Description: Scientific American is an American popular science magazine. Many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein, have contributed articles to it. It has been in print since 1845 and it is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States. The 80-page March 2017 issues' cover story is: The Future In 9 Big Questions - How smart are we? We changed the world irrevocably and may soon transform ourselves as a species. Here's a status report on the human experiment. GEOLOGY - A History in Layers - What mark will we leave on the planet? ENVIRONMENT - Coping Skills - Will climate change us? POPULATION - A Tale of Two Worlds - Who will be the winners and losers in an increasingly crowded world? ECONOMICS - The Threat of Inequality - Can civil society endure extreme economic disparity? BIOTECHNOLOGY - The Red Line - Will we learn to control our genetic destinies? HEALTH - Living to 120 - Can we defeat aging? ROBOTICS - All Too Human - Would we want to live forever (if we could)? SPACE - Deep Time, Deep Survival - How long will our species last? ESSAY - The Great Unknown - Can we trust our own predictions? From the Editor Letters Science Agenda - When it comes to science, the political conversation is appalling. Forum - The universe is teeming with life-or not. Advances - Medical marijuana could lessen opioid dependence. Chiral molecules in space. An updated kilogram. The Science of Health - Genetically based cancer care faces an uphill climb. TechnoFiles - What should you do with all those obsolete cassettes? Recommended - Global Seed Vault. How to reverse science denial. The search for alien life goes on. Skeptic - Where the known meets the unknown. Anti Gravity - Can cat training be simple? 50, 100 & 150 Years Ago Graphic Science - Urban wealth moves downtown, pushing out the poor. ON THE COVER - "Prediction is very difficult, especially if it's about the future." With this caveat from physicist Niels Bohr in mind, we look at what science has to tell us about the trajectory of the human species. Illustration by Charles Williams.

Due to changes in USPS policy and a recent postage rate increase, I have had to raise my shipping costs.
