A review by coffeedragon
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2022 by Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, Jaime Green
4.0
I actually tried reading this one closer to the time I got it (I think) because I very clearly remember the first story. Actually, it's such a great opener and it's very hard to forget a topic like that! But after that...well, the essays didn't hit as hard 😂
Still, I am glad I read this book especially once we get into the meat. While I didn't love all the essays, I found myself especially interested in the environmental and science pieces (I thought I'd enjoy the more animal based one buuuut, they were just ok). In fact, some of them still have me open-mouthed in awe, shock, and slight disgust. They're a definite call to action but clearly written before the genocide happening, which I've heard has been really bad for the environment. Where does this leave us now? I wonder
