    Philosophical Transactions.

    The Royal Society Journal, Philosophical Transactions, arguably the first scientific journal, is 350 years old this month. To celebrate the RS is granting free access to all its journal content until the end of the month…

    We think the Royal Society journal*collection*is the most comprehensive archive in science, and it certainly*contains some of the most significant scientific papers ever published.*Information World Review*calls it*“a resource that few in scientific research or history will be able to do without.“

    Seminal research papers include accounts of*Michael Faraday’s ground-breaking series of electrical experiments,*Isaac Newton’s invention of the reflecting telescope*and*the first research paper published by Stephen Hawking.

    Early papers contain fascinating descriptions of*how Captain James Cook preserved the health of his crew aboard the HMS Endeavour*and*the astonishment of 18th century society at the performance of an eight year-old Mozart.

    More recently, our topical publications have covered such issues*as*the discovery of the Higgs boson,*the impact of climate change on vector-borne diseases,*and*the latest developments in*bioinspiration.

    So, what are you waiting for?

    Indeed. Fill ya boots science geeks.

    Of course, the best and relevant science should always be free. For example Climate Change and Trace Gases. James Hansen et al 2007

    Earth's climate is remarkably sensitive to forcings, i.e. imposed changes of the planet's energy balance. Both fast and slow feedbacks turn out to be predominately positive. As a result, our climate has the potential for large rapid fluctuations. Indeed, the Earth, and the creatures struggling to exist on the planet, have been repeatedly whipsawed between climate states. No doubt this rough ride has driven progression of life via changing stresses, extinctions and species evolution. But civilization developed, and constructed extensive infrastructure, during a period of unusual climate stability, the Holocene, now almost 12 000 years in duration. That period is about to end.
    My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.
