Do not read this if you want to achieve anything in the next 2 months

Robert Holmes
So the Royal Society has just put their entire archive (and I do mean
entire) online and - for the next two months only - it's free. And I've
already discovered that trawling through 17th century issues of
"Philosophical Transactions" is horribly addictive...

Good news, but what articles did you find
interesting ? The search function of the Royal
Society seems to be very bad. Did you find anything
interesting with it ? On first try I found nothing
interesting, but I discovered some websites with a
short list of new available articles, for example
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2006/09/14/royalsoc_archive_open/
Is says 350 years of science available for your
reading pleasure. Hmmh. Many outdated and hardly readable
papers, too (I doubt that anyone will understand much
of Newton's original papers).

More articles are listed here (Halley's description
of his comet, Watson and Crick's unravelling of the
double helix structure of DNA and the first paper
published by Stephen Hawking)
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2006/09/15/nrs15.xml

And finally some scientific lectures from
the Royal Society in form of webstreams:
