Since this forum does what I like with history - covers all topics instead of just wars, perhaps you can help. The best magazine that comes into my home is Britain's History Today. Can anyone tell me an American equivalent to History Today? I search the stands and all I find are war magazines. There is much more to history than wars, I'm sure you will agree. Maybe someone knows of such a magazine?

What period interests you most Hazel? Some have more magazines and journals than others

All periods interest me, Nick, but I latch onto prehistory fast because it is harder to find anything about that time. A natural situation, of course, but there it is. And I would love to see more American history - North America and South America. There has been a real shortage of South American History in my life - pre Spanish anyway.

I'll see if i can find some relevant articles for you. If you're interested in prehistory, the best person to talk to would be Drusin

I'll appreciate that. Also, I want to find an American History magazine that can talk about more than our infamous wars. There were other things happening and there was history here before 1492. History Today manages to do it. We should also.

I'm not familiar with the mag. you refer to, but American Heritage magazine is the first that pops into mind. You also should try a large bookstore that has a periodicals section similar to what Boarders had before they closed.

Smithsonian used to be a fairly good one, now it's more of a travelogue. And it's focus is no longer on the US.

I'm not sure what era your most interested in, but Ancient American is very good. It's also available on line.

It's not exactly "mainstream", but it isn't "fringie" either. It gives a more modern view based on recent discoveries and just plain common sense.

I went looking for American Heritage at Barnes & Noble but didn't find it. I'll try again next trip and see if they do carry it. I grew weary of Smithsonian, plus their print is too fine. Saving paper, no doubt?

Speaking of "Ancient American", have you read "1491"?

Then your not browsing hard enough. The Weider history group, for example, is well known for it's quality publications that cover a extremely broad spectrum of historical topics...not merely the US Civil War.

The Smithsonian and the BBC's history publications are more excellent examples.

But... if you presume to avoid publications that speak of war because that is a personal anathema...then your out of luck. For every History related publication I have ever perused....recommended.... or required as reading, as an educator-analyst-consultant-speaker-writer, in uniform and out..... over 40 years..... at some point or another has featured articles dealing with the same on occasion.

The same was true as a student in higher academia.

War is history. Whether one likes it or approves or not.

No, I'm not trying to avoid war articles but to find magazines that publish more than war stories. A magazine like History Today which I get from Britain. That is my style of magazine.

Admittedly, I gave up some time ago but I'll try again.

Thank you. I'll take another look at American Heritage on my next trip to B&N. I do get History Today and it is "the greatest". Despite being British (or, maybe because?) it does do American stories which I enjoy. I just wanted to find a similar one done in America. Nothing wrong with being patriotic, is there? :-)

Oh, I agree there. No emotional, shouting, "holier than thou", flag-waving fanatacism. What started this? I sit here looking at my magazines and am amazed at how many of them come from Britain. Now, I like my British cousins very much and I am proud of what they produce but I keep asking how this happens. Surely we do as well. But, I go through the racks and I don't find anything similar. Who knows where the fault lies? Not I. I just keep hoping.

It has been noted that we in Britain live somewhat in the past in some regards, and I guess those who might have run an empire have such tendencies. Only the other day the question was asked in regards to the large number of historical dramas. I don't think there's too much wrong in dipping a toe in such tendencies, as long as you don't plunge both feet in at the expense of looking to the present and the future. Smile

I'll get scolded now for going off-topic but, if you like to read, there is a ponderous book out called "Postwar" by Tony Judt. It is the story of Europe after WW II, how the many nations coped and/or didn't cope. There is a section in it telling how BBC worked to help restore pride in British culture when everything seemed to be going down the tube. We sometimes get a taste of what BBC provides on NPR radio but not enough, I fear. Anyway, please don't lose that. It's what make Britain special.

Ah, thank you. I am afraid we do not get the British shows. Well, first, I do not shelter a television set in my home but that's neither here nor there. We do not generally hear from BBC. They tell me it has something to do with copyrights. This is something I really do not understand because many friends in Britain tell me they watch our shows. How that works is beyond me.

Oh that's a real shame about not being able in your area. I know that there are British shows showing in America, but I'm ignorant of the intricacies of American television so I can't comment further, and would have to hope someone more enlightened would be able to shed more light on the situation. However as you do not shelter a television then maybe such information might be immaterial. Smile

I was never watching the idiot box much before they switched us to digital - meaning forcing us to buy cable. I just didn't feel it was worth some $80 a month to watch the news when I can get it on radio, in newsletters, etc. There are some good programs on cable. However, friends who have it tell me they are quite repetitious. Do you get a lot of repetition of programs there?

I doubt there are many places where repartition doesn't occur, especially these days due to economic circumstances. There are times when such repartition comes in handy, but I must admit there are times when it can be a pain. What I do is pick and choose and leave the rest to those who are interested. Alternatively many good shows can be viewed through on-line services for those who want to catch up on shows already shown, so I guess in that way it isn't that necessaries to have a television set to watch them.

I think that time can't come quick enough. Not that it will make me watch more shows unless the standard of shows improves considerably. I do tend to listen to the odd radio station on-line. Smile

Some day computers and television will be totally combined. They are working on it. I can get BBC radio on the computer - IF I can remember to add six hours. :-)

I think that time can't come quick enough. Not that it will make me watch more shows unless the standard of shows improves considerably. I do tend to listen to the odd radio station on-line. Smile

Standards improve??????????????

Hahahahahahah!!! exactly, hazel, don't hold your breath. LOL

What a handsome figure of a dragon. No wonder I fall madly in love with the Alani Dragon now, the avatar, it's a gorgeous dragon picture.

I'll have to admit to a bit of ignorance there. Who is Tony Robinson? Perhaps someone connected with Young Archaeologists Club, of which I also know nothing.

Hello again, hazel, Tony Robinson, is an actor and comedian, but also important in this case as presenter of a very popular archaeological show in Britain called Time Team. Smile

"The uploader has not made this video available in your country." That's what it says. That's what many of them say. Well, those from BBC and S4C anyway. Is it from BBC?

Thanks for the effort. Hazel

No, it's from Channel 4. Very old repeats of the show are sometimes shown on the History Channel (usually late at night, after all the dreck about Jewish Nazi Martians, Fat Redneck Truckers, and Foul Mouthed Lumberjacks)

Oh. Still wouldn't let me view it. I'm in the wrong country.

Even if you can't watch the videos, they've got a good website covering their most recent digs. Maybe there's an archaeological group in your town you could get into contact with?
