Geographical Magazine FREE Sample Issue Special Issue

In this issue, we look at influence - both the good kind and the bad kind. Not long ago we viewed the oceans as vast and impenetrable places that we presumed immune to human influence. We were wrong. Humans do in fact have the power to influence even the most remote places. On page 20, Catherine Early takes a look at the human influence on space, and all the bits of space junk we leave up there. On page 36, Hadani Ditmars finds a more optimistic view of human influence in Mosul, finding a cultural regeneration underway against the backdrop of a war-torn city. Be sure to check out our geo-photographer David Abram on Page 70, who captures the ancient monuments and human influence from old times still dotted around the British Isle. Plus, all the usual Geographical segments.
