took way longer than previous volumes to finish ... some of the stories just didn't grab me, also heard some things about Freeman Dyson that made me wonder if our worldviews are compatible.
faves: The Monkey and the Fish - Philip Gourevitch, Hearth Surgery - Burkhard Bilger, Darwin's First Clues - David Quammen, All You Can Eat - Jim Carrier, The Sixth Extinction? - Elizabeth Kolbert

Faves:
Tom Wolfe: "One Giant Leap to Nowhere"
Jim Carrier: "All You Can Eat"
Otherwise, solid writing, as always, but I wanted more science, less nature.

As with any collection of items, some of these were more up my alley than others. Specifically the ones focusing on astronomy and neuroscience, which were more "science" than "nature," but I also found most of the evolutionary biology items interesting.
As far as the articles on climate change, I favored the ones that offered nontraditional or surprising solutions to the emissions problem.
A few of the articles I found... well not necessarily boring but just not written in a way that I thought merited their inclusion in this collection. But I guess who am I to question Freeman Dyson, right?
