The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014 Paperback - 2014

by Tim Folger


From the publisher

"Undeniably exquisite . . . The essays in the collection [are] meditations that reveal not only how science actually happens but also who or what propels its immutable humanity." -- Maria Popova, Brain Pickings

"A stimulating compendium." -- Kirkus Reviews

Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author Deborah Blum selects the year's top science and nature writing from writers who balance research with humanity and in the process uncover riveting stories of discovery across the disciplines.

From the rear cover

The Best American Series
In an era of misleading headlines and cherry picked facts, good science reporting is hard to find. We re left wondering, should we eat genetically modified food? Do we really want to know if we have an incurable genetic disease before the symptoms appear? The articles in The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014 challenge these questions, and many others, with guest editor Deborah Blum striving to show readers the curving, complicated line that links discovery and development, choice and consequence. At times meditative, passionate, and always deeply inquisitive, the articles in this collection reveal our world and ourselves, both beautiful and astonishingly complex.

The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014 includes
Nicholas Carr, Amy Harmon, Barbara Kingsolver, Maggie Koerth-Baker, Elizabeth Kolbert, Seth Mnookin, E.O. Wilson, Carl Zimmer and others
