Description: Scientific American is an American popular science magazine. Many famous scientists, including Albert Einstein, have contributed articles to it. It has been in print since 1845 and it is the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States. The 80-page August 2016 issues' cover story is: COSMOLOGY - The Emptiest Place in Space - What first appeared as a strange cold spot in an image of the cosmos led to be discovery of something even odder: a vast area of the universe that contains surprisingly little matter.

SPECIAL REPORT ON EDUCATION - The Coding Revolution - From Silicon Valley to the White House, the call for young students to learn computer programming is growing louder. Is coding for all a goal that American schools should be pursuing? Also: Teach the Prof How to Teach - Few young faculty members arrive on campus ready for the classroom.
