Books like The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2017

Meh. I liked Lab Girl, but her taste is, well, not mine. I expect a science expert to curate a collection that's a little more rigorous and hard to find than Buzzfeed news? The writing in many of the essays is very blah--Jahren herself is a much better writer than 90% of the articles she selects. Climate change is VASTLY overrepresented in the 'science', crowding out most other sciences and math. The essays about the lives of scientists tries to be progressive, but it's basically all about being a woman scientist, rather than a scientist...who is also a woman. I mean, no real surprise considering Jahren's own work and agenda, but...it got very samey. I normally love this series, but this was a thumbs down from me. I'll have to see who the editor is next year BEFORE I buy--I got much more fun from hunting down the Other Recommended list by series editor Tim Folger in the book's last pages. I wish he'd take the helm.
