Review # 1 was written on 2021-07-21 00:00:00 Thomas Balaskas Twenty-three science-related articles published in the year 2003, nearly half of which I found extremely enjoyable. All were well-written, but the real gems either provided information of high interest, or provoked intriguing insights. My favorites were: “Stripped for Parts” by Jennifer Kahn; “Desperate Measures” by Atul Gawande; “Fun with Physics” by K. C. Cole; “How to Grow Old” by Sherwin B. Nuland; “Cracking the Harvard X-Files” by Kaja Perina; “A Comet’s Tale: On the Science of Apocalypse” by Tom Bissell; “What Galileo Saw” by Michael Benson; “The Patient Predator” by Kevin Patterson; “Cruising on the Ark of Taste” by Michael Pollan; and “Columbia’s Last Flight” by William Langewiesche.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-06-28 00:00:00 Martha Solomon Several really good articles, in spite of the age of this book. Recommended.
