Description: Discover is a general audience science magazine. It was originally launched into a burgeoning market for science magazines aimed at educated non-professionals, intended to be easier to read than Scientific American but more detailed and science-oriented than Popular Science. Many famous scientists, including Stephen Jay Gould, Jared Diamond, and Stephen Hawking, have contributed articles to it. It was first published in 1980. The 66-page September/October 2023 issues' cover story is: Bone Keepers - Universities hold troves of human bones. Many of them came from marginalized communities that never consented to their use. Other featured articles include: Sherlock of Sleep - Part scientist, part detective, Michel Cramer Bornemann has devoted his life to understanding and explaining parasomnias, including some of the most mysterious-and deadliest-sleep disorders ever studied. Effective Altruism Goes Viral - Can a controversial philanthropic philosophy navigate the thorny ethics of human experimentation? Cold Comfort - In the face of an epidemic, one small-town doctor invented artificial ice years before the world was ready to embrace it. COLUMNS & DEPARTMENTS EDITOR'S NOTE - What Remains - Ethical concerns prompt questions about who owns universities' skeleton collections. INBOX - One reader is cautious of AI's potential; another reflects on the inspiration for his career at NASA. HOT SCIENCE - Bill Nye discusses science's future, the bidet's history is revealed, insects share their feelings, and more! VITAL SIGNS - Trevor's Telltale Heart - A month after recovering from COVID-19, Trevor had never felt sicker. But it was the 13-year-old's failing heart that pointed to a new and unusual illness. PIECE OF MIND - Hypnotizing the Gut? - An increasing number of IBS sufferers are turning to psychotherapy for support. ITINERARY - Embracing the Darkness - Most people reflexively turn on a light when they can't see. Dark exposure invites you to instead settle in and feel your body adapt. #SCIENCEIRL - Bubbling Up - Soak in the sprawling thermal river or the pools carved from a cliffside in Grutas Tolantongo. The cover price for this magazine is $6.99. Due to a recent postage rate increase, I have had to raise my shipping costs. I have additional issues of this as well as other magazines available for sale on eBay. I will apply a shipping discount on multiple purchases. Please contact me if you are interested.
