Book Reviews of The Best American Science & Nature Writing 2005 (Best American)
Book Review: Uneven selection of science essays
Summary: 3 Stars
I agree with other 3 star reviews, the selections are becoming dated but some like the Easter Island story,remain important. Popular science articles fail to use any of the techniques in the science literature. There are no abstracts,no defined conclusions, no graphs,tables or illustrations and no editing for brevity.
