aommaster Posted December 24, 2003 Author Posted December 24, 2003 I think its a good magazine. Its really informative about scientific news. Really recommended
iglak Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 well, my parents do, and i look at it every once in a while, so i said yes.
Crash Posted December 24, 2003 Posted December 24, 2003 i subscribed to New Scientist, i find it better generally and more informative. I said no
blike Posted December 25, 2003 Posted December 25, 2003 I had a subscription last year. Its a GREAT read for the casual scientist. Great descriptions and illustrations, and awesome special issues. Highly recommended.
NSX Posted December 25, 2003 Posted December 25, 2003 I borrow and read them from the library. ;-) Of course, I'm always 1 month.
aommaster Posted December 25, 2003 Author Posted December 25, 2003 Nice! I actually subscribe to it. ITs REALLY good! You all should just buy 1 copy and have a read through.
Dudde Posted December 26, 2003 Posted December 26, 2003 anyone borrow me some money? I could subscribe with some money
atinymonkey Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Is every second page advertising? That seems to be par for the course at the moment. I generally avoid magazines with America in the title. I don't really like to read the self congratulation that goes on in them. I prefer the UK magazines with the impartial reports of excellence in the UK.
aommaster Posted December 29, 2003 Author Posted December 29, 2003 well, no, it has about 15 topics that are covered in complete detail. Then some questions to be answered (similar to this forum) and some other neat stuff. Really good. There are ads, but not many
atinymonkey Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 Oh, any topics that cover the undeniable superiority of the UK?
aommaster Posted December 29, 2003 Author Posted December 29, 2003 well, its worldwide science. They have new discoveries theories. Its worth a try!
Guest moif Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 I used to read it. Does James Burke still do his routine in the back section?
wolfson Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 atinymonkey have you got hang-ups over America? Nationalist do not write Scientific American, scientists write that that magazine, if if your thinking that only "American" scientific magazines contain advertisements on every other page, then you are seriously deluded. And by the way i am not a American, just civil.
blike Posted December 29, 2003 Posted December 29, 2003 I generally avoid magazines with America in the title. I don't really like to read the self congratulation that goes on in them. I prefer the UK magazines with the impartial reports of excellence in the UK. I suspect impartial magazines reporting on excellence in the UK to be biannual at most, as the content would be few and far between. Joking aside, I hope you were joking.
atinymonkey Posted December 30, 2003 Posted December 30, 2003 Well, I can't very well accede to a colonial upstart, now can I? Hrumph. Wolfson, I hate advertising generically, I'm not continent specific that one. I hope that one day I can open a magazine without finding 16 new products I need to make my life better, faster and minty fresh. I also object to subsidising the magazines revenue directly and indirectly through advertising fees.
aommaster Posted December 30, 2003 Author Posted December 30, 2003 Well, everyone hates ads, even me, Sigh youve just got to live with it
mam"MATT"us Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 I used to subscibe to Discover and Popular Science but I found Scientific American and the articles have much more depth. This months article on quantum gravity was especially interesting.
aommaster Posted December 31, 2003 Author Posted December 31, 2003 hmmm I haven't got that one yet. Its on its way though
Guest gamemastermh Posted December 31, 2003 Posted December 31, 2003 Scientific American is quite an excellent publication. Its smarter than Discover and some other magazines and a lot of the articles are pertinent to future technoligies. Science magazine is good too, but way harder to understand than Scientific American. In SA I really liked the article a while back about new motion systems through plastics (or rubber?). It was the cover story.
aommaster Posted January 1, 2004 Author Posted January 1, 2004 yeah. Its a really good magazine. I started to subscribe to it only last year. I saw the magazine at school, and i really liked it.
