Recensione:
Dalla quarta di copertina:
"There is so much we don’t know, which leads us to make so many irrational decisions that we need scientists and science writers to share their inquiries and discoveries in welcoming and lucid prose. Stellar examples of just this sort of cogent and compelling writing sustains this invaluable and exciting series."—Booklist
The Best American Series
In an era of misleading headlines and cherry picked facts, good science reporting is hard to find. We’re left wondering, should we eat genetically modified food? Do we really want to know if we have an incurable genetic disease before the symptoms appear? The articles in The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014 challenge these questions, and many others, with guest editor Deborah Blum striving to show readers the “curving, complicated line that links discovery and development, choice and consequence.” At times meditative, passionate, and always deeply inquisitive, the articles in this collection reveal our world and ourselves, both beautiful and astonishingly complex.
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014 includes
Nicholas Carr, Amy Harmon, Barbara Kingsolver, Maggie Koerth-Baker, Elizabeth Kolbert, Seth Mnookin, E.O. Wilson, Carl Zimmer and others
[INSERT AUTHOR PHOTO, Author photo © Mark Bennington] DEBORAH BLUM, guest editor, is a Pulitzer-prize winning journalist and the author of five books, including The Poisoner's Handbook.
