Advantages: well written

Disadvantages: expensive

I read this magazine backwards, always starting with Feedback the excellent column that charts all the amusing stories that have been sent in that week; also the results form all the competition that they run. Next questions and answers, the public send in any questions that they might have about random scientific topics and other readers try to answer the questions I always learn something new here!

Each week the have a few articles covering interesting topics on a huge range of topics, the news section gives short readable insights to what going on in science. Book reviews and interviews are great short break reading. Frequent specials on recruitment or grad special lead into the essential jobs section. This is an excellent magazine for people with a passing interest in science or scientist who want to keep up to date in other fields.

The subscription is quite a lot at £165 but they frequently do discounts for new customers, this also means you can access all the content on-line.

http://www.newscientist.com/ is an excellent website, all the latest news stories are right there on the front page , explaining the hot topics from all the fields of science. They also have in depth guides to things like space and evolution. To get to the content of the magazine can be a bit of an effort, (click on 'this weeks magazine" no the picture) as they try to send you to subscription pages all the time.

Summary: good for everyone to enjoy
