BOOK/RESOURCE: National Geographic Covers

[Frank W. Baker]

 
A new book, National Geographic The Covers, pulls back the curtain and goes behind-the-scenes of some popular National Geographic Magazine covers.

This story profiles the stories behind five iconic NGM covers.

About the book: "The Covers also reveals the captivating stories behind unforgettable images—from the piercing green eyes of the Afghan girl to the haunted, hunted gorillas of the Congo's Virunga Crater. Decade by decade, the covers chart our evolving understanding of global culture and the unfolding of international political events as they record groundbreaking discoveries and the enduring beauty of our natural world."

There is also this searchable NGM cover archive.
