"The central task of science writing for a broad audience is...how to make science human and enjoyable without betraying nature. The best writers achieve that end by two means. They present the phenomena as a narrative...and they treat the scientists as protagonists in a story that contains...the mythic elements of challenge and triumph."

Edward O. Wilson
