Physical Science, Economic Issues, Health, and More

Date of Review:  Mar 10, 2004
The Bottom Line: This is a solid intellectual magazine, but some readers will not appreciate the liberal bias in certain areas.
Review: Scientific American is a monthly publication that caters to the well- informed individual who likes to keep up with the latest trends in science- related issues and breakthroughs. Far from being strictly a physical science magazine, Scientific...

Spektrum der Wissenschaft!

Date of Review:  Jun 3, 2000
Review: "Scientific American" is one of my favorite mags. And yes, I get the English version. Despite its title, it is published in all sorts of countries, in several languages.
It is not a scientific journal. It lacks specialization; what it does is...

Great for geeks of all kinds!

Date of Review:  Nov 28, 2000
Review: Are you a geek? I am. That's probably the only reason Scientific American appealed to me. I have read this magazine since I was about 12 years old in the early 90's. (yea, I'm a young one) The wonderful thing about this magazine is that it doesn't...

Free Science Info...Scientific American Online

Date of Review:  Aug 1, 2000
Review: There are a number of excellent reviews on the traditional print magazine, Scientific American, so I will limit my comments to the online
version.

Scientific American is one of those rare online publications that does not serve merely...

Not A Nobel Scientist, but Not An Idiot Either

Date of Review:  Jun 23, 2000
Review: I wasn't around for the glory days of Scientific American, so I can't compare the magazine of the 60's to the magazine of today. I do, however, find SciAm interesting and often challenging. As a middle school science teacher, I do not specialize in...

Expand Your Scientific Horizons with Scientific American

Date of Review:  Apr 8, 2003
The Bottom Line: A true science magazine for those of us interested in the story behind the headlines. You'll stretch your mind - but you'll be better for it!
Review: When you have been reading a magazine such as Popular Science, Discover or any of the other general science magazines, have you ever felt that you were just a little too smart for them? If you have, then Scientific America is definitely a magazine...

Great Science Magazine that has been water down by freelance journalists

Date of Review:  Feb 7, 2009
The Bottom Line:

I recommend Scientific American to anyone interested in Science. However, I would like to issue a warning that it has become opinionated.

Review: I have been a subscriber of Scientific American for many years and I've read it on off ever since I was a high school kid in the 80's. Scientific American is a monthly Science magazine with a broad scope, and the current target readership are...

Are You A Scientific American?

Date of Review:  Jul 21, 2000
Review: I used to subscribe to this magazine while in high school. Now I just pick a copy up when I get a chance. I think I read my first copy of this magazine in a library, and took a liking to it. I recommend this magazine to anyone who is interested in...

A magazine for the intellectually curious

Date of Review:  Jun 22, 2000
Review: I have been reading Scientific American for several years and it is the only magazine I subscribe to. (I guess now I know why my high school friends thought I was weird.)

Topics: If you could take it as a science class or talk about it in a...

Balanced science reporting for intelligent readers

Date of Review:  Oct 24, 1999
Review: I've been reading Scientific American since I was a tiny child. My dad used to subscribe to it, and even before I could read I loved to pick it up and look at the strange, beautiful pictures. When I learned to read, Scientific American was one of my...
