Greetings, The website has archives available for free, excepting a few recent months. I find it a good way to keep abreast of the field, although alot is too technical for me. The recent issue has a couple of articles of particular interest to sustainability researchers, & I'm going to request it as a free sample which is offered. It is certainly worth the US$10 annual fee for email delivery; of course data overload is a possible consequence. Steve http://scienceweek.com/Title: SCIENCE-WEEK

The news in SCIENCE-WEEK is based on published reports appearing in scientific journals and associated media. The news is carefully selected on the basis of apparent significance to the scientific community of researchers, educators, and policy-makers. After the selection, the task is to present enough background in each report so that the scientific details are for the most part made intelligible to those who are not specialists in that particular field: in general, the biology is written for physicists and chemists, and the physics and chemistry are written for biologists, with an attempt to retain some exactitude in the particular science involved in the news.
