Description
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.

Reviews

"The works in this annual anthology are lyrical, emotional, moving, and insightful--proof that long-form science journalism boasts some of our best writers...These pieces challenge us to look deeper and to understand better, to see the beating human heart in the soul of science."--Booklist, starred review "Naturalist Montgomery emphasizes a sense of wide-eyed wonder in this enjoyable anthology. Readers in need of some substantive escapism will appreciate this offering of the previous year's finest science and nature writing."--Publishers Weekly --
