JOM is a monthly publication of TMS--The minerals, metals, and materials society. It covers a wide range of materials topics. I expecially like the overview articles, which, in four or five pages pack lots of information. Further, the historical articles about metallurgy and materials in ancient civilizations will interest those of you who like to read about history in general, and science history, in particular.

Now, I am happy to learn that I can share with you all a sample of the electronic, page-turning version of JOM at no charge through The Minerals, Metals & Materials Society. There is absolutely no commitment required on your part. Here are the instructions to access the electronic version of JOM.
