About the Cover:

This month's cover illustrates metaphorically the power of experimental science. By using the modern methods described on page 67, students can count molecules without having to become Maxwell's Demons. This and many other experiments in this issue (see page 2) offer creative alternatives to the soportific effect that "counting sheep" experiments can induce.
