Description
National Geographic The Covers is the definitive cover collection from the world's most beloved magazine. The magazine with the famous yellow border has been in publication for more than 125 years, and its vast array of cover stories have opened our eyes to a richly diverse world and taken us to places we only dream of visiting: deep within the rain forest, miles below the surface of the ocean, and into the farthest reaches of the universe.
Reviews / Votes
"From Jane Goodall's 1965 cover introducing her work with chimpanzees to the 2013 cover featuring three storm chasers, this book is as much a walk through recent history as it is about beautiful images." --Twin Cities Pioneer PressMore details
