Featuring articles by leading experts on topics from science policy to ecology (such as Bruce Babbitt and Jane Lubchenko), this new publication from Portland, Oregon attempts to incorporate synthetic, broad perspectives with a host of (familiar) environmental topics. A subscription fee is required to access all articles at the Open Spaces Website, but several interesting sample articles are currently posted for free online viewing. Science writers and scientists interested in widening their perspectives will find this an intriguing resource.
