From the evolutionary marvels of animal biology to the front lines of global climate change, this anthology explores our living world.
A collection of the best science and nature articles written in 2021, selected by guest editor renowned marine biologist Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and series editor Jaime Green.
Thirty-three selected essays track diverse inquiries, examining the cellular intelligence of slime molds, the cardiovascular mechanics of giraffes, and the global spread of microplastics.
Reporting across five thematic sections, contributors investigate agricultural breakthroughs like perennial grain, community-led forest conservation, and the quiet threats of rising coastal groundwater.
Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, renowned marine biologist and co-founder of the All We Can Save climate initiative, compiles the best science and nature writing of the year.
- Biology: Katherine J. Wu explores the surprising evolutionary history of the digestive tract, examining how sea cucumbers breathe through their posteriors and marine flatworms navigate life with dozens of waste-clearing openings.
- Ecology: Sonia Shah chronicles the international ICARUS initiative, an ambitious project using solar-powered transmitters and space-station receivers to track the migrations of yellow-billed cuckoos and fruit bats.
- Environmental Science: Investigative reporters Corey G. Johnson, Rebecca Woolington, and Eli Murray expose hazardous conditions inside a Tampa battery-recycling facility where workers faced life-threatening concentrations of airborne lead dust.
- Climate Change: Chris Malloy reports on high-desert agrivoltaics in Arizona, where mounting solar panels above gardens cuts water evaporation, protects crops from heat stress, and boosts clean electricity generation.
