Summary: BBC'S Knowledge Magazine
Comment: Quite an incredible magazine. With fascinating articles that cover a broad span of topics, Knowledge is interesting, informative, intriguing.
I have given it as a gift several times.
It could only be made better by being published monthly instead of bi-monthly.

Summary: A Fun & Thought-Provoking Read!
Comment: The first issue of this magazine that I encountered was the Jan/Feb 2009 edition that features "Lincoln's Legacy" as the main cover story. I was attracted at first by the unique cover and then the title of the magazine: BBC Knowledge: For the Curious Mind --Science, History, Nature. A quick thumb through of the magazine let me know right away that this exciting, visually appealing packet of knowledge was for me. The articles were freshly crisp, smart, and well illustrated--intellectual, but not too stuffy, too academic, or too specialized.
To give you an idea of the kinds of / scope of information included in BBC Knowledge, I'll give you a quick overview below; however, please note, this does not even scratch the surface of the content within! This lively magazine is chock full of cool little sidenotes and tidbits. It's like a gym for the brain!
Main Story: "Lincoln's Legacy: From Abe to Obama, how the vision of America's greatest leader lives on"
"The Real Thought Police" Brain Scans and What They Reveal; Mind Control Possible?
"The Rise of the Superscraper" Buildings aspiring to be mile high
"Portfolio: Arctic Foxes" (Great photos in this article!)
"What have the Romans ever done for us?" A Look at Ancient Rome & its Influences
"Conservation / Nature: The Whizz Herd Of Oz" What?" People are planning to eat Kangaroos???
"Where's My Robot?" Thought-provoking article, Cyber Slaves in the future?
"The Big Idea: Evolution" Darwin, Creationists, et al
"The Stinging Detective: Scientists Use Bees to Sniff Out Explosives"
"Picture This: Solving the OctoPuzzle" Ever wonder what an octopus would do with a Rubik's Cube?
"How it Works: Wii Controller"
Regular Magazine Features seem to include the following: Inbox; Snapshot; Update; Q&A; Resources; In the Know; The Last Word
I highly recommend this magazine to those who loved to learn and who love to share what they have learned with others. This would make a great classroom magazine or an addition to one's library magazine subscriptions. The magazine even smells nice! LOL :D The companion website is intriguing as well.
