The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2022 by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Jaime Green
informative
4.5
Unexpectedly riveting! This is my first of any Best American series, and it certainly won’t be my last now!
Every topic wasn’t the most interesting to me (I’m looking at you, astrophysics) but I still learned a lot in every single essay. I had heard of a few of these topics or issues, but not the majority so a lot of them were entirely new to me which was great. I enjoyed the breadth and the diversity of topics and authors. I also enjoyed the focus on social issues such as racism/environmental justice/climate change as it impacts people/social determinants of health, etc.
