Skeptic Magazine

[Mash]

Hi, my first thread. I apologise if this is in the wrong section, I was a little unsure on where to ask this and I did search but no answer came up.

I was wondering if anybody knew of any stores or vendors in the UK who stock the American Skeptic magazine? If not could I please get any recommendations for other magazines that you subscribe to that might interest a fellow skeptic?

Cheers for any replies

Not sure of any shops that stock it but I'm pretty sure they do international subscriptions.

This is the perfect thread about a magazine, it's subtitled 'skeptical issues' :D

I don't read any skeptic magazines personally, but there is a British magazine called The Skeptic you might want to check out:

I've put some links to the mags' subscription pages at the bottom of our links page: http://www.ukskeptics.com/links.php

Under 'publications'.

All the mags are usually of good quality. O0

I don't think any of them are sold in newsagents' outlets in the UK but they're all available by on-line subscription.

They tend to be 'skepticism for skeptics' in that they aren't introductory, but you don't have to be an academic to understand the articles.

I like them as they tend to be widely focused and are not all about the paranormal.

Edit to add:

In fact, here are the links - I didn't think of copying them!! ::)

Publications:

Skeptics' magazines well worth subscribing to.

UK:

The Skeptic (http://www.skeptic.org.uk/shop/index.php) - edited by Professor Chris French.

USA:

Skeptical Inquirer (http://csicop.safeshopper.com/1/cat1.htm?572) - the magazine published by CSI.
Skeptic (https://www.skeptic.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=SS&Product_Code=subscription&Category_Code=S) - published by the skeptics society in the USA.

So that's www.skeptic.com for the US magazine, www.skeptic.org.uk for the UK magazine, and www.skeptics.org.uk for this site. Got it?

You'd think there was a competition to see who could get the best name with 'skeptic' in it.

We're at:

www.skeptics.org.uk

www.sceptics.org.uk

www.ukskeptics.com

www.uksceptics.com

and...

you can use all those without the www at the front as well. :cheesy:

I subscribe to The Skeptic, and have found it interesting at times - although overall I'm still on the fence about whether it represents value for money.

Personally, I feel I have learnt more about critical thinking from the web than from magazines - although a really good book is probably more educational than either. Perhaps investing in something from the UKS bookstore would be money better spent ...

We've got a new book store ready to go - just waiting for Melanie to get back to me before setting it live. O0
