K12Science Podcast: Two More of the Best Science Books of 2023
I was recently reading the December 7, 2023 issue of “Smithsonian” magazine.
In this issue, I read the article “The Ten Best Science Books of 2023” written by Bridget Alex, Riley Black, Dan Falk, Shi En Kim, Carlyn Kranking, and Joe Spring.
In the article they shared their top nonfiction science titles from the past year, selected by “Smithsonian” magazine’s editors and frequent contributors. In our last podcast, I shared the reviews of two of the top ten books. In today’s podcast, we will look at the reviews of two more books from the list:
- Crossings: How Road Ecology is Shaping the Future of Our Planet by Ben Goldfarb
- Starborn: How the Stars Made Us (and Who We Would Be Without Them) by Roberto Trotta
