"A stimulating compendium" on topics from antibiotics to animals, featuring Rebecca Solnit, E.O. Wilson, Nicholas Carr, Elizabeth Kolbert, and many more (
Kirkus Reviews).
"A consistently strong series... Making connections between seemingly unrelated topics can help expand thinking, as seen in the effects of automated navigation on both airplane pilot error and Inuit hunting accidents that Nicholas Carr explores in 'The Great Forgetting.' Sarah Stewart Johnson makes a similar connection between the loss of a 1912 Antarctic expedition and the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in 'O-Rings.'... Essays like Virginia Hughes's '23 and You' investigates the effects of availability of individual genetic information on human interactions, while pieces like Maryn McKenna's 'Imagining the Post-Antibiotics Future' and Kate Sheppard's 'Under Water' remind us of unpleasant futures which we have in large part created ourselves. But Barbara Kingsolver's 'Where it Begins,' a lyrical musing on connectedness, or Wilson's optimistic, bug-loving 'The Rebirth of Gorongosa,' reveal that among the strange, shocking, or depressing, there is still unadulterated joy to be found." -
Publishers Weekly
"Undeniably exquisite... meditations that reveal not only how science actually happens but also who or what propels its immutable humanity." -Maria Popova,
