The Oxford Book of Modern Science Writing is an anthology of well-respected scientific writings, arranged and introduced by Richard Dawkins of the University of Oxford. Published first in March, 2008, it contains writings on many topics from a diverse variety of authors, which range in length from under a page to approximately eight pages. All inclusions are dated post-1900, and include poetry, anecdotes, and general philosophical musings. It has received extremely favourable reviews thus far, with New Scientist proclaiming that "if you could only ever read one science book, this should probably be it".[1]
