A review by jshepard
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2018 by Sam Kean, Tim Folger

4.0

I have read this book every year for quite a few years. It is updated annually and consists of a curated list of magazine articles focused on nature and science. Altho in cab obviously read the articles in the magazines, I find the curating to really add value. I always find articles that deliver delightfully unexpected information e.g. this year ... a guy is trying to resurrect the woolly mammoth in Siberia (along with a recreated habitat), the neolithic revolitionwas a disaster for humans, 8/17/17 was the most prolific day of dats in a century for astrophysics, etc.
