James Gleick, whose \u003ci\u003eChaos\u003c\/i\u003e redefined how we understand complexity, selected pieces that pull medicine's hidden failures into the light. Oliver Sacks, the incomparable neurologist-poet, chose writing as tender and precise as his own. Atul Gawande, Natalie Angier, Sylvia Nasar, Timothy Ferris -- each editor's two picks become a kind of intellectual self-portrait.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom the operating theater to the cosmos, from the politics of dietary fat to the inner life of a parrot, these twenty pieces represent a decade of fearless, essential science writing. With an introduction by Jerome Groopman, \u003ci\u003eThe Best of the Best American Science Writing\u003c\/i\u003e is not just a survey of our times -- it is an argument for why science writing matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor a decade, Ecco has published the most outstanding science writing in America, collected in highly acclaimed annual volumes edited by some of the most impressive and most important names in science and science writing today: James Gleick, Timothy Ferris, Matt Ridley, Oliver Sacks, Dava Sobel, Alan Lightman, Atul Gawande, Gina Kolata, Sylvia Nasar, and Natalie Angier.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow series editor Jesse Cohen invites the previous guest editors to select their favorite essays for this one-of-a-kind anthology.
