Georgia Review

One man's viewpoint: This is a first class journal. Finely made poems often with a sense of heart, not just the head churning and questioning. Highly recommended. Also, for the heart of spirit, check out Stranger by the River by Paul Twitchell.

Business Facilities

Business Facilities is a professional magazine that I have been reading periodically for the past two years. It is a magazine that is dedicated to business relocation and growth, with an emphasis on corporate change and how to make it work.

Most of the pages in Business Facilities are dedicated to the reporting of corporate moves and state/metropolitan area demographics. The articles that talk about corporate expansions and relocations detail a specific company and its decision to make these types of changes. The articles about specific states or cities are basically advertisements. They spotlight a specific place and point out why that particular state/city is a good place for business.

Because the advertising of business climates is so important in this magazine, there are often several states or cities highlighted in each issue and it is common for the main departments to have multiple appearances in each issue. Corporate Moves and Business Reports often have two or three departmental listings in each issue. These articles focus on the state's demographics, available tax incentives, cost of labor, and other important considerations for a company that is considering making a move.

Business Facilities is a good professional magazine overall but it is certainly a magazine with limited appeal. The articles are more direct and, with the exception of the Making the Move department, they are less personal in nature and often include lots of statistics. If you work in management and/or have an interest in business relocation and expansion, then this might make a good choice for your reading pleasure. The articles are direct and to the point, making it s good choice for business minded individuals.

Sports Afield

I love this magazine, if you are looking to eventually go to Africa, AK, or Europe for hunting this is a great magazine without being snooty or making you feel like you will never relate with the article that are written. The one word of advice, as with most magazines there are some great offer to subscribe or renew just keep your eyes open. Many times they will offer buy 1 give a gift for 2/3 off or free (good quality) gifts, or significant discounts...

A high class sports magazine. Great articles and stories. Pictures are stunning. Even the ads are eye catching, I will surely renew.

I wished a was able to find a copy of S.A. before I got a subscription. The S.A. that I knew this is not. The best features of this magazine have been stripped away. I can't wait for my subscription to end, and I just received my first copy. There are much better hunting magazines out there, wish I had the time to list them.

Boston Review

BOSTON REVIEW has slowly built a respected reputation among academics and the general reading public during the past twenty-nine years. Articles and essays in a recent edition covered topics such as the Constitution, an immigration crisis in the European Union and the Patriot Act. The contents also included poetry, fiction, nonfiction reviews, letters and a film review. Among the contributors were Elaine Scarry, Larry Kramer, Michael Standaert, Corey Robin and Barbara Clark Smith.

The journal sees itself as a national forum for political debate and boasts about the fact that it is required reading in a course on cultural criticism and critical argument given by the Brown University English department. It appears to be a moderately left-leaning publication but of course that kind of assessment depends on one's vantage point (I am a registered independent). The periodical is highly readable and you don't have to be an academic to enjoy it.

Readers will change as this new format continues with a more commercial slant than it used to be. Sorry to see this once-exceptional publication slack off and turn more mundane to reach more readers. Dull cliched poems now when once more daring verse was presented. Dissapointing to me especially because I think poetry should be engaged with political and social issues instead of bathtubs or blue eyes, etc. There is so much going on in the world that needs coverage and introspection, and, sadly, Boston Review does not deliver it any more.

Pro Cycling

Good magazine, they cover the sport very well. I would extend my subscription in a heartbeat, but for $100 a year, it's too cost prohibitive.

I don't think they're really set up for subscriptions outside of the UK. At least for U.S. deliveries they aren't. If they want this magazine to do well here, they really should find some solutions to bring down the cost otherwise, it will never fly here in the U.S.

I'm a huge cycling fan and had been looking for a good cycling magazine that focused on Pro-Cycling and chanced upon this mag in an airport in Europe. It was amazing had all the Pro coverage I had been looking for, as well as coverage of road bike equipment that I might be interested in. As in all printed media, especially monthlies, news often outpaces their printing schedule but their interviews etc. remain relevant. Great photography, lay-out and historical articles.

British publishing house so a little GB centric.

New York Times - National Edition

If you are trying to find the perfect gift for one of the intelligent, hard-to-gift persons on your list, a subscription to the New York Times may be a well-received solution.

I had requested a subscription to the New York Times for every occasion (birthday, Christmas, Valentines, etc.) for the past three years, and every year until Christmas 2005, my family and friends disregarded the paper as an odd, if not un-giftable, item to request. Fortunately, my fiance's mother and sister decided to go into a 12-week subscription together. I look forward to Sunday mornings as though each one were a new Christmas. The blue plastic bag in the drive way is a cause for celebration each week-end morning. After the first 12 weeks of the year, I became so accustomed to my week-end ritual of the paper, coffee and Meet the Press that I made room in my own budget to include the price of the subscription.

I prefer the New York Times over other news publications for a very simple reason: it is written to my level and I never feel as though the writers are talking down to me or simplifying the story. I have heard cries of liberal bias concerning this publication, especially the editorials, but when I read this paper, I get the sense that they really want me to know and understand all sides to a story. Few newspapers devote space to complete copies of primary documents (speeches, proposed bills and amendments, etc.) like the New York Times consistently does and this allows me to make up my own opinion on the issues.

News is well researched and balanced, and I especially like their columnists such as Paul Krugman, Thomas Friedman, Bob Herbert, and Maureen Dowd. In addition there is the excellent weekly NYT Book Review, and the occasional scoop eg. the NSA spying flap.

Don't miss the science section published each Tuesday.

The New York Times gives you great stories in depth from around the world. It is the detailed stories and some investigative stories that you can't find anyplace else that are so refreshing to read. Compared to the screaming cable news shows, the news presented in the NYT and WSJ is so much better and more complete that it almost takes your breath away. You will say to yourself "why did I waste my time watching those crazy cable news (really entertainment) shows that are so uninformative?" If most Americans get their news from the TV as I am told they do, then we have dark days ahead. Our society will become less enlightened and less caring.

The New York Times is America's best newspaper. Instead of the short articles found in most newspapers, the Times is full of detailed articles on all subjects -not only news, but science (and the science articles are accurate and don't speak down to the intelligent layman), books, entertainment, and so on. It is also still the paper of record -the place to go to for the text of major speeches, not just the highlights. Finally, it has good, in-depth analysis and feature/guest columnists. If you only read one paper, the Times should be it (though it'll take you twice as long to read as most papers and probably four times as long to read as USA Today).

Most people know whether they want to read the NY Times or not. This is a review of the Kindle edition. Besides the crossword puzzle, the Kindle edition lacks ads (yea!), classifieds and paid death notices (okay by me), political cartoons (tant pis), and many photographs and charts (but not all). While I've tried to find cheaper Kindle alternatives (and they exist), nothing compares to the NY Times for news coverage, especially if you're a resident of New York State and lack a good local newspaper (in print format or on-line). The lack of photos is usually only a problem in the Home, Science, and Style sections when you're trying to make sense of articles that frequently reference them. The inclusion of political cartoons should be fixable (is anyone listening?). I really appreciate being able to skim the tables of contents to each section so that I can do triage and properly plan how much time I can devote to reading the paper each day. I also like being able to easily read an article to completion without having to hunt out its conclusion in another section. One other improvement I'd like to recommend is that the NY Times editors provide readers with a word count for each article, as so many Kindle papers and magazines do, so I can decide if I have the time to read it before beginning my workday or postpone it until I have more time. This seems like an easy fix and something Kindle readers should be able to expect, given the price of the subscription. (The progress bar at the bottom of the Kindle screen, by the way, doesn't monitor the reader's progress through individual articles, but rather through sections of the paper...not very valuable from my perspective.) One other observation--inexplicably sometimes a news article (often an obituary) gets dropped from the Kindle edition. This doesn't seem intentional, but it happens. But all in all, I'm very happy reading the NY Times on my Kindle.

PS, for those who miss the Puzzle, the Kindle does offer some free word games you can download.

Getaway

Getaway has wonderful artices on Southern Africa, focussing on destinations in South Africa. Very good articles on everyhting from luxury bush camps to rough hiking trails. Particularly enjoy readers' comments on places to go and others to avoid. As a South African, I always read it for relevant articles before heading off to explore our beautiful country, from the Kalahari Desert, the world's oldest, to the Game Farms bordering the world famous Kruger Park, Getaway does them justice.

This is a great magazine. I'm primarily an english rider but the articles and training information is great. My favorite part is the conformation where they show you 3 horses and explain why each horse is judged based on conformation criteria. Its really interesting and has helped me understand how the design of a horse truly affects the way they ride.

Gi Jobs

"G.I. Jobs" magazine is a great resource that features various government and private sector websites. I originally found out about this magazine from the Yokosuka, Japan Fleet and Family Support Center (when I was still in the navy and stationed in Japan). This magazine also features military veteran success stories. Additionally, this magazine features listings of military veteran companies and colleges that are friendly to both present active duty military and military veterans (separated and retired). "G.I. Jobs" is tailored to military veterans but it is also good for anyone searching for a magazine resource containing a diverse coverage of career and employment links.
