The August issue of Seed hits newsstands today, and ScienceBlog's own Carl Zimmer wrote the cover story: "The Meaning of Life" (page 68), which explores the interface between philosophy and science.
Also in the new issue: PZ's column, this time discussing mammalian vertebrae (page 24); an essay by Chris Mooney on the role of science writers in the developing world (page 26); and a feature by Jonah Lehrer about the bizarrely biological dynamics of our cities (page 54).

Virginia Hughes (Ginny -- and I think I can call you Ginny):
Seed's "The Meaning of Life" should be quite a chew.
Looking forward to the issue, as usual, and the answer to the age old question it addresses.
I can barely wait to finally discover what Life is all about. Whew.

I like the new Incubator department. Maggie Wittlin's article was humbling and excellent.
