Product DescriptionSeed is the groundbreaking publication that connects science and society, helping us better understand the topics in science today and how they are affecting our lives.
Like no other magazine, Seed captures the spirit of our times.
Seed is fresh, contemporary, smart, provocative, relevant, and thought-provoking. It's the new voice of science--and the kind of science magazine you've been looking for.
Seed looks at science through a cultural lens. Science as it drives what we see on network dramas and read in literature. Science as it influences politics, science as it relates to forensics, global warming, and the war on terror. Science as it drives consumer culture. Science as it determines the quality and effectiveness of our health care system. And science as it drives our conversation.
Unlike ever before, science is revolutionizing our global culture and impacting each and every one of us. Seed captures and helps shape this unique cultural shift. Seed is the first 21st-century science magazine for our 21st-century culture. Because science transcends borders, Seed covers science wherever it happens--around the globe and right next door. Indeed, Seed is the first international science magazine.
What you'll read in Seed will affect how you live. How you work. How you think about your place in the world. How you feel about issues. In Seed, you'll meet the new generation of thought leaders promoting this science-centric culture from their stations on the cutting edge of change. From bestselling author Chris Mooney to Columbia physics professor Brian Greene to Harvard theoretical physicist Lisa Randall. Seed canvasses the global science landscape for the ideas and issues that are reaching beyond the lab to affect politics, business, the arts, and current events.
Every issue is an eclectic mix that will engage you--and surprise you. Stem cells. Climate change, public health, DNA, and capital punishment.
You'll find out how a renegade group of Harvard students and professors started a scientific revolution. With the Olympics around the corner, you'll explore the mind of a fan. And you'll meet the minds driving our global science culture.
Be part of the revolutionary shift that's brought science and culture together as one. Explore science as the ever-changing force that lies beneath everything. Order your subscription to Seed today!
What Others Say
Stunning, Unusual, and Highly Entertaining
My biggest complaint with this magazine is that it doesn't come often enough. While yes, certainly catered to a more scientifically aware, intelligent crowd, SEED by no means approaches the drudgery of a scientific journal. In each issues is even a thick, tear-out "cribsheet" on basic scientific issues or concepts from global warming and photosynthesis to string theory.
One of the defining characteristics of this magazine that make it so enjoyable is the visual content. Just as much as what's embodied in its articles, these full page photo essay spreads from places like Antarctica or the Nobel prize ceremony offer a rare, beautiful glimpse at those who are working for progress and innovation.
"Science is Culture"
So says the magazine's subtitle. Well, of course. Being bold enough to come out and say so is different, though, in a world where marketing is considered a creative profession and engineering isn't.
This isn't a technical journal. I get "Science" magazine and read it avidly every week, plus a drift of professional magazines and transactions. Seed is something different. It's for the geek who'd rather see a picture of a Nobel winner than of Paris Hilton. (Can you imagine meeting all 295 living Nobelists? This photojournalist did. I'm jealous.) It's for someone who cares as much about what robots should do as what they could do. It's for someone who's willing to learn about urbanization by studying power laws in mammal metabolic rates. ...

Seed
Seed sent a promotional subscription to my work. I enjoyed it so much that i ordered it for myself. I enjoy it and only wish it came out more often!
Great pictures!
I feel like a college grad just having these magazines on our coffee table! When the neighboors or people we want to impress come over, we lay these magazines out, switch the radio to NPR, hide the TV Guide and put on clean sweaters.
The pictures are amazing! The close-up shots are really colorful and it's hard to figure out what kind of plants these seeds came from. If Seed printed 12 issues a year insead of only 6, it would deserve a full 5 stars.
Off to a great start!
For anyone interested in all things scientific these days, we realize that it is becoming nearly impossible to dissect the science from the culture from which it is borne. This is the first time that I have seen an attempt to reconcile the two for a general market; science without a cultural content is equal to the proverbial tree falling in the woods with no one around to hear it fall. Did it happen? A resounding "yes." Was it registered, and therefore informative? A resounding "no." Tremendous kudos must go to the Seed editors for realizing the need to bridge the gap between WHO scientists are, and WHAT scientists are doing. Bringing in E. O. Wilson and his ideas of consilience was an early coup d'etat for the magazine- there is no one in the field ... Read More
