The Best American Science and Nature Writing

I got distracted at the library by a display of all the librarian's favorite books set upright on three shelves. I grabbed this one by Hope Jahren.  Sometimes I need short stories instead of longer ones. To my surprise, I liked this book. Some chapters were difficult to read but most of them were palatable.  The topics were science and nature but also scientists and naturalists.  The people who work in these fields are very interesting. This is a book well worth my time.
