Published: Dec. 12, 2023, 8:12 p.m.

I was recently reading the December 7, 2023 issue of \u201cSmithsonian\u201d magazine.

In this issue, I read the article \u201cThe Ten Best Science Books of 2023\u201d written by Bridget Alex, Riley Black, Dan Falk, Shi En Kim, Carlyn Kranking, and Joe Spring.\xa0

In the article they shared their top nonfiction science titles from the past year, selected by \u201cSmithsonian\u201d magazine\u2019s editors and frequent contributors.\xa0 In this podcast, we look at two of their selections:

\u201cFire Weather: A True Story From a Hotter World\u201d by John Vaillant

\u201cOf Time and Turtles: Mending the World, Shell by Shattered Shell\u201d by Sy Montgomery
