National Geographic is the official magazine of the National Geographic Society. It has been published continuously since its first issue in 1888, nine months after the Society itself was founded. It primarily contains articles about geography, history, and world culture. The magazine is known for its extensive use of dramatic photographs. The magazine is published monthly, and additional map supplements are also included with subscriptions. On occasion, special editions of the magazine are issued. The first issue of National Geographic Magazine was published on September 22, 1888, nine months after the Society was founded. Starting with its January 1905 publication of several full-page pictures of Tibet in 1900-1901, the magazine changed from being a text-oriented publication closer to a scientific journal to featuring extensive pictorial content, and became well known for this style. John Hyde was the first editor.This issue includes: A Teen-ager Sails the World Alone by Robin Lee Graham; Mexico's New Museum, Window on the Past by Bart McDowell and R. Anthony Stewart; Great Smokies National Park Solitude for Millions by Gordon Young and James L. Amos, Journey into Golden Greece and Rome by Melville Bell Grosvenor; and Antarctica: Icy Testing Ground for Space by Samuel W. Matthews and Robert W. Madden.Robin Lee Graham (born March 5, 1949) is an American sailor. He set out to sail around the world alone as a teenager in the summer of 1965. National Geographic Magazine ( Oct. '68, April '69, Oct. '70) carried the story, and he co-wrote a book, titled Dove, detailing his journey. Before beginning his around-the-world journey. At the age of sixteen, he started out heading west in his 24-foot sloop. He married along the way and, after almost five years, ended his journey in Los Angeles instead of finishing his around-the-world journey where he started in Hawaii. Graham's book about his voyage, Dove, was published in 1972. His voyage was depicted in a film, The Dove (1974). A follow-up book, Home Is The Sailor, was published in 1983.Bart McDowell was a writer and senior editor at the National Geographic Magazine, where he worked for 32 years. B. Anthony Stewart joined the National Geographic in 1927 as a photo lab bookkeeper, but came to the attention of National Geographic chairman Gil Grosvenor as a talented photographer. Until he retired in 1969, he was always a staff photographer. His work epitomizes the early days of documentary photography. He used all of the emerging photographic technologies but his technique came from an earlier era and he took painstaking efforts to set up every detail in a photograph so composition was perfect. When in July 1959 National Geographic decided to break its nearly century long policy of not having photographs on its cover, it was a patriotic image shot by Stewart that was chosen to launch its series of the world's most recognized magazine covers.Gordon Young served the U.S. Army in Korea, obtained a B.S. at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, then moved to Chiang Mai, Thailand to work for the U.S. Government. There he also did field collecting for museums, founded the now famous Chiang Mai Zoo with his father, and compiled the first significant informal ethnographic study of Thailand's northern hill tribe peoples. Naturalist-hunter-ethnologist, Young's life has spanned some forty years in South and Southeast Asia. Jim Amos was born and raised in Kalamazoo, Michigan in a musical family. He studied photography and photographic technology at Rochester Institute of Technology and then worked for Eastman Kodak Company. In 1967 he left Kodak to become a freelance photographer, which led to a twenty-six year career making photographs for National Geographic Society. In 1969, and again 1970, he was named "Magazine Photographer of the Year" by the National Press Photographers Association. Melville Bell Grosvenor was the president of the National Geographic Society and editor of The National Geographic Magazine from 1957 to 1967. He reduced the name of the publication from The National Geographic Magazine to National Geographic. Under Grosvenor's tenure, National Geographic also began to branch out from land expeditions to cover investigations into space and the deep sea.

Softcover volume, measuring approximately 6" x 9.25", is new. xvi/432 pages."How do local communities collectively manage those resources that are most important to their own survival or prosperity? Wherever they are located, all communities face similar dilemmas of collective action: how can common goals be realized despite the presence of individual incentives to over-exploit common resources for private gain? The readings collected in "Polycentric Governance and Development" show the achievements of scholars associated with the Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis at Indiana University in understanding how communities have dealt with dilemmas of collective action. Their analyses also have profound implications for broader issues of development.The central insight of the research collected in the volume is this: much can be learned by a careful examination of the ways in which local communities have organized themselves to solve collective problems, achieve common aspirations, and resolve conflicts. The first two sections deal with efforts to manage water and other common-pool resources on a relatively small scale. Section three moves to the macro-level of analysis, with particular attention given to examples of constitutional order from Africa, while section four demonstrates that local organizations and informal networks can play essential roles in furthering democratization and development. The concluding section addresses issues at the national level, by linking the practical world of resource management and development policy to the abstract world of the policy analyst. This collection of essays is designed to illustrate how all the pieces fit together and to suggest connections among multiple levels and modes of analysis.Contributors include Paula C. Baker, William Blomquist, Larry L. Kiser, Ronald J. Oakerson, Elinor Ostrom, Vincent Ostrom, Roger B. Parks, Stephen L. Percy, Charles M. Tiebout, Martha Vandivort, Robert Warren, Gordon P.
