Magazine published weekly, aimed at
audiences ranging from laymen to
career scientists. Covers the latest findings in a 'popular' format; i.e. not too many details, uses simple words to explain everything. Contains
humour, and an 'answer the reader's questions' section which generally makes for interesting reading. ("Why is
defecation relaxing? Why are
yawns catching? Why do
lasers paint
dark lines and spots on 'glow-in-the-dark' material? ") Makes for easy, informative reading; just like
education should be.
May be found at many
public libraries, or online at www.newscientist.com (recommended).
