The annual collection -- now in its thirteenth year -- celebrating the finest voices in Australian science writing. Should we alter animals' DNA to save them from extinction? What secrets will old ice reveal to us about the Earth's deep past? How is the world's most expensive -- and explosive -- substance made?

Science writing encompasses the vastness of the universe and all the diverse life forms within it. Stories abound in both the microscopic and the astronomical, from the scientists trying to reverse-engineer brain circuitry to the largest radio telescope of its kind on Earth, which could help us detect alien life. This much-loved anthology -- now in its thirteenth year -- selects the most fascinating, thought-provoking, poignant and dazzling science stories and essays from Australian writers, poets and scientists.
