The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2019 by Sy Montgomery, Jaime Green
4.0
A different type of horror story, this collection took me longer than usual to finish but left me wanting more in the end. There were some essays that felt dull to me, a lay person, but overall I felt informed and intrigued by the variety of writing presented. My favorites are:
“The Endling: Watching a Species Vanish in Real Time”
“The Great Rhino U-Turn”
“Deleting a Species”
“How to Not Die in America”
“The Professor of Horrible Deeds”
“The Hidden Toll: Why Are Black Mothers and Babies in the United States Dying at More Than Double the Rate of White Mothers and Babies? The Answer Has Everything to Do with the Lived Experience of Being a Black Woman in America”
