What are some good magazines like the Economist, in other fields?

Consumer reports.

Wired

The New Yorker

Atlantic

I like Utne, The New Yorker, Philosophy Now. I read The Middle East at the dentist office.

” Nexus Magazine ” : www.nexusmagazine.com

The New Yorker

I enjoy reading:
Far Eastern Economic Review
Foreign Policy Review.
Wired.
Saudi Aramco World.
The Atlantic Monthly…
All of these are pretty quality reading in my opinion.
Enjoy

Scientific American
The New Yorker

I read Wired but it’s rather disorganized for my taste.
I keep switching between Time and Newsweek but they both suck.

Some great selections above. I would add National Geographic, The Nation and Vanity Fair to the cut.

@shirsoft I love The Spectator Philosophy Now and Empire the best fim mag ever :-)

For keeping up to date with developments in science, I like New Scientist, but I don’t know if it’s available in the States.

I’m taking my New Yorker subscription to my grave.

@the100thmonkey: Yes, I used to subscribe to New Scientist, though not currently. Equally good—but pricey, as you’d expect from a weekly—is Science News.
