Earth - Va
This is a nice magazine for those interested in earth sciences. Like Discovery magazine, it features articles by professional geologists, interviews with earth scientists working in the field, and small news stories relavent to modern events: earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, evidence of global warming, etc, quoted from other sources. Most of the articles, like those in Discovery, are written by jounalists who have obviously researched the professional literature and distilled it for a reading public interested in the topic of what's new in science. A very interesting and informative magazine.This magazine gives the latest news and articles on recent developments concerning the Earth sciences. The writing is aimed at the professional or the very interested amateur, but they are seldom "jargony". This is the place to go if you want to know why the earthquake in Haiti was so devastating or why the volcano in Iceland was explosive enough to disrupt European air traffic. There are usually articles on what's going on in Washington DC that affect the funding for USGS, or other science related organizations, as well as travelogues which focus on the geology of a region.I STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED THIS ITEM. I AM, HOWEVER, RECEIVING A BICYCLING MAGAZINE WHICH I DID NOT ORDER. COULD THIS POSSIBLY HAVE BEEN SENT TO ME IN ERROR? I AM STILL WAITING FOR THE GEO TIMES MAGAZINE.
