In 1854, Victorian miners fought a deadly battle under the flag of the Southern Cross at the Eureka Stockade. Though brief and doomed to fail, the battle is legend in both our history and in the Australian mind. Henry Lawson wrote poems about it, its symbolic flag is still raised, and even the nineteenth-century visitor Mark Twain called it: "a strike for liberty". Was this rebellion a fledgling nation’s first attempt to assert its independence under colonial rule? Or was it merely rabble-rousing by unruly miners determined not to pay their taxes?

Galileo, Einstein, Curie, Darwin, Hawking - we know the names, but how much do we really know about these people? Galileo gained notoriety over his battle with the Vatican, but did you know that this father of modern science was also an accomplished lute player? And Darwin of course discovered the principle by which new species are formed, but his bold curiosity extended to the dinner table as well. Eureka! explains how these scientific geniuses have shaped our understanding - and how they spent their free time as well.

Many of us know little about Archimedes other than his "Eureka" exclamation upon discovering that he could immerse an object in a full tub of water and measure the spillage to determine the object's weight. That seemingly simple observation not only proved to King Hieron II of Syracuse that a certain amount of silver had been used in what was supposed to be his solid-gold crown, it established the key principles of buoyancy that govern the flotation of hot-air balloons, ships, and denizens of the sea.

In the relatively short history of colonial Australia, one event stands apart, both for its revolutionary spirit and its impact: The Eureka Rebellion of December 3, 1854. This was the only time in Australian history when a government was resisted by free subjects of the Crown in a violent conflict. It only took place in one colony, Victoria, but it was an important event in the evolution of the democratic government in Australia as a whole. The Eureka Rebellion analyzes the chain of events that led to the fighting and its lasting impact.

After the success of his first book In Search of Greener Grass, Graham Field hits the road again with his bargain-basement KLR650, recording his experiences in his inimitable and revealingly honest diary style. The Caucasus region is often overlooked by travelers, but Graham may inadvertently be about to change all that.

There may be many audiobooks in the market on this topic, but most of them are written by experts who assume you already have some background knowledge about Judo and martial arts. This audiobook is different because it’s written specifically for beginners who have no experience at all.

Il fuoco, i vestiti, le armi; il cibo, l’alcol, la scrittura; la medicina, la ruota, le nuove terre. Quella dell’umanità è una storia avventurosa, costellata di snodi fondamentali, piccole e grandi scoperte o invenzioni che hanno cambiato per sempre la nostra civiltà e l’ambiente intorno a noi e ci hanno trasformato da ominidi pelosi ma ingegnosi in esseri umani dotati di humour e gusti raffinati (e chissà se è stato un bene).

Even in the 21st century, the popular image of a scientist is a reclusive genius in a lab coat, mixing formulas or working out equations inaccessible to all but the initiated few. The idea that scientists are somehow smarter than the rest of us is a common yet dangerous misconception, getting us off the hook for not knowing or caring how the world works.

Sifting for insights in an ever changing world Host Misha Saul www.mishasaul.com

Arriving at a clear and powerful insight is harder than it seems. Our pattern-making brains are subject to many biases. We can’t see our blind spots and are often led down the wrong path by tunnel vision. As an industry we don’t think much about how we arrive at an insight; we just do some analysis and assume it’s the best it can be. But is it? Intelligence analysts, doctors, detectives, lawyers, psychologists, and other sense-makers have grappled with questions of cognitive bias and misperception and how these limitations affect their insights.

Dinero, placer, fiestas y mi pasión: las apuestas. Esa es la mundana vida que llevo en Miami, una que podría definirse como un desmadre en todo su esplendor, pero así me gusta a mí. Sin embargo, de un momento a otro mi padre me obliga a pasar el verano lejos de todo eso, en un maldito pueblo que no he pisado en más de una década. Soportarlo tendrá que bastar para poder conservar todos los beneficios que disfruto por ser el hijo de un político exitoso y millonario.
