EXCELLENT CONDITION

You're bidding on another one of our National Geographic magazines. It is in excellent condition. Some of our oldest magazines are unique pieces of collection.

Articles in this magazine are as follows:

• Between Monterey Tides. Monterey Bay, a spectacular crescent in the central California coast, conceals a submarine chasm as vast as the Grand Canyon. Here an upwelling of cool, nutrient-rich water sustains great kelp forests and marine creatures from anemones to sea otters. Rick Gore joins biologists who seek to unlock the mysteries of this intricate ecosystem. Photographs by Jonathan Blair, David Doubilet, and Emory Kristof.
• Athapaskans Along The Yukon. Their ancestors crossed the Bering land bridge to occupy Alaska’s interior: fishing, trapping, and hunting game there for thousands of years. Now Athapaskans find their traditional life-style increasingly challenged by the snowmobile, the oil rig, and the commercial fishery, as Brad Reynolds and photographer Don Doll report.
• The Aral: A Soviet Sea Lies Dying. In 30 years the Aral Sea has lost 40 percent of its surface area and 66 percent of its volume, primarily to the demands of irrigation. William S. Ellis and photographer David Turnley assess an environmental tragedy brought on by economic development in the U.S.S.R.
• Common Ground, Different Dreams: The US-Canada Border. Geography has made us neighbors; history has made us friends, said President John F. Kennedy. Now the U.S. Canada Free Trade Agreement has made both nations pay more attention across the world’s longest undefended border. Priit J. Vesilind and photographer Sarah Leen plumb the complex affections and misunderstandings between the neighbors.
• Chestnuts: Back From the Brink. Victim of blight, the American chestnut tree has all but vanished from the eastern forests of the United States since 1900. M. Ford Cochran and photographer Gary Braasch chronicle the efforts to save the trees that remain and the breed new resistant strains.
