Customer Reviews

High quality, as usual

This is a quality piece of work, as are all products by National Geographic. Great articles and fantastic photography.

Bias against Islam

Excellent series of articles which clearly highlights the changing bias against Islam and muslims by the West, in the 20th century.Articles written in in the early 1900s show the insulting attitude of Western writers against Muslims. This attitude changes to mutual respect and understanding in post 1980 articles.These articles show the progress we have made as a nation against racism and discrimination.

Extraordinary timeliness

Powerful photographs that are the trademark of National Geographic in collection of timeless articles over past 90 years in National Geographic Magazine fully shedding important light on this highly relevant subject
