 Phenominal compilation November 20, 2007
I was a bit skeptical getting a readers-digest type of a book.
However, this turned out to be a very impressive material. A compilation of best articles in science written in 2006, what could be better for a person who likes a good non-fiction read?
I think the editor did a fabulous job selecting a wide range of subjects.
I highly recommend this book and I myself am buying this series now yearly.
 science book November 17, 2007
This is a great series. Don't miss any of it. Back order old issues... it's worth it.
really good October 6, 2007
This is the first edition of this series that I have read. It's pretty good, although, this is more science reporting than science writing. There is a difference, but the articles were well researched and interesting. And they cover a wide variety of topics. Not as good as the Best American Science and Nature Writing, but a great layman's source for the world of science.
Yay for science! June 23, 2007
Delivers what it promises; engaging informative scientific papers from the year. Good read! These books get better every year
Good essays, on average June 12, 2007
The overall result is positive, some essays not that good, some nice, and a few nicer. By the end, it is worth to go through them and discover one by one.
