from today's newspaper:
> The Best American Science Writing 2003. Edited by Oliver Sacks (Ecco
Press, $27.50 hardback, $13.95 paperback). The best science writing "has a
swiftness and naturalness, a transparency and clarity, not clogged with
pretentiousness or literary artifice," says Sacks, a neurologist and the
author of "Uncle Tungsten," "Awakenings" and other books. This wonderfully
eclectic anthology includes engaging explorations into subjects ranging
from botany to physics, cognition to evolutionary biology --- from Brendan
Koemer's discussion of how drug companies market new diseases to Susan
Milius' investigation into the colors of autumn leaves.
