The annual collection – now in its tenth year – celebrating the finest voices in Australian science writing.
Can fish feel pain? Does it matter if a dingo is different from a
dog? Is there life in a glob of subterranean snot? Science tackles some
unexpected questions. At a time when the world is buffeted by the effects of a
pandemic, climate change and accelerating technology, the fruits of scientific
labour and enquiry have never been more in demand. Who better to navigate us
through these unprecedented days than Australia's best science writers?
Now in its tenth year, this much-loved
anthology selects the most riveting, poignant and entertaining science stories
and essays from Australian writers, poets and scientists. In their expert hands
such ordinary objects as milk and sticky tape become imbued with new meaning,
while the furthest reaches of our universe are made more familiar and
comprehensible.
With a foreword from Nobel laureate and
immunologist Peter C Doherty, this collection brings fresh perspective to the
world you thought you knew.
