For each volume, a series editor reads pieces from hundreds of periodicals, then selects between fifty and a hundred outstanding works. That selection is pared down to the twenty or so very best pieces by a guest editor who is widely recognized as a leading writer in his or her field. This unique system has helped make the Best American series the most respected -- and most popular -- of its kind.\u003cbr\u003e The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2004, edited by Steven Pinker, is another \"provocative and thoroughly enjoyable [collection] from start to finish\" (Publishers Weekly). Here is the best and newest on science and nature: the psychology of suicide terrorism, desperate measures in surgery, the weird world of octopuses, Sex Week at Yale, the linguistics of click languages, the worst news about cloning, and much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Folger, Steven Pinker\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0618246983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780618246984\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mariner Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/14\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 209\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.52w x 0.63d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/30\/2004 pg. 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/01\/2004 pg. 289","brand":"Tim Folger","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43981064634623,"sku":"9780618246984","price":18.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3dd61a0f-fba0-415a-888f-d66ee8c64280.jpg?v=1683253464","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-best-american-science-and-tim-folger-9780618246984","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
