Editorial Reviews

The diverse ensemble of narrators who present this year’s selection of the best science and nature writing, all with slightly different styles, reflect the diversity of the contributing writers and the topics that interest them. From the wonders of slime molds and the surprising evolutionary history of anuses to the dangers that island nations face due to sea-level rise and the problems with carbon offset programs, this collection explores both the marvels of nature and the destruction humans are wreaking on the environment. Each narrator gives the essays they deliver care and attention, smoothly conveying their overall tone—whether factual, silly, or sorrowful. Fans of popular science and nonfiction in general will not be disappointed by this engaging production. L.S. © AudioFile 2022, Portland, Maine
