Characterizing "identity"
What this magazine attempts to do: A possible analogy: Scientific American can appeal to a broad range of readers with a diverse set of interests, yet provide each reader with a perspective of the substance and value of knowledge for some scientific topic. I hope that CMC Magazine can play a similar role in CMC Studies: to address the reader who has an interest in CMC and some background in one or more of many related fields.Last revision: 31 Jan 1996 by John December
