The Best American Series

In an era of misleading headlines and cherry picked facts, good science reporting is hard to find. We re left wondering, should we eat genetically modified food? Do we really want to know if we have an incurable genetic disease before the symptoms appear? The articles in The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2014 challenge these questions, and many others, with guest editor Deborah Blum striving to show readers the curving, complicated line that links discovery and development, choice and consequence. At times meditative, passionate, and always deeply inquisitive, the articles in this collection reveal our world and ourselves, both beautiful and astonishingly complex.
