Popular science is an
interesting and fun magazine, and you can always find something worth reading if you browse through it, but the average issue is more about technology than science. In the
April 2001 issue of Popular Science, for example, I see one
article about whales, one article about
NASA's return to Mars, one about a
neutrino detector, and one about a new medical theory. The rest of the magazine is about automobiles and new gadgets - not super high tech gadgets, but ones which giant corporations are getting ready to produce.
Auto's and computers and cell phones, oh my!
I can't help thinking they get advertisers to write a LOT of their copy, especially with their What's New section.
