Book Review: another winner
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the best american series every year, in fact, with science and nature writing, I've been with since the beginning. And you can always count on BASNW to be good. It's always at the layman's level, so it can be understood and it is a great way for us nonacademics and nonscientist to keep up with the latest advances in science and technology. This year's edition is edited by physicist Brian Greene, which almost worried me, because I prefer life and earth science essays over the harder sciences and technology. But Greene is a popular science writer and he collects a great group of essays, few of which covered his area of expertise.
