I am a fan of the magazine and think it's one of the best news/current affairs publications out there. However... my wife and I received a subscription as a wedding gift. It took a more than 4 months to finally get activated. In that time, no one at the economist would help me ('talk to Amazon'), and no one at Amazon would help me - first, I had to get the friend who bought it for us to talk to them, which was a hassle. Second, they told him that everything was fine and that (guess what?) he'd have to chase it up with the economist. Finally the subscription did surface and the magazines started arriving... like many people, we'd moved after the wedding. It took me several phone calls, emails, and attempts to use the online database (and another two months) ... Read More

2.Foreign Policy from: Foreign Policy
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $29.70 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $19.95 You Save: $9.75 (33%) Prices subject to change.
This magazine tries to be a sexier version of Foreign Affairs but instead comes across as her dumber, louder, and more ideological sister. Largely reporting on the foreign policy opinions, positions, and prejudices of the American center-left, this is not the place to see balanced and deep treatment of complicated foreign policy matters. Instead you find it filled with sound bite facts, huge two page spreads of unimportant statistics and surveys, and a few short works that give you serious foreign policy analysis. However, it is this last bunch that motivates me to subscribe to these magazines, and they aren't as good, long, or varied as they are in Foreign Affairs. Nevertheless, these few articles are typically decent, and the "Think Again" section usually has a piece ... Read More

I enjoy the balance of hard news, stories, and arts that the New Yorker provides.

4.Newsweek from: Newsweek, Inc. November 23, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $205.40 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $20.00 You Save: $185.40 (90%) Prices subject to change.
Newsweek is a satisfactory source of information of current events. However, the agency that Amazon uses to handle the subscriptions made errors on my order and was unresponsive to my attempts to reach them to correct it. I will not use Amazon again to subscribe to magazines.

5.TIME (1-year) from: The Time Inc. Magazine Company November 23, 2001

6.Scientific American from: Scientific American November 23, 2001
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: $59.40 Off The Bookshelf's Price: $24.97 You Save: $34.43 (58%) Prices subject to change.
Scientific American is a monthly magazine written to anyone comfortable with the scientific lingo on any of a wide range of research subjects. It shows what's going on at the forefront of science breakthroughs and what they could mean in the marketplace when completed.It offers a periscope view of these topics written by the people doing the research, in as clear and communicative a way as can be. Every issue boggles the mind, is actually an understatement.

7.National Geographic from: National Geographic Society November 23, 2001

I have been a subscriber to National Geographic since mid 1990s when I was back in Iran. I remember receiving this good magazine with pictures being marked or censored by postal authorities in Islamic Iran yet I loved it. However, this magazine has really lost its once proud tradition of presenting fair and true scientific contents and has replaced it with some liberal agenda driven stuff like promoting nonsense like global warming, world peace and getting anti-U.S rhetoric/politics involved when writing about other nations like their past issue that was dedicated to Iran. All in all, this magazine is good in terms of first rate photographies. 3/5

I'm sure this is more for the tech minded; but, there's still enough in it for the rest of us. If you have time and enjoy spending it thumbing thru magazines, this one is certainly entertaining. The ads are sleek, the men are handsome and there's tidbits of info for everyone.

Even though I was told to expect to wait 6 - 8 weeks for my subscription to begin, I received two issues within a month. The price was excellent.

10.Smithsonian from: Smithsonian November 23, 2001

This is the only magazine that I receive that I read cover to cover, then bring to school for my students to read. The articles are short enough to hold your attention but long enough to tell you what you need to know. In every issue there are several articles that are fantastic and the rest are very good, more than you can say for the average magazine!
