Science Magazines

[d000hg]

I might have to pretend it's 1993 and pop into WH Smiths to check them out. If they still stock them.

So, no to electronic versions? I'm sure when Kindle was new they made a big fuss about having newspaper and magazine subs but it doesn't really seem to have taken off, which is a shame.

When I was in 6th form I used to read Scientific American and New Scientist as they had them in the library. I'd quite like to get back in the habit but in these modern days I wondered if I should be looking for a Kindle subscription, or if these are even the best magazines to go for.

Any recommendations? I'm interested in most areas of science really but I suppose a leaning to physics/chemistry.

Still read NS - my subscription is with the pirate bay

WHS about Scientific American

IMHO the rot started setting in when Martin Gardner retired

New Scientist is still moreorless OK, although their leftie liberal stance can be rather trying. Also, the number of pages with actual content is steadily being reduced by adverts and those silly abstract art pictures that accompany every article.

The abstract images feeds my imagination it does.

If I wanted to steal them, I'd just ask my ex-shoplifter friend to nick them for me.

I have a subscription to New Scientist. There's usually one or two interesting articles in it. This week, for example, it has something about chemistry at super high pressures. If you have a subscription you've got access to all content online. Without a subscription, but as a registered user, there's quite a lot of content available.

Wow! Thanks and Mega kudos to you for that link.

I have a pile of dusty old New Scientists that I've been meaning to scan, knowing full well it would be an absurd waste of time and will never happen. Now I can ditch the whole lot and just download them
