Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Together these twenty-seven articles on a wide range of today's most current topics in science, from Oliver Sacks, James Gleick, Atul Gawande, and Natalie Angier, among others, represent the full spectrum of scientific writing, proving once again that "good science writing is evidently plentiful" (Scientific American).

Review:

"One of the many pleasures found in this excellent annual is the introductory essay by each volume's guest editor....[T]here is much here to stoke the imagination." Booklist
