When single issues of The Physical Review number from 300 to 500 pages in spite of the fact that several new journals have been recently started, the physicist who is trying to “keep up” feels pretty much overwhelmed. How can he read, analyze, digest, and assimilate all the new information that might be helpful to him in his own researches or as a teacher?
