Generally, the world tries to inform the wonders but at the same time also have a great entertainment value. This also explains the under with very lurid headlines and front pages.
Also "scrapes" Welt der Wunder only on the surface of a subject and does not go into the depths. For me it was often the case that the world wonders has made me hungry for an issue and you have to then look even if you just wanted a detailed knowledge. At that time I thought was not so bad, but now it's become very 2013/2014 extreme!
You also realize that you want to pack as many interesting topics in a magazine ... At constant number of pages of course suffers the quality of products. At that time there were very long authors' texts that I have enjoyed reading, now this is limited to a few pages.
Total world is the miracle become an entertainment magazine:
- Visually great packed (lots of really good photos)
- Lurid headlines
- Subjects treated only superficially
- Hardly long, informative texts
- Interviews with (self-proclaimed?) Experts
- Great entertainment value
For me WdW is good reason as evening reading when I have a book at hand. It's relaxing to read, man does not have to really think, but experiencing one or the other thing that was not as obvious.
If you want a real knowledge magazine, you must have access to the more expensive range of science!
Really much more expensive, but topics are covered in depth in every detail and leaves true experts come to talk
