Description: Discover is a general audience science magazine. Many famous scientists, including Stephen Jay Gould, Jared Diamond, and Stephen Hawking, have contributed articles to it. It has been in print since 1980. While some of these issues may seem outdated, the topics are as interesting now as they were when they were published. Hindsight is always 20/20! The 74-page March 2016 issues' cover story is: Rethinking Our Origins - Rethinking our Roots - For 50 years, we've looked to East Africa as the potential birthplace of our genus and species. But a growing number of sites in South Africa suggest our roots may lie there. Other articles include: Taste Test - Children choose healthy foods when left to their own devices, according to a classic experiment. But do those results still hold up? Blackout of the Century - Can we Stop the Blackout of the Century? One trio of scientists has come closer than anyone to understanding and predicting power failures, but will that be enough to avert the next big one? Sex on the Brain - We're all human, but men and women face different risks: of disease, of the effects of generations of trauma, of mental illness. Neuroscientists think these differences lie in the brain's wiring. COLUMNS & DEPARTMENTS Editor's Note - Asked and Answered - Ask (for more content), and ye shall receive.The Crux - Thanks to a fossil smaller than a sesame seed, researchers fill a gap in the records. Plus, a smart bandage that predicts bedsores, a sensor that sniffs out iffy meat and eyedrops that could help your ditch your reading glasses.Mind Over Matter - Get That Song Outta My Head! - We've all had an earworm - that little ditty you just can't get out of your mind. What's going on in your brain when an earworm takes hold? And how can you get rid of it?Vital Signs - A Change of Mind - A 32-year old man sits in a wheelchair motionless, gnawing on a bedsheet and unable to speak. How could a healthy guy get like that in just a few days?Kitt Peak Observatory's Second Chance at Life - Astronomers are ushering in the next generation of mega-telescopes, and aging national observatories, including Kitt Peak in Arizona, must redefine their capabilities to survive the shift.Inside an Astronaut's Gut - Lurking under our skin and inside our bodies are microbe communities that vastly impact our lives on Earth. But what happens when we start living in space?History Lessons - Amphibious Assault - In the 1950s, a sleepy Midwestern town is invaded by leopard frogs. It is not the plot of a classic B movie, but a legitimate scientific phenomenon, and these events offer unprecedented insight into the natural world.20 Thing You Didn't Know About...Your Back - Neanderthals apparently suffered from less lower back pain - and if you've got a lot of it, you might have more in common with chimpanzees than your fellow humans. Concerned? Confused? Intrigued? We've got your back. The cover price for this magazine is $5.99. Due to changes in USPS policy and a recent postage rate increase, I have had to raise my shipping costs. I have additional magazines available for sale on E-Bay. I will apply a shipping discount on multiple purchases. Please contact me if you are interested.
