Magazines: Computers in Science

(Rear cover)
I have one issue of this magazine, the Nov/Dec 1987 issue. It's volume 1, issue 3. And I wonder if it folded after that, because I can't find any mention of it anywhere! It doesn't have an entry at Wikipedia, nor did it come up via a Google Search.

The description in the mag is:
Computers in Science [ISSN 0893-1909] is a magizene dedicated to exploring diverse ways scientists and researchers are using computers in universities, government, and R&D laboratories.

Computers in Science is published bi-monthly by CW Communications/Peterborough Inc., a division of IDG Communications, Inc.

(The rest of the info is just addresses.)

Cost wad $3.95 in US, Canada $4.95.

Guest editorial in this issue was A. G. W. Cameron.

Cameron was a pretty big wig even at this time. Here's his Wikipedia bio:

Alastair G. W. (Graham Walter) Cameron (born 21, June 1925 in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada; died 3 October 2005 in Tucson, Arizona, USA) was a Canadian astrophysicist and space scientist who was an eminent staff member of the Astronomy department of Harvard University. Cameron, the son of a Canadian biochemist, was born in Winnipeg. He earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Manitoba, and a doctorate from the University of Saskatchewan. In 1959 he emigrated to the USA, where he held academic positions at the California Institute of Technology, the Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and at Yeshiva University. In 1973 he became a professor of astronomy at Harvard University and remained there for 26 years. From 1976 to 1982 he was chairman of the Space Science Board of the National Academy of Sciences. He pioneered the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis – the production of chemical elements in stars. He was also the first to theorize that the formation of the Moon was the result of an extraterrestrial impact on the early Earth by an object at least the size of Mars.

Cameron died on October 3, 2005, from heart failure. He was 80 years old. Five days before his death, there was the announcement that Cameron would receive the 2006 Bethe Prize for his work on nuclear astrophysics, which was then 50 years old, but still the basis of current research.

Cape Cod Travel Guide, 2000 edition

Cape Cod Travel Guide, Spring/Summer 2000 edition

I bought this magazine sometime in the year 2000, prior to October 31, anyway! for $4.76.

I never did manage to get to Cape Cod, and probably never will now, but it's always fun to page through these things and look at the photos.

At least, it used to be. Before the Depression hit (can anyone deny that we're living in a Depression right now? If not monetarily for most people, psychologically?)

Anyway, I'm going to go through the back pages, where the advertisements are, and see if any of the businesses that were advertising there 11 years ago are still in business.


Still in business! Although they sell more than straw hats now. They do have sunglasses, sailbags, sailor shirts, rainboots, and Project Love Muffin.
Here's their website: http://www.peterbeaton.com/


Still in business, although they apparently used to have 2 stores (according to their website's store locator page, which says, "Visit our 2 stores" but has only one address) and now they have only one (the same address as the one in the ad.
