reviewed The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2010 on December 27, 2015 The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2010
An excellent book in an excellent series. Reading and reviewing it now, some of the information is dated: for example, Dr. Dyson cheerily states that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to increased growth in plants, and the latest data in 2015 indicate that any benefit from more CO2 is offset and then some by additional heat, drying, and the spread of pests.
Still, it's a wide-ranging book with selections from some great writers on subjects from space to neuroscience to the environment. Highly recommended.
