The Atlantic MonthlyThe first issue of The Atlantic Monthly appeared in November, 1857. Billing itself as a "journal of literature, politics, science, and the arts," it was an immediate success. Throughout its award-winning, 140-year history, The Atlantic has set the standard for outstanding writing. It will help your students improve their writing skills, sharpen their critical thinking, and fire their imaginations. Set in motion by such men as Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, James Russell Lowell, Oliver Wendell Holmes, and several other gentlemen with three names, the magazine made Lowell its first editor and has grown in stature, importance, and relevance since its inception. Paging through current and past issues is simply a journey of richness for the social studies student and teacher! All school libraries need this important resource, and many individual teachers and students will want their own subscriptions. Look into The Atlantic's Educational Program which has reduced subscription prices and includes a valuable Teacher's Guide for using the magazine in the classroom.
