Books Magazines
If you are looking to take out a subscription to a birding magazine the best way is to go direct to their website and see what deals they offer there... most of the magazines listed below are based in the USA or UK but virtually all are available world wide. On-line magazines can be terrific or frustrating. Too many come and go after a worthy couple of issues… others seem stuck in a time warp with an edition in the ether but no sign of any follow up. On the other hand they can combine up-to-date information with video clips and terrific computer graphics. You pays your money… Personally I still like my hard copy... I can't take my computer to bed or on the train or use a marker pen to underline text etc. I subscribe to four magazines and see others from time to time, two are slightly different slants on birding and the third a more scientific tome which, when I can understand it, keeps me abreast of avian science. The fourth concentrates on the visual beauty of birds and I also write for that one. |
