The prestigious science magazine "Scientific American" is published this week also in Hebrew, in a joint production with the "Ort" network.
"Scientific American", has been published continuously for 157 years. Today it is distributed in 15 languages. Hebrew will be the 16. Its editors have always been proud that among the authors were, among others, the genius of the century Albert Einstein, the atomic physicist Niels Bohr and Hans Bethe, the winner of the Nobel Prize in quantum physics Erwin Schrödinger.
"Scientific American" in Hebrew, will include translated articles and columns, the graphics and illustrations are from the American source. There will also be book reviews, recommendations, riddles and mental "warm-up" exercises, jokes and science for beginners. The entrepreneurs said that it was adapted to high school students in the upper classes in the scientific-technological majors.
The editors of the journal in Hebrew are: Dr. Eli Isenberg (VP for R&D and training at Ort) and Dr. Alexander Manes. Scientific advisors: Prof. Adin Stern, Prof. Mel Rosenberg, Dr. Shlomo Fisher, Prof. Natan Sharon, Prof. Itamar Wilner and Prof. Mordechai Milgrom.
The system also ensured reference to the Israeli angle to research and development in universities and profile articles on scientists in the country. Ort will put up a website for the journal, with a link to the American magazine's website.
In the first issue, there is a column by a personality known to the readers of the Yden site - especially in the Israeli skeptic section. This is Michael Shermer from the website Skeptic.com, who compares the stories of the people with religious beliefs and adds the law according to which the qualities of intelligent beings who are more advanced than us may be similar to the qualities that religious people ascribe to God.
In the field of evolution, Kate Wong reviews the way in which birds developed wings. (Scientist Evolution in Action deals with this, among other things).
The topic that gets expanded is the cloning, for the first time, of a human embryo and how cloning is done for healing purposes. Of course, the moral aspect is also taken into account.
The magazine, written in fluent Hebrew, joins Galileo - the old original Israeli magazine that renewed its life last month after a six-month hiatus (soon a separate article on this). And to the popular science magazine.
The knowledge site welcomes any addition to the rich world of educated readers.
