## Description

Product Description          American Scientist is a bimonthly, award winning, illustrated magazine. Each issue covers a wide range of scientific topics, including recent research developments in biology, chemistry, psychology, physics, geology, and technology. Also included is the Scientists' Nightstand book review section.             .com Review          When you're looking for well-researched content chronicling the latest developments in science and technology, American Scientist magazine delivers. Each issue covers a wide range of scientific topics, including recent research developments in biology, chemistry, psychology, physics, geology, and technology.  All of the articles in American Scientist magazine are written by scientists and engineers, and the magazine is published by Sigma Xi, The Scientific Research Society, so you can trust the veracity of the content. The photographs, charts, and diagrams that accompany articles make the subjects accessible even to those with little familiarity with the given topic and add depth to the knowledge of those familiar with the material. However, the majority of the content is aimed at those with a background in general science, so readers with little scientific training may find the articles a bit technical.  Regular columns in American Scientist magazine highlight modern scientists' diverse viewpoints regarding the process of science. Personal essays on the intersection of science and computing, cutting-edge and controversial science, and the future of scientific research allow you a glimpse into the minds of people actively working in the field. Book reviews help you narrow down your reading list, while insightful cartoons keep you smiling even on days when your own research isn't living up to your expectations.  Whether you are a professional scientist interested in keeping up with discoveries in different fields or a student who simply likes to explore the world in greater depth, American Scientist magazine can give you a greater appreciation for modern science and technology.

    Perhaps the Best of the General Science Magazines
  

*by D***N on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 26, 2013*

There are or have been a fair number of ‘science’ magazines — magazines devoted to general science and technology, written for an audience most of whom will not have an expert background in most of the major fields covered.  Unfortunately, most of them are written not so much to convey some understanding of their ostensible topics as to give the reader the impression that he or she has been informed. (In high school, we called essays and papers written that way ‘B.S.’)American Scientist (not to be confused with Scientific American) is one of the exceptions.  It began and remains a house organ of Sigma Xi (a society of scientists and engineers), and is written as if on the assumption that the readership has a strong background in some science, if not necessarily in the specific science of a given article. (You can sample some of the articles by going to www.americanscientist.org .)One deficiency that this magazine shares with every other general magazine that I have read is that, when the relationship of science or technology to social policy is discussed, the authors usually make unquestioned technocratic assumptions of one sort or of another (presuming that administrated solutions will necessarily be at least as good and usually better than those of any other sort), and are also inclined to insist (as if it is just obvious to all Right-Thinking people) that the marginal value of satisfying scientific curiosity outweighs that of rival concerns.

    Has replaced SciAm as the #1 affordable scientific mag
  

*by S***E on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on April 21, 2012*

This is what SciAM used to be. Sigma Xi is the publisher. Here, the society remains loyal to the scientific reader. The first copy I received turned into a cover to cover read.Four specific `things I learned' in my first copy included:1. Only in 2011 have arctic glaciers receded to the 1300AD, pre Little Ice Age extant based on carbon dating newly exposed flora. The LIA may be finally over, 160 later than previously believed. The cause of the LIA is hypothesized on 4 nearly simultaneous volcanic eruptions.2. The human eye's white sclera and small iris are unique in nature allowing the ability to discern and communicate `gaze'. It is hypothesized that this ability to discern visual direction permitted the domestication of dogs. H.nea did not domestic dogs in the same period. Dog domestication may have been a critical factor in H.sap's success.3. Civilization's development of `cities' has been pushed back 5,000 years based on Jordanian excavations to 20,000 years ago.4. The soap-bubble analog computer reveals a previously unknown form of crystal symmetry new to both mathematics and science.If I can glean 4 new specifics to think about between mag editions, I'm happy.Thank you previous Amazon reviewers! It was your reviews that prompted me to exit SciAM

    Varied, in depth content.
  

*by B***G on Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 29, 2012*

Approximate ship date for first issue was 2 to 3 months out, but was pleasantly surprised when it arrived just 1 month after placing order. After receiving this publication it was clear that the articles were written for individuals with an interest and a background in science. The articles aren't just a page with flashy pictures and a short write-up. All articles gave a brief synopsis of the technology and research behind the topics being discussed before diving into the details. I also subscribe to Popular Science, which pales in comparison to American Scientist. American Scientist gives readers realist applications for the topics covered and gives information sources after most articles.My only wish is that American Scientist was published every month, instead of bimonthly. But you can't have everything.
