The Best American Essays 2009
AuthorMary Oliver
ISBN0618982728
Addendum to original review, explaining why I have downgraded this to two stars - (italicized material below):

My second criticism is probably more a reflection of my personal taste, and may not be shared by other readers. But I felt that Mary Oliver's background as a poet shone through, with...
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2007
AuthorRichard Preston
ISBN0618722319
"Science is about not knowing and wanting badly to know. Science is about flawed and complicated human beings trying to use whatever tools they've got, along with their minds, to see something strange and new. In that sense, writing about science is just another way of writing about the human condition."...
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2009
AuthorElizabeth Kolbert
ISBN0547002599
I know 'green' is the new hot thing, but this collection seriously suffered from a huge overemphasis on articles about the environment. I'm happy to read them, but I also want to read about physics and neurology and mathematics and biochemistry and other fields I don't even know about! The articles in...

The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2010
AuthorFreeman Dyson
ISBN0547327846
An excellent book in an excellent series. Reading and reviewing it now, some of the information is dated: for example, Dr. Dyson cheerily states that more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere leads to increased growth in plants, and the latest data in 2015 indicate that any benefit from more CO2 is offset...

The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2017
AuthorHope Jahren
ISBN1328715515
Meh. I liked Lab Girl, but her taste is, well, not mine. I expect a science expert to curate a collection that's a little more rigorous and hard to find than Buzzfeed news?

The writing in many of the essays is very blah--Jahren herself is a much better writer than 90% of the articles she selects....
