisticated their constructs. How can a faithful Latter-day Saint have any affection for a journal that publishes pieces from known apostates, and expose's of the sacred temple endowment? Mormon Liberals demand that everything must square with their intellect. Their intellect is their god, and Mormonism their hobby. Attend one of their symposia and try to breath the air; it is thick with the arrogance of the intellectual elite--the "best and the brightest."

Black Belt (1-year auto-renewal)

Black BeltThere are way too many ads compared to the amount of content in this magazine. I fully expect every other page of a magazine to be an ad, but in this magazine, you have maybe half a page of content for every three pages of ads (and that may actually overestimate the amount of content).

I have been somewhat pleased with a few of the technique-related articles, but that is generally one short article each month. The rest of it, I could do well enough without. I will not be renewing my subscription.

Black Belt is the absolute worst martial arts magazine on the market. It used to be the best back in the 80's and 90's, but now the publisher tries to make it a mix of some type of MMA rag and Soldier Of Fortune. The combination doesn't work and leaves out the core reader: traditional martial artists. The MMA puff pieces are a joke. Combine that with the fact that the "magazine" consists of about 90% ads and 10% articles, and it's only a matter of time before BB goes the way of General Motors. According to Kenpo karate legend Al Tracy, Black Belt magazine circulation is only about 1/5th of what it was 10 years ago. After browsing through the past few issues at bookstores, I can understand why.

If you're looking for a decent martial arts magazine, I'd recommend either Inside Kung Fu, Action Martial Arts (only publish 4 issues per year though), Classical Fighting Arts, Kung Fu Tai Chi, or Martial Arts Masters.

Paid for on Feb 8th, just found out first issue will not be shipped until April 27th. However, it has been paid for since Feb.

This is the second time I have attempted to subscribe to Black Belt Magazine. Last time it was over four months before first issue was shipped and we were told "this is your last issue!" It was our FIRST issue. They double billed us for it and told us we could not cancel our order. I am hoping that when we finally receive this one that we actually get them.

High Times

High TimesNo other magazine has been spreading the word as long as this one has in the face of a government sponsored terrorist movement.

Prohibition has never worked and never will.

## People will look back in a 100 years and wonder why people allowed the truth about marijuana be allowed to be denied for so long. ##

If you want to learn how to grow pot buy some of the books that are advertised in this magazine.

If you want to stay up to date on the latest grow tactics then buy it.

** Face it, would you rather face a bunch of drunks in an alley or a bunch of pot heads stoned? **

When you consider how Washington and Jefferson used to write to each other and talk about various pot plants you wonder how it all went so wrong. Lincoln, Clinton and Obama have smoked pot. Kennedy also. So why it is still illegal is amazing. Our government just doesn't want to admit it was wrong.

The history of how Franklin Roosevelt made it illegal to help out the DuPont tree/paper industry is interesting.

But all in all, no other magazine has stood up to our government when it comes to your right to choose how to live your life as much as this one.

....publications such as these are essential. The growing tips, pictures, articles, everything....are professional, timely, and educational. I don't use, I don't grow, but I have patients who HAVE to have medical marijuana and the information is priceless. Enjoy!

Buy High Times Now

I love to give magazines as a gift, because it's the gift that keeps giving all year long. I searched far and wide for a subscription to High Times for my step-brother. The best deal that I could find by far was here on Amazon.

High Times is a very imformative magazine of a niche genre. There are a lot of advertisements in this magazine, but they're all worth browsing at. Very interesting indeed.

Got my first issue,took about a month,no biggie.By buying it this way you save more then half a issue.Plus the fact they are just getting hard to find in my area.Comes discreetly wrapped.

Want High Times Discount?

If you like pot culture you will like this magazine. I gave it a 4 star rating because it does have a lot of advertisments but its usually for cool glass pipes or papers or stuff like that. I have bought some of the other cannabis magazines and some are better then hightimes but hightimes does have good articles on how to grow and keeps you up to date on the latest methods and styles of growing.

With the legalization in colorado and washington i can see this magazine getting more and more popular. At this price on Amazon you cant go wrong. I think this magazine is deffently worth a buy

Interview Magazine

Interview MagazineI know "Interview" has been around awhile, but I just recently got into it. In short, if you're into the arts, it's your magazine. It touches on music, movies, fashion, and everything inbetween. And often the interviews of celebrities are done by other celebs, like "Jim Jarmusch" doing a Q&A with "The White Stripes", just like they're sitting in a room chatting, very casual. I like that. Also the photography is tops, and often takes up the whole page (good mini-posters). They're good about not exposing the same old people too, lots of fresh faces, usually cool. Hey, if it's good enough for "Andy Warhol", it can't be bad, huh?

Interview is a small magazine with big ambitions. All the latest news in entertainment, fashion, and politics can be found within it's colorful pages. The photography is amazing, and grand in scale, although the magazine is packed full of ads (which are equally as colorful I might add). This is NOT entertainment weeklyInterview is the indi-film of magazines, and the people and films it covers are not usually those found in typical magazines. Instead of focusing on the actor du jour, Interview covers the up & coming, the soon to be, and the undiscovered. The interview formats are fascenating and unique, as most are done by celebrities, of celebrities. If one is looking for typical hollywood gossip, Warhol's masterpiece is not for them. At such a cheap price, Interview is a gem that is yet undiscovered by many. I highly recommend it!

Buy Interview Magazine Now

Interview has been hit with a number of production problems over the last couple of years. The dual editors Glenn O'Brien and Fabien Baron coulnd't agree on content so Baron leaves in January of 09. Art directors M/M Paris come in for three issues but leave when they aren't paid. O'Brienn leaves in the summer of '09 and Baron comes back. The result? Well, the magazine never comes on time (up to 2 Months late, if at all!) There is also a lot of doubling up the months, instead of October and November issues there is one October/November issue combo, same with December and January.

And this is written on February 7, and still no February issue of the magazine has been mailed.

So subscribe at your own risk, because who knows if Interview is going to be around long enough to fulfill your subscription. And at $6 an issue, it is really not worth buying it on the newsstand.

And to update, it is now March 15 and I have received no February issue OR March issue.

Here is Interview's response:

"We regret to inform you that our February issue will be delivered late

due to production delays.

Please allow until March 10, 2010 for delivery of this issue.

We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused.

Second Update: May 2nd

No February Issue. No March Issue. No April Issue. No May issue.

Called up Interview and cancelled my subscription and demanded a full refund for services not rendered.

FINAL UPDATE: I asked for a complete refund and GOT IT! They are a lot faster mailing out their refund checks than their magazine!!!!!

So again, do not waste your money on a subscription to Interviewyou will not be mailed any magazines.

OK. For those of you who continue to believe that New York is the center of the United States, Hell, the world, who forgot the map CNN kept flashing with the two different colors after the election that MIGHT infer there are several schools of thought about the polycentric views of the US, for those of you who can take a little criticism from the midwest, the dark states, middle earth, the Elba of the 21st century, you're not.

There's a whole world out here. People have jobs. Yes, it's true. We work, send our kids to school, even go to church on Sundays. And on other days too. We vote. Oh, yeah, you already know that.

So having an interview with an actor who goes on about how he meditates, is a vegan and thinks about trees and birds when he has a particularly stressful scene with Ashley or Uma or Diane, you know, it just doesn't carry a lot of weight with the serfs. But . . . .

It's a great magazine. Andy lives. Photography is tight and realistic. The ads are sexy and provocative. The sidebars interesting and insightful. It's wordly. It covers music as well as RS. It's (don't get all riled up now) a fun magazine to read.

However, the interviews which we are led to believe are the heart and soul of the magazine, seem to be along the lines of 'damn, it's so good to be me and I guess you're OK too.' Or, 'I see you're wearing a $15,000 Versace with a plunging neckline and . . . you've selected old, black, Converse All Stars to wear with it! How Noveau! How tasteful!'

Come on. Where's the bite? Where's the interview with Alex Rodriguez that says 'how come you went to therapy . . . it's only New York?' or with Marv Alpert 'hey what's on your fashion agenda now?'

Chris Berman from ESPN says he was on Maui a couple of years back and he was walking with his kids one dawn and he ran into Steven Stills with his kids. Now that's a conversation I would have liked to hear, not one that ends up with me thinking the two parties to the conversation (it sure isn't an interview see Columbia University's Interviewing 101 in their School of Journalism) are off to pick out furniture.

It's New York. Show your teeth. Flex. 5 stars. Larry Scantlebury

Interview is one of my favorite magazines. The interviews are always good. I think that the interviews are more candid since it's done by peers. I also think that the photo shoots in the Interview are some of the best around.

Cucina Italiana - Italian Edition

Cucina Italiana - Italian EditionI discovered this magazine several years after leaving Italy and have purchased and saved each issues since July 1995. The Italian version (there is also an English language one) is full of classic and original recipes that show the evolution of Italian cuisine and the possible introduction of spices and flavors that are more international. You will not find spaghetti with meatballs here, but innovative dishes and regional flavors. I especially like the cooking school section which each month illustrates and details the basic techniques needed in the kitchen. Over the years I have looked at other magazines but none has come even close to this.

AudioFile

AudioFileAs someone who loves to read, and finds it increasingly difficult to find time to do so in a time crunched world, I rely on Audiofile magazine to point me in the direction of what will provide a great listening experience.It provides reviews which I find are very accurate and illuminating. Through the magazine I have been guided to many authors, narrators and subjects that I might previously have been unaware of, or overlooked.The review section covers several different categories of book in every issue, describing content, and highlighting excellence.Sometimes the authors of a book will be interviewed with the review of a narrators work side by side. This I find fascinating.

The articles give an insider look at an ever changing industry, and "connect up the dots" of this fascinating, mysterious world by discussing anything and everything that is audiobook related.

Audiofile is the only place I can count on to recieve accurate information about this growing and rapidly changing industry, that remains largely unsung elsewhere. It is a highlight when I recieve the latest copy, go through it and plan what I am going to listen to next.It has led me to many works I might never have considerd and helps me follow my favorite narrators, audio related events etc.Whether you are an everyday listener or an industry professional,AudioFile is a lifeline! Life would be a lot duller without this irreplaceable guide.

I can hardly wait for my next copy to come. I look forward to the magazine more than any other magazine I get and read every word in it. I save them for years and go back to them as they have relevance years back when new books come out. They give me pleasure with every read. Even though I can read them on the computer I just love having them around the house so I can pick one up and see what was around months ago or years ago. I'm a real fan. I can't say enough. I've given them as gifts to all of my friends that join audible. I buy books I might not have noticed without reading about it in audiofile. Thank you, thank you, thank you. What more can I say. Keep them coming.

For lovers of audiobooks, Audiofile Magazine performs a valuable service. While I read book reviews from many sources, Audiofile Magazine is the only reviewing service I've found that provides feedback on the quality of the listening experience. Highly recommended.

I admit it; I'm addicted ... not to the heavy stuff, but instead head-over-heels in love with audiobooks. And they have found a friend in AudioFile, a truly wonderful magazine that informs addicts like me about the latest trends, equipment, books to hit the market. The down is that it's only published every other month. I voraciously read it both on line and the "hardcover" edition that arrives in my mailbox. Some other reviewer complains that the reviews are nothing more than recaps. While they are short and to the point, I disagree about the contents of the reviews. They're exactly what I'm looking for: an overview of the book, not an in-detail New York TImes type review. If I want to learn more I then check with Amazon to see what others feel. While I still purchase and read print books (they'll never go out of style!), I have found audiobooks a great alternative to curling up with Agatha Christie. And, hopefully, AudioFile, along with my newfound addiction to audiobooks, will continue to prosper and grow. It's good to be in on the ground floor!

Want AudioFile Discount?

For lovers of audio books, this is a must have magazine. The reviews are thorough and interesting. I have seldom found I review that has not been helpful. f I enjoy the articles and even the ads. The magazine has a service whereby they send you, via email, upcoming reviews. I am a knitter, handspinner and weaver and audio books are my constant companion. It is important to me to have a source of reviews. There is nothing like renting or buying and audio book and not liking it. I highly recommend this magazine.

International Artist

International ArtistEach issue of this 'magazine' is full of exquisite art, displayed in amazing color. From beginning to end, it is a feast for the eyes. If that were all International Artist contained, it would still be a treasure, but each issue also has numerous demonstrations by some of the finest artists in the world. I have read all of the usual artist magazines and have subscribed to several but I haven't seen this quality of art or art technique articles in any of them. It really is astonishing. As I read each issue I wonder if they can possibly maintain the content quality, but each new issue seems to surpass the last. My only regret is that the magazine comes out only six times a year. But it is well worth waiting for. If you are an artist, don't miss this. If you simply enjoy fine artwork, I think you will be equally impressed.

By the way, this publisher also has a line of art instruction books that are some of the finest I have seen. You can find them on Amazon as well as at the publishers web site. I have four right now, and have my sights on several more.

Internanatial Artists magazine is the best magazine on the shelf bar none. I've read many other artist magazines time and time again, but haven't found anything that compares to this jewel. It provides great illustrations as well as wonderful perspectives that are enjoyable as well as inspiring for your reading pleasure. Not only does it inform, it also provides technical and creative details and images in various media for most artist needs in bold beatiful color. This is a truly a winner!

I think that International Artist is the best art magazine on the market. It is always full of beautiful and inspiring paintings and consistently provides articles about a variety of mediums. International Artist also publishes some of the best art instruction books on the market.

This is my favorite artist magazine and has been for some time. I much prefer it to Artist, if only for covering so many media each issue. Admittedly, it is not the best option for the beginner, although some of the books published by International Artist are good for novices or those picking up a new medium. And, like any magazine I've ever read, some issues are better than others. The reproductions are of a consistently high standard.

Want International Artist Discount?

I used to be a subscriber and relished the one or two exciting articles each month from experimental artists (like Mary Ann Beckwith, Ann Davidson, etc.). Yes, the rest of the art was too realistic, but at least there was usually one good gem each issue.

Unfortunately, over the past couple of years they have gotten lazy. Instead of searching for cutting-edge artists doing exciting work, they've abdicated their role to fillers from the Portrait Society of Boring Paintings, a columnist who only wants to sell you stuff on his website, and pages and pages of ads for DVDs and books that should be on their website. And can anyone can tell one Harley Brown pastel portrait from another? Repetition is one thing, but an editor's job is to know when a column has run its course and get in some fresh blood. Maybe the editorial staff need some fresh blood?

If I sound annoyed, it's because IA used to be a smashing magazine. I still have the first 50 or so back issues and have bookmarked many a feature from the good old days when the editors had more eclectic taste.

But if you like realism, portraits, and so on, you'll probably enjoy this magazine. (Thank goodness Artist magazine is featuring more abstract and experimental work this past year.)
