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

4.0

As per usual, this is an excellent collection of articles and features written about scientific subjects and figures from the previous year. My only complaint would be the inclusion of an article by Barack Obama on the economic potential of renewable energy industries, which pretty much entirely ignored the moral and existential need for said industries to curtail ecological collapse. It felt gross and pathetic to have that article - which essentially just viewed the topic in cold, status-quo-friendly economic terms - wedged into the center of an otherwise captivating and enlightening collection.
