| Its a magazine ABOUT science | |
| Discover magazine is truly unique among the "science" magazine fray. While other science mags focus on the discoveries themselves, Discover focuses on the process of science, the politics of science, the potential ramifications of discoveries and how very unobjective and unquestioned assumptions about the world cause scientists to ask certain questions or make judgements about certain results. I guess I am saying that Discover is maybe the only "postmodern" science mag out there. That is not to say that one will not learn a lot of cool science facts while reading Discover. But Discover doesnt stop with "just the facts". It never fails to look at science and discoveries in the larger context.
The amazing thing is that it does all of this in a most readable, educating, and entertaining way - and that a magazine with that kind of approach is available at the middle-America supermarket. | |
| Open Your Mind and you may just Discover Something New | |
| Discover graces my coffee table each month for one main reason -- I want to always maintain an attitude of discovery. I believe that discovering new things and experiencing new possibilities is the essence of living a great life, and this magazine is a constant reminder to me to keep my eyes open for New things.
For example, the film WHAT THE #*$%* DO WE KNOW was a fresh and powerful discovery for me about the power of atititude and metaphysical possibilities. Likewise, the films NEW SEX NOW by Clint Arthur and GODDESS WORSHIP by Dr. Clarke opened me up to physical and spiritual possibilities that cross-over in the arena of intimate bonding and sacred sexuality. And the CD "Voice Lessons To Go" opened me to the possibility that I might be able to take my singing pleasures outside the shower! When we are children the whole world, each and every day is a big bright discovery, and so it makes perfect sense that most people look back fondly on those formative years of discovery. I say there is no reason not to maintian that freshness in life, and every reason to pursue it actively -- and thus I am a loyal subscriber to the glossy pages of DISCOVER. | |

| Discover has always captivated me with its simple, easy to understand articles but in-depth thought. An excellent choice for people who might actually want to understand a science magazine.
