Science Illustrated Magazine

average magazine, below average value

As someone who has been a subscriber to Discover magazine for many years, and who has been an on & off subscriber to Popular Science, I finally decided to give Science Illustrated a try this year. 

My reaction could best be summed up as:  lukewarm.  It's okay; some of the articles are interesting and some of the photography is quite nice.  But it doesn't have the variety that Discover does, and for the same amount of money you pay for 6 issues of Science Illustrated, you can get 12 issues of Discover.  So in terms of value, it's just not there.  If the yearly subscription price of Science Illustrated was the same but you got 12 issues a year, I would probably have fiven this a 4 star rating.  But quite frankly, $16 for 6 isssues of this is not really worth it in my opinion when there are better options out there.

Not Science for Dummies

Since science is not my forte, I thought an illustrated version of the subject would be perfect for me. My husband, who was a biology major, probably enjoys this magazine more than me, though it has encouraged me to read about the latest information, discoveries and inventions.  This magazine is packed with information and is definitely not just for science majors but is also NOT science for dummies.

Fabulous Photographs

This magazine really IS fabulous.  Perfect for use in my middle school science classes.  The articles are cutting edge, and the pics and diagrams are clear and easily understood.  Only wish it came every month instead of six times a year! Great investment.

I love science. This magazine gives me a great explanation of differing aticles i would otherwise not understand. In a recent issue, they expained that in March, 09, a group of scientists created the first synthetic life. I probably never would have known without Science Illoustrated.
