This is a great magazine. Lots of glossy color pictures of rural Australia, fascinating articles about the people and places, ads that make me want to run right out and sign up to train as a Jillaroo so I can get a job working in such a glorious wilderness.
I just wish it wasn't quite so expensive. (Yeah, I know the issues have to swim here on turtle-back from Australia, but still ...)
'Iceland Review' is a wonderful magazine for those with even a casual acquaintance with Iceland and Icelandic culture. I have been to Iceland several times, and it is a truly wonderful, though expensive, country to visit. This magazine is essentially a guide to Icelandic culture and upcoming events. It is aimed at tourists with a passing familiarity with Iceland, but can be enjoyed by anyone from Icelanders to people who have only casually thought of visiting Iceland.
My favorite features in the magazine are the articles pertaining to seasonal or upcoming events (such as the Icelandic Music Festival, and other items of interest in the community of the arts, etc.) which cover the most significant events that most people would want to see in Iceland. Also noteworthy are the wonderful articles on touring Iceland, such as the recent article on the amazing Jokulsarlon glacial lagoon (probably the most beautiful place I have ever been, and seen in two James Bond films), or the incredible Skogafoss waterfall.
Of course, it is in English so it is very accessible. There are also some excellent advertisements that advertise very good rates on things like hotels, tours, Icelandair, etc. The magazine is a wealth of knowledge, and can be extensively used to plan a trip to Iceland.
If you have any interest in Iceland, and especially if you are planning a trip there, subscribe to 'Iceland Review' today. It is interesting, and will help you optimize your travels.
Turkey is at once one of the oldest inhabited areas and the most progressive Muslim country in the world (the only one which separates mosque and state). It also contains the northern part of the Holy Land. Cornucopia presents all this: readers can find stories about archeologists trying to preserve ancient ruins from waters created by dams, historic peoples and their customs, rose culture for perfume oils, glorious mountains and gardens, historic homes, palaces, villages, and nomadic people. This is Turkey, lovingly presented in a beautifully designed, photographed, and intelligently written English language magazine.
