Great popular science review [Posted on 2008-12-14]
I have read this magazine off and on since I was a teenager. It is general enough for anyone to read and specific enough to be educational. A fun way to keep up with new science.

It was amazing how fast we received our first issue. Since then we have received two more.

Good General Science and Technology Magazine - Recommended! [Posted on 2008-12-17]
We have enjoyed "Discover" magazine for several years and have found that is has improved over time. The magazine generaly provides well written and solid articles, geared for the layman. My science minded teens also enjoy it and have used some of the contents as the basis for science projects.

Discover covers a wide range of science and technology related fields, including phyiscs, bio-engineering, medical, space, energy, and more. The photos and diagrams are good and mostly useful, but can sometimes be "hit or miss".

For science and technology presented in clear format for the layman, this magazine is recommended! You might also be interested in Seed

Discover magazine 2-yr subscription [Posted on 2008-12-27]
An excellent value (at the Amazon price) for a superior technical news & features monthly publication.

A TV Show on Paper [Posted on 2009-01-07]
DISCOVER has positioned itself somewhere halfway between "Nature" and "People" magazines. There are still fine, lucid, informative articles, though not in every issue, but there are also ill-written inadequately fact-checked blurts. If your basic scientific fund of knowledge is broad enough, you'll have no trouble ignoring the latter. More annoying for me are the occasional feature articles that slither into science-fantasy, that suggest serious professional interest in flimsy fly-by-night notions.

Nevertheless, I subscribe. I even pick it up at kiosks when I'm on the road and I miss an issue. It's not a big investment of reading time -- scarcely a flight from Minneapolis to Montreal worth -- and precisely because it's mere pop journalism, it's less infuriating than Scientific American.
