 Nature Magazine Collection Year 1999 - 2006 Nature is a prominent British scientific journal, first published on 4 November 1869. It is the world’s most highly cited interdisciplinary science journal. Most scientific journals are now highly specialized, and Nature is among the few journals that still publish original research articles across a wide range of scientific fields. There are many fields of scientific research in which important new advances and original research are published as either articles or letters in Nature.  

Space Sciences: Macmillan Science Library, 4Vol Author(s): Pat Dasch Publisher: Macmillan Reference USA Date: 2002 Format: PDF Language: English ISBN10: 002865546XPages: 1197 From Booklist In this wonderful encyclopedia designed for middle- and high-school students, 341 entries explore the wonders of space. Each volume has a theme. Space Business (volume 1) covers topics such as Communications satellite industry, Law of space, and Space tourism. Planetary Science and Astronomy (volume 2) covers the more scientific aspects, including planetary explorations. Humans in Space (volume 3) treats manned missions and various astronauts, and Our Future in Space has entries for topics such as Asteroid mining, Mars bases, and Military uses of space. The entries in each volume are in alphabetical order and range from a single paragraph to several pages in length, with most being one or two pages long. The front and back matter are the same in each volume and include a few pages of reference tables such as conversion charts, time lines of milestones in space history and human achievements in space, a list of contributors, a table of contents for the set, and a glossary. Volume 1 has a unique time line of “Major Business Milestones in U.S. History.” The index in the first three volumes is specific to the volume only, and there is a cumulative index in volume 4.
