The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2015 by Rebecca Skloot, Tim Folger

4.0

Great collection of articles from a variety of sources, covering everything from cave explorers to gene patenting to passenger pigeons. There are SO many science articles published every year, wading through them is nearly impossible unless you know what you're looking for, so this was good for me. One article in particular, about right whales that get caught in fishing lines and are slowly sliced up and exhausted until they drown, kindled an ember of rage in my chest, and has given me a cause I would like to throw my money towards; if you're interested in marine conservation, it's well worth a read. Some of it was not my cup of tea, and some of it was awesome, but I learned something from all of these articles, and I can't ask for more than that.
