A very, very invigorating magazine..
I am a IT prof. Thus, I subscribed to this mag.; only with the perspective to gain a "little" insight into the working of the brain, instead of having to go through tons of myraid med. literature. What I was pleasantly surprised with and I really mean it - is this editorial board's ability to present even day-to-day matter which even "might" concern some neural science in such a lovely and beautiful manner; that even my wife (who's just a plain house-wife) loves to read. The subject matter discussed IN NO WAY can be considered to be MEDICAL, but rather a CRITICAL APPRECIATION AND DISCUSSION of every-day issues and stuff we notice around each each day. The amount of advertisement is bare minimum ; quality of print is excellent ; the writings are terrific. ONE OF THE BEST MAGAZINES TO HAVE on SHELF. (Proof - my sister's 16-yr. old came to visit me. She's BUILT on video-games, Skype/AOL chat and MS Civilization III. She opened this mag., started to read it and finished the 4 issues I had till midnight!)

Mind Engaging
This is my favorite magazine about the mind, particularly with respect to consciousness. It's like a meeting of the minds (no pun intended) between spiritual phenomena and scientific discovery. The articles are seriously interesting and always have a new twist. I do wish it was printed more frequently however it is worth the wait for each issue.

My favorite magazine
This is the best magazine I've read lately.It is still new, and I've only received 4 issues, but read each cover to cover, finding each article fascinating, and very accessible (unlike the parent publication, which is occasionally over my head.)It may be just because I like the subject matter - but it seems to me these are subjects which would interest most people.Some recent articles (as of Oct. 2005) included why we lie, the meaning of dreams, the nature of consciousness, what causes creativitity, what is deja vu.It is one subscription which is well worth the money.The only drawback I've found is that it is quarterly - sometimes it seems like a long wait between issues. ...

Great Reference Material
Communication Arts is great. It provides ideas, insight, and shows what's going on in the media world as we know it.

Amazon gave publisher wrong address, did not receive
This is not a rating of the magazine - just a warning to check your Wish List address if you "wish" for magazines.
The only magazine that I keep back copies of!
As a professional graphic designer and illustrator, I read a lot of the trade magazines, but Communication Arts is the only one I keep back copies of. I have had a subscription to this magazine since my art school days and I still look forward to receiving it in the mail. The magazine is beautifully designed with clean type and the feature articles are always interesting. It is well worth the cost of subscription. Just get it! You won't be sorry. ... Read more

The best magazine out there for people in creative environments
I am not an artist, but I work with creatives. In my job as a Product Manager, I am exposed to web design, interactive design and graphic design every day. Reading through the great articles Computer Arts offers every month allows me do a better job as a manager with my product and helps me give my team better direction when it comes to creative decisions.
Great magazine.
For the passionate web designer, this is the best magazine out there.Each issue comes with a cd and is packed with useful information.This cost seems a little high - about $70 more than the on the Computer Arts site (after the currency conversion).You can't go wrong when purchasing this magazine.

great tutorials, and a great read every month
This is one of my favorite reads as far as digital arts from the UK, well written the tutorials are the off the hook and they always give you a cd with software to use. And as a graphic artist this is a book you learn by doing which i think is the best way to learn. ... Read more

Zoobooks
My 6 year old son loved this magazine. His eyes would light up whenever the magazine would arrive in the mail. The colorful photographs and fun facts about lots of types of animals made the magazine fun to read for both he and I.

Zoobooks is the Encyclopedia of Animals
An easy to read format for the budding animal enthusiast with activities for subscribers online and inside the middle section of the magazine.
A treasure to keep
I hope this magazine hasn't changed from when I got it as a child 20 years or so ago, because I dearly loved it then.It's not so much a magazine, with different articles and recurring features, as a vividly illustrated report on a different group of animals each month. (I wore out the binding on my "Alligators and Crocodiles" issue.) The beautiful drawings are both fun to look at and packed with information -- when I was taking biology courses in college I realized my old Zoobooks spreads of, say, "all the parrots of the world" had given me an intuitive grasp of comparative adaptation without my realizing I was learning anything.Be warned -- if you get this for your child, you may have to listen to all of the things she has learned about monkeys for months at a time! ...

Not worth it for a Marine Fishkeeper
First the positive.This magazine is well laid-out and has good photography for the most part.The articles are informative.There are enough reviews on here extolling the virtues of this magazine, so let me tell you the downside.
The Definitive Aquarium Hobby Magazine
I have been reading TFH for about thirty years, and it is by far the most comprehensive magazine resource for the advanced hobbyist.It costs a little more than the others, but it attracts the best authors and the photography is stunning. The editors take a more scientific slant than that offered in the two other popular Aquarium magazines, and though I subscribe to all three, TFH captures most of my attention. If you are a serious aquarium keeper, or want to become one, you have to check out this fine magazine.

Great magazine
This magazine is no doubt the best aquarium magazine in the world.not only does it have clear and understandable information for the beggining and advanced hobbyist, but it's articles cover brand new things, aquarium news, fish profiles, that no other can match.For this reason, i humbly reccomend tropical fish hobbyist. ...

Not just a Magazine. It's a tradition!
Sky & Telescope has been with us in its present form since 1941.It is part of the history and the fabric of amateur astronomy and, in my opinion, it is better than ever.We are privileged to be living in a golden age of astronomical discovery and you can share in this great adventure.Subscribe to Sky & Telescope and you become more than just an observer, you become a participant.

Good magazine
Since I was 5 I always had an interest for astronomy. I started reading books about astronomywhen I was 8. Last year on my birthday, My dad got me a this subscription to sky and telescope. I have also glanced through Astronomy, and have done the best to my abilities to write the pro's and cons
A good and ambitious magazine
A magnificent magazine full of breathtaking photos and quality articles. Offers great advice for the hobbyiest. Not only does it keep one abreast of space science I think EVERYONE will find ithighly inspirational.The articles that take on more technical topics in astronomy and Cosmology sometimes leave one wanting but those wanting more accurate and detailed information on these topics are guided by the magazine to other sources. The magazine walks a tightrope and more often than not it is successful.

"lost its compost" for a while but slowly getting back to nature
Somehow, the Mother became more like something else... Sunset? I dunno, but it really lost its way from the down-to-earth, get-down-in-the-dirt, raise-chickens-in-your-backyard-&-fertilize-with-the-rest viewpoint.

Finest Popular Magazine on Natural History
"Natural History" is the official popular journal published by the American Museum of Natural History, the oldest - and largest - museum of natural history in the Western Hemisphere and without question, one of the world's greatest museums. In its pages it has featured brilliant essays by the likes of Roy Chapman Andrews, Margaret Mead, and Stephen Jay Gould, to name but a few of the many eminent scientists - both museum staff and outsiders - who have contributed superb articles on natural history to this magazine. It has retained an emphasis on scientific discovery, publishing articles pertaining to ecology and other aspects of evolutionary biology (including paleobiology), geology, astrophysics, archaeology and anthropology. Recent issues have included brief articles on biomechanics of various living organisms, those pertaining to recent and current exhibitions such as the Petra exhibition on display at the museum from the Fall of 2003 to early Summer 2004, and current ecological and anthropological research. Current museum scientists, most notably Neil deGrasse Tyson, the director of the Hayden Planetarium, often report in these pages on their ongoing research as well as on issues of a more general nature that might interest a scientifically-literate public. And to its credit, it has not shied away from controversy, publishing for example, an issue on so-called "Intelligent Design", which is seen by its adherents as a competing scientific alternative to evolution via Natural Selection, but lacks any scientific credibility from professional scientists, science educators and like-minded members of the general public.

my oppinion
i enjoyed the magizine. it was also helpful in school.i learnt a lot from reading it

Thorough Descriptions of Growers, Winemakers and Wines
After reading a neighbor's Wine Advocate while catsitting, I decided to subscribe (to the electronic version eRobertParker).What I like about the reviews is actually not the numerical ratings, or even Parker's adjectives, but his incredibly detailed notes on the grape blends involved, vineyards, producers and winemaking. For example, here's a review of one of my favorite wines taken from the April 2004 Wine Advocate, which is fairly typical of a Parker review:
The best publication in its class, but not perfect
Of the two major wine magazines, Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate, I have to say that Wine Advocate is my preferred source for finding a truly exceptional wine to enjoy. Wine Advocate is primarily the work of the noted wine critic Robert Parker, who is sometimes accused of being one of the leading "wine snobs" in the industry. Although Parker does use some pretentious lingo and some obscure references in his tasting notes, I find his tasting descriptions generally more accurate than those of the critics of Wine Spectator. Sure, he dislikes Burgundy, but at least now he has hired a more than competent fellow critic (Pierre Rovani) to cover that region for him.
An Invaluable Source of Wine Information
Parker is the leading consumer analyst for the wine industry.Anyone serious about wine should subscribe to the Wine Advocate.However, I'd be doing an injustice as a reviewer if I didn't mention that you can purchase it online via Parker's eRobertParker website for only $60/year. ... Read more

No Bull, no sissy GQ type workout, no Girly men
Sorry, if you are looking for fitness models, look at mens fitness or the "new" format of Muscle and Fitness "the GQ of Fitness magazines".
Straight talk without the politics
I first started reading MD in 2003 while deployed in support of OIF 1 in Kuwait. I have to admit that my reason for choosing it over Flex, was that MD used to have the fitness girl pictorials (damn I wish that they would bring them back!). Anyhow, I also read Flex every month, but the thing that puts MD on top, is that readers get the word directly from the athletes. In the other mags, it seems that the athletes' words get "edited" prior to the issue going to print. If I want to know who won the latest contest and how they got into shape, MD covers it. On the other hand if I want to know what the lifetstyle outside the gym is like for an athlete, MD covers it. From Victor Martinez's time in jail to Dexter Jackson's family sacrifices enroute to becoming a star, to Lee Preist's staight up comments about the Olympia (though he had to make an appology later to the commision), MD covers it all. The thing that I respect the most about MD though, is that it pulls no puncheas in giving the real scoop on steroids. Not lony does the magazine discuss the negatives of using "gear", but it also talks about the positve side of steroid use for some people, along with comments from some athletes who will admit to using at one time or another. You WILL NOT find that in any other fitness magazine. Take all that and combine it with great photography and you got yourself a heck of a fitness magazine!

This is a top muscle magazine
I'm subscribed to several bodybuilding magazines, and this one, along with FLEX, are the best magazines that I've found to date.The small writeups in the front parts of the magazine are very informative and there are useful articles instead of junk everywhere like magazines such as MuscleMag. ...

Love this Creation Science Magazine for kids!
It is very difficult to find magazines that teach a Creation view. This is an excellently done magazine. My kids love it! Ages 3-12

Nature Friend Magazine- Great Zine for Christian Kids
I really like this magazine.I just received our first copy yesterday and am looking forward to future issues.This magazine was recommended to me through my Catholic homeschool curriculum provider as a supplement to the science lessons.What I really appreciate about it is that there are no advertisements included in it.I find it interesting to note that the readers of this 'zine seem to be as young as 7 or 8 and go up to age 14 or so.So, I know that I can use it with my sons for many years to come.

My daughter loves this magazine!
Nature Friend is an incredible magazine!It is difficult for fundamental Christians to find periodical materials for children that uphold our beliefs.Nature Friend does just that.It is a Creationist magazine with plenty of scientific information about nature, written for a child's level of understanding.My daughter especially loves all the input from children her age, such as letters to the editor, drawings that children have submitted, and articles and poems written by children.There are plenty of activities in each issue as well.Both my daughter and I love the "how to draw ____" page! ...

Re-discovered
I was getting this magazine up untill 5 yrs ago when I started travel nursing. I settled down again with a new home and garden and hoped I would get a circular in the mail as I could not remember the name of the magazine, but it took the internet to find it. I loved it because it was about everyday people with the kind of stories, tips etc. that I could relate to. Not all huge mansions with acres and acres of land, and people,who like to get out and potter,to make mistakes (and learn from them) and to get out there and enjoy getting their hands dirty, plant seeds and flowers and enjoy the wonders of nature through the birds,insects and other creatures that come to a garden. I would read it from cover to cover and not feel cheated because I have had to pay for a magazine with 75% advertisments. Why should we pay to read adverts? Anyway so glad I have found it again and can't wait for my first issue to arrive. I do hope it has'nt changed.

A FUN birding and flower magazine
I have been a subscriber to Birds & Blooms for over 2 years now.Each issue is loaded with beautiful photographs of different types of birds and a variety of colorful flowers.The magazine is supported heavily by contributions of its readership as many "personal" stories and pictures are published.Each issue typically has one article that focuses on a particular bird (cardinal, chickadee, etc), and then others that discuss butterflies, hummingbirds, flowers, etc.There are 6 issues per year, but they also have Birds & Blooms EXTRA to fill the off months (which I also subscribe to)!Great magazine to read and relax with!

What I Think About Birds & Blooms
I've been subscribing for a long time, and, because of my love of birds, flowers, and butterflies (yes, the magazine does talk a bit of butterflies), I've gotten quite into it, too.I like the mixture:Funny stories, garden and bird tips and how-to's,and MUCH more...

Buyer Beware!
This is an excellent publication, however I suggest that you purchase it online from the Ceramics Mo folks or fill out one of their subscription cards.The price from the Amazon folks is one and a half times more expensive than buying it direct! The yearly subscription rate is $24. TWO YEAR subscription is only $40...just $3.00 more than thru Amazon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sumptuous!
Ceramics Monthly offers articles featuring influential international ceramic artists, sumptuous photographs, and current information on residencies, fellowships and grants. There is a good representational mix of abstract and functional, pottery and sculpture.Read more
