Reviews
This is a compilation of the "best" of Smithsonian magazine. It contains 37 articles from issues dating back to 1971. The selection of topics is broad, representative of the coverage of the magazine; it includes animals, plants, sea lore, historical anthropology, and some literary explorations. The book will be an important addition to libraries, especially school libraries, without a subscription to the magazine, but it may not be necessary for libraries with a well-bound set in good condition.
