Brian Hayes is one of the most accomplished essayists active today - a claim supported not only by his prolific and continuing high-quality output but also by such honours as the National Magazine Award for his commemorative Y2K essay titled "Clock of Ages," published in the November/December 1999 issue of "The Sciences" magazine. (The also-rans that year included Tom Wolfe, Verlyn Klinkenborg, and Oliver Sacks.) Hayes' work in this genre has also appeared in such anthologies as "The Best American Magazine Writing", "The Best American Science and Nature Writing", and "The Norton Reader".
