Science writers get into the game with all kinds of noble,
high-minded ambitions. We want to educate. To enlighten," notes
guest editor Amy Stewart in her introduction to The Best American
Science and Nature Writing 2016. "But at the end of the day, we're
all writers . . . We're here to play for the folks." The writers in
this anthology brought us the year's highest notes in the genre.
From a Pulitzer Prize-winning essay on the earthquake that could
decimate the Pacific Northwest to the astonishing work of
investigative journalism that transformed the nail salon industry,
this is a collection of hard-hitting and beautifully composed
writing on the wonders, dangers, and oddities of scientific
innovation and our natural world. The Best American Science and
Nature Writing 2016 includes Kathryn Schulz, Sarah Maslin Nir,
Charles C. Mann, Oliver Sacks, Elizabeth Kolbert, Gretel Ehrlich,
and others Amy Stewart, guest editor, is the award-winning author
of seven books, including her acclaimed Kopp Sisters novels and the
bestsellers The Drunken Botanist and Wicked Plants. She and her
husband live in Eureka, California, where they own a bookstore
called Eureka Books. Tim Folger, series editor, is a contributing
editor at Discover and writes about science for several magazines.
He lives in Gallup, New Mexico.
