Sejarah awal
The Popular Science Monthly, as the publication was originally called, was founded in May 1872 by Edward L. Youmans to disseminate scientific knowledge to educated laypeople. Youmans previously worked as an editor for the weekly Appleton's Journal and persuaded them to publish his new journal. The initial issues are mostly periodic reprints of English. The journal became the channel for the writings and ideas of Charles Darwin, Thomas Henry Huxley, Louis Pasteur, Henry Ward Beecher, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, Thomas Edison, John Dewey, and James McKeen Cattell. William Jay Youmans, Edward's brother, helped find the Popular Science Monthly in 1872 and also an editor. He became editor in chief of Edward's death in 1887. The publisher, D. Appleton & amp; The company, forced for economic reasons to sell the journal in 1900.
James McKeen Cattell became editor in 1900 and publisher in 1901. Cattell has a background in academics and continues to publish articles for educated readers. In 1915 the reader declined and published the journal of science was a financial challenge. In the September 1915 editorial, Cattell recounted these difficulties to his readers and announced that the name Popular Science Monthly had been "transferred" to a group that wanted a name for a public magazine, a publication that fitted a better name. The existing journals will continue the academic tradition as Monthly Scientific . Existing customers will remain subscribed with new names. Monthly Scientific was published until 1958 when it was absorbed into Science .
The Modern Publishing Company earns the name Popular Science Monthly . The company had purchased Electrician and Mechanic magazine in 1914 and over the next two years combined several magazines into a science magazine for the general public. The magazine has a series of name changes: Electricity and Modern Mechanics , Popular Electrical and Modern Mechanics , Modern Mechanics and finally Front of the World , before the publisher purchases the name Popular Science Monthly . The October 1915 edition was titled Popular Science Monthly and World's Advance . The volume number (Volume 87, No. 4) belongs to Popular Science but the contents are World's Advance . The new editor is Waldemar Kaempffert, former editor of Scientific American.
Changes in Popular Science Monthly are very dramatic. The old version is a scientific journal containing eight to ten articles in the 100-page edition. There will be ten to twenty photographs or illustrations. The new version has hundreds of short, easy-to-read articles with hundreds of illustrations. Editor Kaempffert writes for "home craftsmen and hobbyists who want to know something about the world of science." The circulation doubled in the first year.
From the mid-1930s to the 1960s, the magazine featured fictional stories of Gus Wilson's Model Garage, which centered on car problems.
The annual review of changes to the new year's model cars ran in 1940 and '41, but did not return after the war until 1954. This continued until the mid-1970s when the magazine returned to publish new models on issues when information become available.
From 1935 to 1949, the magazine sponsored a series of short films, produced by Jerry Fairbanks and released by Paramount Pictures.
From July 1952 to December 1989, Popular Science brought Roy Doty Unwritten Workshop as a regular feature.
From July 1969 to May 1989, the cover and contents lists the subtitle, "The What's New Magazine." The cover was removed subhead of the following month and the contents page was removed in February 1990. In 1983, the magazine introduced a new logo using the ITC Avant Garde font, which was used until the end of 1995. In the next 11 years, its font changed 4 times (in 1995 , 1997, 2001, and 2002, respectively). In 2009, this magazine used a new font for its logo, which is used until January 2014 edition.
