Discover (1-year)

Even though I was told to expect to wait 6 - 8 weeks for my subscription to begin, I received two issues within a month.

The price was excellent.

Don't order magazines from Amazon! I don't know if this is a publisher issue or what but I ordered June 4, 2008, still no magazine by Sep 30, 2008. Amazon (after multi holds etc.) tells me that I am on my own with the publisher. Will reverse charges. Poor service!!!

I got an excellent deal for Discover magazines through the ' daily lightning deals' section. You should check this out, you might catch something for a price you hardly imagined.

As someone with a casual interest in science, I find this magazine both accessible and interesting. It doesn't talk down to the reader, yet it is not overwhelming either. The articles are on a good mix of topics, from mental illness to NASA to genetic profiling. I would definitely recommend Discover to anyone who has checked out science news on a general news site like CNN.com. This magazine will amply supplement your science news consumption. A+

Yet another magazine with a blatant liberal bias. Every single article is written by a leftist, un-objective amateur.

Not suitable for bird cage lining.
