Portal:Popular Science Monthly
Popular Science is a monthly collection of articles about technology and science. Originally intended for the educated layman, the format changed considerably in 1915 to target the general public. It was founded as Popular Science Monthly in 1872 by Edward L. Youmans who edited it until his death in 1887 when his brother, William Jay Youmans, became editor-in-chief. In 1900, James McKeen Cattell became editor-in-chief.
In 1915 the name was acquired by The Modern Publishing Company, and starting from the October 1915 issue (Volume 87 Issue 4) Popular Science Monthly was merged with World's Advance, taking on the format of the latter as a science magazine for the general public. The Scientific Monthly was launched by James McKeen Cattell at the same time as a continuation of the old format.
