From the elemental forces that drive our expanding universe to the delicate hairs on the back of your neck, science offers talented writers the kind of scope that other subjects simply can't match. This dynamic genre of Australian writing has never, until now, been showcased in an anthology. With a foreword by Nobel Prize winner Peter Doherty, The Best Australian Science Writing 2011 is a landmark book. Showcasing selections from the work of renowned communicators such as Tim Flannery, Germaine Greer, Anna Funder and Paul Davies, this book is an inspiring exploration of the most exciting, elegant, powerful, and important writing about science and nature published in Australia and by Australians.

Es ist groß, dunkel und im wahrsten Sinne des Wortes maßlos: das Universum. Geht es um das Universum und seinen Ursprung, geraten Naturwissenschaften und Philosophie schnell an ihre Grenzen. Trotzdem oder vielleicht auch gerade deshalb gibt es hier viel Spannendes zu berichten. Wie entstehen Sterne, Planeten und Galaxien, wie wirken die Naturkräfte, was ist dunkle Materie, existiert das Universum ewig? Das sind nur einige der Fragen, auf die Sie in diesem Buch eine verständliche Antwort bekommen.
