It is an excellent source of cultural and scientific knowledge presented in impeccable form. But I noticed that a majority of the articles covered ground that I'd read about up to a year earlier in Scientific American (in more detail), or about 3 months earlier in Smithsonian (with comparable presentation). With only so many hours available to read, I stopped subscribing to National Geographic. Anything important that I may have missed would show up on TV in another month or so, anyway.
