Product Review

SCIENCE FOR THE CONSUMER

by   loki3 ,   Oct 4, 2000

Pros:  CURRENT INFORMATION

Cons:  FLUFF, NOTHING NON-COMMERCIAL

Overall Rating: 3/5 stars
 

Author's Review

When I first began exploring my interest in science, I happened to come across the magazine Popular Science. It was great, there were articles on new technologies and current scientific concerns that were completely enthralling. What couldn't be better?
But as my interests expanded, I found that the magazine was ill equipped to expand with me. While the quality of their magazine was still high, the subject matter appears to only be geared for the very mainstream science enthusiast. As time went on, I became increasingly aware of the heavy slant towards commercialism in the scientific community. Don't get me wrong, nothing drives scientific progress as the competition between companies, but was I reading a scientific magazine or a purchasing brochure?
I would wholeheartedly suggest this magazine for many people who don't want to get too deep into the foray of science, those who can handle and even enjoy a light fluffy article without a lot of deep probing. However, for those who may want a little more chicken with their mashed potatoes, I would suggest moving on to Discover magazine or one of the many other more science driven magazines.
