Book Reviews of The Best American Science Writing 2006 (Best American Science Writing)
Book Review: Phenominal compilation
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
