About National Geographic on iPad:
Since 1888, the magazine of the National Geographic Society has brought the world home to millions of readers through brilliantly vivid photographs, illustrated maps and compelling stories that bring natural history, culture, science and the various regions of the globe to life. Each issue of National Geographic is like a beautiful book. This is not just any magazine, and the world has taken note ever since National Geographic began publication. No other magazine explores everything in such depth and in such a fascinating way with journalistic vigor, with articles accompanied by exquisite photography that has the power on its own to tell a story without any words. I grew up with National Geographic, as my parents believed that it would be an influential magazine to have around the house. They were right... NG inspired me and always piqued my interest in learning. There are no limits when it comes to the topics this magazine covers, and I appreciate that National Geographic continues with such strength and intellectual curiosity. I will continue to be a loyal subscriber for years to come.
