Scientific American is a popular-sciencemagazine, published (first weekly and later monthly) since August 28, 1845, making it the oldest continuously published magazine in the United States. It brings articles about new and innovative research to the amateur and lay audience.
Scientific American (informally abbreviated to "SciAm") had a monthly circulation of roughly 555,000 US and 90,000 international as of December 2005.[1]It is a well-respected publication despite not being a peer-reviewedscientific journal, such as Nature; rather, it is a forum where scientific theories and discoveries are explained to a wider audience. In the past scientists interested in fields outside their own areas of expertise made up the magazine's target audience. Now, however, the publication is aimed at educated general readers who are interested in scientific issues. The magazine American Scientistcovers similar ground but at a level more suitable for the professional science audience, similar to the older style of Scientific American.

Calling on Benjamin Franklin as his chief witness, Dr. Johansen shows
us how the primitive, but surprisingly democratic and enlightened culture of
the American Indian, clarified the thinking of immigrant colonists and even of
the world beyond our shores -- a world tired of the elaborate hierarchies of
kings and nobles and the inherited miseries of their subjects. To the European,
America was another planet. Franklin saw in it the shadow of an imperfect but
practical Utopia.
During the first half of the eighteenth century, the Six Nations of the
Iroquois were our allies in England's war with France. They may be seen as the
friends and equals of our Colonial statesmen. On both sides, there were those
who spoke the other's language fluently. White man and red man sat together
around the Indian Council fires and the record of what they said exists today.
