Scientific American is the
oldest continuously published magazine in America. Now current issues of
the magazine are combined with a large backfile of this authoritative
source of scientific and technical information, and are available online
as a stand-alone database. Scientific American Archive Online
is a comprehensive, searchable science and technology resource
containing the full text and graphics of every Scientific American
issue from 1993 to the present. The archive features the writings and
colorful graphics that readers of Scientific American have come
to depend upon and enjoy. Each of the more than 4,000 articles in the
archive is available to view online or to download in color PDF,
and presented exactly as originally printed in the magazine. In
addition to the regular monthly issues of the magazine, users will find
all of the Scientific American special issues included in the
archive as well. Among the topics covered in the archive are:
health and medicine, cosmology and astronomy, chemistry, life sciences,
physics, oceanography, medicine, mathematics, archaeology, and much
more.
