Search Tips
Our search has the following Google-type functionality:
+ (addition symbol)
If you use '+' at the start of a word, that word will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry +Potter
Search results will contain 'Potter'.
- (minus symbol)
If you use '-' at the start of a word, that word will be absent in the search results.
eg. Harry -Potter
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
AND
If you use 'AND' between 2 words, then both those words will be present in the search results.
eg. Harry AND Potter
Search results will contain both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
OR
If you use 'OR' between 2 words, then either or both of those words will be present in the search results.
eg. 'Harry OR Potter'
Search results will contain just 'Harry', or just 'Potter', or both 'Harry' and 'Potter'.
NOT
If you use 'NOT' before a word, that word will be absent in the search results. (This is the same as using the minus symbol).
eg. 'Harry NOT Potter'
Search results will not contain 'Potter'.
" " (double quotation marks)
If you use double quotation marks around words, those words will be present in that order.
eg. "Harry Potter"
Search results will contain 'Harry Potter', but not 'Potter Harry'.
* (asterisk)
If you use '*' in a word, it performs a wildcard search, as it signifies any number of characters. (Searches cannot start with a wildcard).
eg. 'Pot*er'
Search results will contain words starting with 'Pot' and ending in 'er', such as 'Potter'.

In 2003, Fast Thinking Press published a book dedicated to a special breed of Australian hero - winners of the Nobel Prize. It is surprising that it took nearly 90 years for the father and son team of William H and William L. Bragg, winners of the award for physics in 1915, not to mention the other eight laureates at the time, to be commemorated with a book of any kind. Public interest over the initial volume was overwhelming and its success proved that Australians are, indeed, interested in science when it is presented in a coherent and accessible way. As Australia's Nobel list seems to be growing faster than ever before, this current volume is a welcome update. Since the original volume, there have been four more Australian heroes added to the list. Prof Barry Marshall and Dr Robin Warren jointly won the award for physiology or medicine in 2005; Br Elizabeth Blackburn, our first female laureate, was crowned in 2009, also in physiology or medicine; and as luck would have it just prior to press time, another award, this time for physics was handed to Brian Schmidt. All of the original biographies have been reworked, and the new edition incorporates a number of shorter pieces from leaders in various science, technology and innovation fields. Of special importance is a new section devoted to women in science. And, as previously, we include a broad array of profiles of companies and organisations, possibly the largest compilation of Australia's innovation yet published. Our goal, as before, is to honour our national (and sometimes unsung) heroes. As well, it is to inspire Australian youth - and particularly young women - to consider science as a career. Overall, we recognise that the future belongs to a science-literate country. And in that exercise, we hope this second edition on Australia's Nobel Laureates makes a continued impact.
