Discover
- Science rules the headlines these days, with new developments each week in
genetics, astrophysics, computers, and medicine, and Discover is a great way
to get a broad spectrum of science news. Designed for the general reader,
Discover translates and interprets many of the same stories professionals
peruse in Scientific American. Accessible articles on genetically engineered
food, what's living in your pillows, real robots in action, and what makes a
Stradivarius sing add up to a truly delightful family science magazine. Each
issue brings to light new and newsworthy topics to stimulate dinnertime and
water-cooler conversations beyond the mundane, and Discover spices the mix
with puzzles, Web links, book reviews, and experiments for amateur
scientists
National
Geographic Magazine - The wonders of the world grace the pages of
venerable National Geographic, the magazine of choice for armchair explorers

into their dens, and take the pulse of the earth through up-to-the-minute
environmental reporting. Besides being an ever-popular reference for kids
with reports to write, National Geographic offers the best browsing of any
magazine, period. Stories as diverse as an ecologist's trek through the
heart of the African jungle, the religious conflicts that threaten to tear
Indonesia apart, and the inner workings of a silicon chip keep readers
enthralled, page after page. With over a century of science, nature, and
geography to build on, National Geographic is ready to cover the stories of
the new millennium.
Scientific
American - For working scientists, especially in high-tech fields, there
are only a few crucial nonjournal periodicals to pore over faithfully, and
Scientific American is one of them--its timely and technical features on
everything from paleoarchaeology to neural nets set it apart from popular
science magazines like Discover. Scientific American emphasizes a wide
variety of emerging technologies, giving scientists a chance to keep up in
an increasingly specialized professional world. Innovative and controversial
developments such as gene patenting and the latest from the unified field
gurus are front and center in every issue. It's not all business,
though--regular features like Michael Shermer's "Skeptic" column,
enticing book reviews, brain-busting puzzles, and James Burke's
intellectual-historical meanderings add browsability to this enduring
magazine, in business reporting the frontiers of scientific exploration for
more than 150 years
