Phenominal compilation, 2007-11-20
I was a bit skeptical getting a readers-digest type of a book.

However, this turned out to be a very impressive material. A compilation of best articles in science written in 2006, what could be better for a person who likes a good non-fiction read?

I think the editor did a fabulous job selecting a wide range of subjects.

I highly recommend this book and I myself am buying this series now yearly.

This is a great series. Don't miss any of it. Back order old issues... it's worth it.

really good, 2007-10-06
This is the first edition of this series that I have read. It's pretty good, although, this is more science reporting than science writing. There is a difference, but the articles were well researched and interesting. And they cover a wide variety of topics. Not as good as the Best American Science and Nature Writing, but a great layman's source for the world of science.

Good essays, on average, 2007-06-12
The overall result is positive, some essays not that good, some nice, and a few nicer. By the end, it is worth to go through them and discover one by one.
