Paperback. Zustand: Good. Since its inception in 1915, the Best American series has become the premier annual showcase for the country's finest short fiction and nonfiction. For each volume, a series editor reads pieces from hundred of periodicals, then selects between fifty and a hundred outstanding works. That selection is pared down to the twenty or so very best pieces by a guest editor who is widely recognized as a leading writer in his or her field. This unique system has helped make the Best American series the most respected -- and most popular -- of its kind. The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2003, edited by Richard Dawkins, is another "eloquent, accessible, and even illuminating" collection (Publishers Weekly). Here are the best and brightest writers on science and nature, writing on such wide-ranging subjects as astronomy's new stars, archaeology, the Bible, "terminal" ice, and memory faults.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. New York Times best-selling author and renowned science journalist Ed Yong compiles the best science and nature writing published in 2020.   "The stories I have chosen reflect where I feel the field of science and nature writing has landed, and where it could go," Ed Yong writes in his introduction. "They are often full of tragedy, sometimes laced with wonder, but always deeply aware that science does not exist in a social vacuum. They are beautiful, whether in their clarity of ideas, the elegance of their prose, or often both." The essays in this year's Best American Science and Nature Writing brought clarity to the complexity and bewilderment of 2020 and delivered us necessary information during a global pandemic. From an in-depth look at the moment of the virus's outbreak, to a harrowing personal account of lingering Covid symptoms, to a thoughtful analysis on how the pandemic will impact the environment, these essays, as Yong says, "synthesize, evaluate, dig, unveil, and challenge," imbuing a pivotal moment in history with lucidity and elegance.  THE BEST AMERICAN SCIENCE AND NATURE WRITING 2021 INCLUDES * SUSAN ORLEAN * EMILY RABOTEAU * ZEYNEP TUFEKCI * HELEN OUYANG * HEATHER HOGAN BROOKE JARVIS * SARAH ZHANG and others.…

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. 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. What happens when the planet's most acclaimed journalists investigate the hidden forces shaping our world? A Public Health Crisis: An unflinching investigation into why Black mothers and babies in the United States are dying at more than double the rate of white mothers, revealing the hidden toll of systemic racism. The Insect Apocalypse: A chilling report on the rapid disappearance of the world's insects, and what the loss of "the little things that run the natural world" means for our shared future. Geology and Mass Extinction: A journey 385 million years into the past to find a devastating mass extinction recorded in the rock walls behind gas stations and under the highways of upstate New York. Neuroscience and the Mind: A radical rethinking of the human brain, from the surprising mechanics of the placebo effect to the physical shockwave that powers our nerves. Conservation in the Anthropocene: An intimate look at the last days of the vaquita--the world's most endangered marine mammal--and the "acoustic hell" that defines the life of the modern right whale. …
