Books of essays by various authors are always fun. If you don't care for the style of the author you're currently reading, there's always the next one. And since few topics can match science for new, novel, interesting, and thought-provoking discoveries, I nominate
The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2013, edited by Siddhartha Mukherjee.
Available at
Amazon Ca,
Amazon US,
Barnes & Noble,
Kobo, and

Quote:
Pulitzer Prize–winning author Siddhartha Mukherjee, a leading cancer physician and researcher, selects the year’s top science and nature writing from journalists who dive into their fields with curiosity and passion, delivering must-read articles from a wide array of fields.
Some of the more intriguing sounding titles in this collection of essays include "On Tenderness", "Beyond the Quantum Horizon", "Is Space Digital?", "The Sweet Spot in Time", "Machines of the Infinite", "Altered States", "Super Humanity", "Is Facebook Making Us Lonely?", "The Wisdom of Psychopaths", and much more.
