360 Review magazine covers energy, agriculture, finance, culture and faith on the Northern Great Plains. 360 Review presents in-depth inquiry, analysis and reflection on important issues, trends and events happening in and affecting this region. There will be a special focus on North Dakota, where we are located, especially in this first edition. More stories about surrounding states will be published in future issues."Magazine" derives from makhazin, the Arabic word for "storehouse," which also soon gained military application as a "store for arms." The world's first print magazines began publication in England in the 18th century and sought to provide a storehouse of information and intellectual armament. 360 Review joins that tradition with the Christian, Catholic and Benedictine tradition of the University of Mary, which exists to serve the religious, academic and cultural needs of people in this region and beyond.As a poet once wrote: "The universe is composed of stories, not atoms." 360 Review strives to tell some of these stories well--on paper (made of atoms, we presume), which is retro-innovative in a world spinning into cyberspace. There is also a digital version, available at: www.umary.edu/360.
