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:

• Snowy Owls: They've got movie-star charisma, with power (and talons) to match. But to raise chicks, snowy owls rely on the boom-or-bust market of their favorite prey: the humble lemming.
• The Hawaiians: A century after Hawaiians lost their kingdom and much of their culture, a new generation is discovering its roots—and some of them want their islands back.
• X-ray Vision: The orbiting Chandra X-ray Observatory lifts the veil on exploding stars, pulsars, quasars, and black holes.
• Surviving the Sahara: Fifteen-hundred miles (2,400 kilometers) of heat, cold, hunger, and evil spirits. The team's only hope: their steadfast camels.
• The Search for PT 109: Explorer Bob Ballard goes after JFK's PT 109, and Senator Ted Kennedy recalls a heroic brother's return.
• A New Day in Kabul: Children are returning to school. Women are starting businesses. Can the recovery of Afghanistan's weary capital city be sustained?
• ZipUSA: Tysons Corner, Virginia: If money talks, then this suburban mall shouts. Hard to believe it was once a rural crossroads.
