  Jekyll.comm - Article "Popularised science communication modes in Italian popular science magazines (1788-2002)"
This unprecedented flourishing of science periodicals in the second half of the 18th century is to be understood in the light of the new scientific discoveries and theories, the technological progress in the years of slow industrial development and the rise of positivism.
Science news reporting was already present in the very first popular science magazines where reporting on current issues was one of the most prominent features.
Illustrations were used from the very beginning in science popularisation for at least two distinct purposes: the first was essentially to inform through diagrams and designs whose function was to explain and clarify article contents; the second, which appeared in the late 19th century, rather aimed at arousing readers' interest and curiosity.

 Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier (1743-1794)
This revolution includes the replacement of phlogiston by oxygen in the theory of combustion, the adoption of the systematic nomenclature in use ever since, the dependence on the principle of conservation of matter, the rigorously quantitative mode of analysis.
But science is always a collective enterprise, and the parts of others, of predecessors, associates, and opponents, must be explained; here we have the whole cast, French, British, and European, and not merely the protagonist, the_ultimately tragic protagonist.
In 1788 Lavoisier became chairman of the board of the Discount Bank, founded by Turgot in 1776, and forerunner of the Banque de France.

 PLANETARY SCIENCE: ON THE INTERIOR OF MARS   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
Such a core dynamo may be driven either by compositional convection (which is set in motion by a composition gradient) in a liquid outer core due to solidification of an inner core, or by thermal convection in a fully liquid core due to high heat flux out of the core.
Tanaka, N. Isbell, D. Scott, R. Greeley, J. Guest, in Proceedings of the 18th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference, G. Ryder, Ed.
Mars is now a desert world on which liquid water, because of ambient conditions, is not likely to be found at the surface: average temperatures are below 273 degrees kelvin and atmospheric pressures are at or below water's triple-point vapor pressure of 6.1 millibars.
