I just finished up The Best American Science and Nature Writing 2008, which I had to actually purchase. This alone is high praise as I typically can't be motivated to seek out a book that can't be transferred to the library 2 miles down the road.
Lots of interesting pieces in the book. It's to close to dinner time to go into more detail now, but here is my favorite line.
From A Mighty Wind published in Outside magazine:
"From the top of a 164-foot-tall metal shaft perched on the small Danish island of Samso, the wind can just about suck the eyelashes off your face."
From a sciene article! Unfortunately, I didn't find the rest of the article as provocative as the opening line.
