National Geographic August issue, another exciting issue. I believe Nat Geo magazines are the second most perfect thing to let kids read(after Tintin, of course). It helps them understand the scale of human civilization. Thats exactly what happened to me when I was knee-high.
This issue talks about Bahamian blue holes, of whose existance I was incognizant. The tri-country railroad in the caucasus that will link Far East Europe to the rest of the European Union, Rhinos of Kaziranga were run-of-the-mill Nat Geo articles. That is not a negative connotation, mind you.
As usual articles are crisp and to the point, yet succeed in providing a snippet of lives in these dioramas.
Also featured are Egyptian whales, one of the stronger pieces of evidence that undermine intelligent design as a means of explaining whale evolution.
Reminds me to read the Selfish Gene soon, I bought it about 3 years ago, still havent read it!
