"A Quantum of Australian Science brings together over 60 stories of scientific achievement and the work of Australian researchers. Each is drawn from the popular and highly respected ABC television program, Quantum. First screened in 1985 and now its ninth series, Quantum has fascinated viewers with its coverage of Australian science in action.
Using subjects and people discussed in the program, former executive producer, Dick Gilling investigates in further detail the fundamentals of science - from environmental science to medical technology, artificial intelligence and animal behaviour. The topics are covered in a lively and accessible style that will appeal to all readers.
Research in Australia reaches into all fields of scientific endeavour. A QUANTUM OF AUSTRALIAN SCIENCE offers views of this vast panorama - including stories about dinosaur and other fossil discoveries; the birth of the bandicoot; the bionic heartbeat and digital dentistry; and astronomy to underground radio.
Science is an international enterprise in which Australia now holds an honoured position. A QUANTUM OF AUSTRALIAN SCIENCE is a celebration of the work that helped win our reputation."
