Each month National Geographic publishes news from around the world, giving histories and current status of our world; many of their articles, of course, includes world ports.

National Geographic

If you are world travelers consider picking up National Geographic’s travel edition which highlights 50 places in our world that are amazing to visit. This is a publication favored by many armchair travelers because of its in-depth view of exotic places. Few publications cover the world as well as does National Geographic. Open any issue and be enchanted with the history of our planet through exceptional writing and some of the best photographs in the world. The stories are perfect as background research for any project, they help bring attention to the status of our lands and all of its inhabitants: people, plants, animals, places, things . . .

Their articles help put each city they visit in context with world development; National Geographic’s writers offer in-depth views of today along with developments in each city visited.

A current issue focuses on Scotland’s Hebrides, islands that are both stern and sublime and which have been visited by artists for centuries. These islands are a place most of us will never see, so to have a view of their wind-swept beauty through the pages of National Geographic is priceless.

National Geo also has magazines directed towards children (including very young children — what could be better than baby Pandas on a magazine to get the interest of your children!).
National Geographic offers image collections, the magazine on DVDs and international subscriptions.
National Geographic also publishes in several world languages including Bulgarian, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hungarian, Hebrew, Indonesian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian (as of October 2009), Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil) and Portuguese (Portugal), Romanian, Russian, Serbian, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish.
