KEY TO 1999

CLOSED DOORS opened to GEOGRAPHIC readers in 1999. Twice they saw the face of Cuban culture, in June and October. A look at Iran came in July, and at Iraq in November. Members also learned in November of newly discovered birdlike dinosaur fossils. Today's flora and fauna were examined in February's biodiversity issue--part of a special millennium series--followed by a human counterpart on global culture in August. To track memorable articles from recent years, a cumulative index for 1989 through 1998 is available for $15.95. The first 110 years of the GEOGRAPHIC, 1888-1998, are available on CD-ROM for $99.95 and on DVD-ROM for $119.95, plus postage and handling. To order, call 1-800-437-5521 or write to NGS, PO Box 11650, Des Moines, IA 50340-1650.
