The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2011: The Best American Series

From Barnes & NobleDon't expect this installment of the popular Best American Science and Nature Writing series to be forbiddingly technical. On her website, guest editor Mary Roach confesses, "I often write about science, though I don't have a science degree and must fake my way through interviews with experts I can't understand." With that winning unpretentiousness, Roach seems a perfect choice to select science and nature articles that general readers can enjoy. (P.S. Her modesty aside, former Discover Great New Writers author Roach has amassed an impressive, if unconventional bibliography that includes Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers and Bonk: The Curious Coupling of Science and Sex.)
