A review by kevinalbrecht
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2008 by Tim Folger, Jerome Groopman

Interesting and varied collection. Reading these made me realize, however, that the place for collections like this is disappearing. Much of the content in here is the length of a long blog entry, which is the format I actually read most of my science from. The greatest thing about reading science on the internet versus dead tree form is that on the internet, it is generally from the originating scientist himself, whereas on paper, it is usually a journalist who inevitably seems to get some of the science wrong.
