About this product

Product Information

A NATIONAL BESTSELLER Sy Montgomery, New York Times best-selling author and recipient of numerous awards, edits this year's volume of the finest science and nature writing. "Science is important because this is how we seek to discover the truth about the world. And this is what makes excellent science and nature writing essential," observes New York Times best-selling author Sy Montgomery. "Science and nature writing are how we share the truth about the universe with the people of the world." And collected here are truths about nearly every corner of the universe. From meditations on extinction, to the search for alien life, to the prejudice that infects our medical system, the pieces in this year's Best American Science and Nature Writing seek to bring to the people stories of some of the most pressing issues facing our planet, as well as moments of wonder reflecting the immense beauty our natural world offers.

4 out of 5 stars
by zambraniAug 04, 2020
Quite descriptive and accurate.
Well presented, and well written essays on scientific topics that are very relevant to our ever changing world, it makes technical matters easy to absorb without ‘dumbing it down’. The subjects vary, which makes the book even more enjoyable. It does require engagement on the reader’s part, but that is well rewarded.
