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","brand":"Ecco","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43366394069247,"sku":"9780061875007","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780061875007_s600x595.jpg?v=1779901565","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780061875007","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
