NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAY 2012 - EYEWITNESS TO THE CIVIL WAR

Description: The 146-page May 2012 issue of this magazine is available and as always, it does not disappoint. The topics covered by this magazine are as appropriate today as they were when it was published. The cover story is titled: Eyewitness to the Civil War - In the 1860s combat artists captured battlefield drama. Today reenactors reimagine the conflict. Other featured articles include: The Calm Before the Wave, by Tim Folger. A tsunami strikes almost every year. When and where will the next giant wave hit? A Showboating Bird - To woo a mate, a male manakin might make music with its wings...or do the moonwalk.

Iceland's Resilient Beauty - Icelanders and sheep have taken a toll, but the volcanic-glacial landscape is still astonishing.

This magazine has been read but is in fantastic shape. If you were to purchase a back issue through the National Geographic Society, it would cost $7.00 with U.S. delivery. I have a number of back issues of National Geographic from various years. If you are looking for a specific issue, please let me know. I supply shipping discounts to multiple purchases. Due to changes in USPS policy and a recent postage rate increase, I have had to raise my shipping costs. I ship my items through the U.S. Post Office. Lately, a few of my customers have experienced some delays in receiving their items. Please be patient with the Post Office.
