Discover is an American popular science monthly magazine. The first edition appeared in October 1980 in the Time publishing group, 1987 in Family Media which was taken over in 1991 by the Walt Disney Company . Since October 2005, Discover has been owned by two media investment companies. Initially, Bob Guccione, Jr. , the founder of Spin music magazine and Gear magazine , was the editor.
Discover had been planned as a popular science magazine, slightly easier to read than Scientific American , but more detailed and science-oriented than Popular Science . At the time it was first published, other science magazines were appearing, including Science 80 from the American Association for the Advancement of Science , and the older Science News and Science Digest magazines adopted a similar format. Some of the competing magazines failed in the mid-1980s. For Discover , the decision was made to talk to even more speculative issues to a wider audience and, also participated psychological article on. This economically very successful approach led to conflicts with the former editor-in-chief Leon Jaroff, who returned to Time.
Since April 2009 the January / February and July / August issues have been published as double issues.
