Review # 1 was written on 2016-10-12 00:00:00 Robert Varady I love the Best American series. Wonderful way to sample some of the periodicals I don't normally read and makes super "before bed" reading when you don't want an exciting book to keep you up half the night. I never fail to learn something new, and usually something important.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-12-27 00:00:00 Gerald Pigg 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.
