Customer Rating:
Summary: Literate, authoritative history in a nutshell.
Comment: Smithsonian says it like it was, albeit short and sweet. Without sprinkling complex grammar and cute expressions that are the hallmark of so many publications, Smithsonian provides the latest meaningful scholarship, especially if it departs from traditional concepts. Their photos are always profoundly informative and fresh, without cut and paste from the time-honored sources. Their article on Gavrilo Princip, the assassin of Archduke Francis Ferdinand, shook me to the core. Thanks Smithsonian.

Comment: Small pieces on the entire world - past present and future. Yum.

Summary: a cover to cover read
Comment: I've been getting this magazine through Smithsonian for several years, so was delighted to see that I could get it cheaper through Amazon. (Smithsonian reminds me of Nat'l Geographic, which I also love.) My complaint in getting through Amazon, though, is that I could not stipulate when I wanted the subscription to start. My previous subscription just ended, so I do hope that it starts soon.

Summary: Smithsonian magazine fan
Comment: I have been an avid reader and supporter of Smithsonian magazine since I received my gift subscription in the early 70's. This is a cover to cover read every month and the museums are not to be missed if you have the opportunity to visit. They have rich collections for every interest, young and old!

Summary: Informative but not flashy
Comment: Smithsonian is the magazine where I read about issues that wind up being newsmakers later. Really esoteric stuff. It's not flashy, or a quick read, or filled with funny, snarky content, so it sometimes is the last one I pick up (of my subscriptions)--it takes a little time and a quiet moment in the day. That said: this magazine has so much to recommend it. I really feel like I learn something each month when I read it. There is a good range of subjects in each issue--everything from articles on the environment to exploration to history to science. And then some. It really will educate you. If you care to be informed and continue learning, then I recommend Smithsonian. I also think it has gotten a little more interesting in the last five or so years. I would hate to have to live without Smithsonian, National Geographic, The New Yorker and The Atlantic.
