Mike BurnsSome of the best magazine reads from current issues include the Civil War Times, which is one of the longest-running periodicals devoted to rehashing the battles and personalities of that historic conflict. To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the Civil War this week, the magazine is marking the occasion with a vividly written piece by historian Adam Goodheart on the war's first battle at Fort Sumter, South Carolina.
Explore magazine is also out with a fascinating article on urban-foraging in places like New York's Central Park. Award-winning Explore senior contributing editor J.B. MackKinnon takes a look at urban foraging courses in New York and offers a lively account of the experience. He notes that wild foods have a certain cache right now, but people hardly ever eat them. And when they do, they often find them to be bitter and fibrous.
