What worries them, baffles them, and sets their curiosity meter to 10 out of 10? To find out, the Office of the Chief Scientist (OCS) took the nation’s intellectual temperature, surveying 1186 Australians: men and women aged 18 to 65, from all education levels and locations around Australia. The results frame this book: a collection of essays covering the diverse areas of science Australians are curious about. Edited by eminent science writer Leigh Dayton and including a foreword from Australia’s Chief Scientist, Ian Chubb. The collection covers a range of issues, including food and farming technology, environmental upheaval, health, fuel and energy technology and space exploration.ScienceSocial aspectsAustraliaTechnologySocial aspectsAustraliaScience and civilizationPublic opinionAustraliascience--social aspects--australiatechnology--social aspects--australiaAustraliaScienceSocial aspectsTechnologySocial aspectsScience and civilization.Public opinionDayton Leighauth802225Dayton LeighMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQUkMaJRUBOOK9910140193103321Curious Country1803476UNINA
