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. In our last podcast, I shared the reviews of two of the top ten books.\xa0 In today\u2019s 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
