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. 606 $aScience$xSocial aspects$zAustralia 606 $aTechnology$xSocial aspects$zAustralia 606 $aScience and civilization 606 $aPublic opinion$zAustralia 610 $ascience--social aspects--australia 610 $atechnology--social aspects--australia 610 $aAustralia 615 0$aScience$xSocial aspects 615 0$aTechnology$xSocial aspects 615 0$aScience and civilization. 615 0$aPublic opinion 700 $aDayton$b Leigh$4auth$0802225 702 $aDayton$b Leigh 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910140193103321 996 $aCurious Country$91803476 997 $aUNINA
