The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson (2010) - a retrospective. Most of these can be found in earlier collections (2 stories not in other collections / one original) - but if you want a single-volume survey, this would probably do fine. This set of 22 stories includes 4/8 of The Planet on the Table (1986) and 11/15 of Remaking History (1991.) Overlap with the British set of collections is 6/11 of Down and Out in the Year 2000 (1992) and 9/14 of Vinland the Dream (2002.)
