Reviews

[Abbas Mehrabian]

I stumbled upon this magazine in an Indigo store; it's my favourite magazine now, and I plan to subscribe. They don't publish original pieces, but curate published pieces about a theme in each issue. The editors have great taste and they also print amazing pictures to accompany the text. Each issue is an anthology of great pieces. The pieces range from old to new. I especially like it because I'm interested in how people used to think in different periods of time.

One of the better ones. After all, every migration has a beginning (start), middle (journey) and destination. Makes for great stories.

Thanks as always to Thomas M. Siebel and the Siebel Foundation.

This is a really great topic to frame an issue around, but they talk about bird migration way too much here.

The three things I did love in here:
- the history of passports
- the remittances graphic
- the Thomas Jefferson article

The rest was either too open border policy or too bird-focused.

Good reading.
