Could the dodo
make a comeback? What does science tell us about the sex in Fifty Shades of Grey? Is giving up meat
really the greenest option? Can you use tweets to spot a psychopath? Do birds
make art? What do the Cold War and climate science have in common? And can a
psychologist interpret your farts?
The Best Australian Science Writing
2013 brings together
great writing about life and the universe, including contributions from poets
and psychologists, comedians and climate commentators, neuroscientists and
novelists, star-gazers and science journalists.
With a

Minchin, this provocative collection is chock-full of intrigue, curiosity and
controversy.
