Details missing from book listing

[Jess]

Hello, I recently picked up a copy of this book and would be grateful for someone to update the author, cover, and description details on the listing.

I was unable to find any official publisher or author pages but the title and author details are available from the National Library of Australia: https://catalogue.nla.gov.au/catalog/...

I have uploaded photos I took of the front and back covers: https://imgur.com/a/tFq5Gyf

*Title: On the edge of discovery: Australian women in science
*Author: Farley Kelly (editor)
*Description:
Women make up almost half of today’s Australian science graduates. They have become first-class researchers, science teachers, technicians, science journalists – and activists questioning the technological decisions of governments and business.

But little has been written about the generations of women who have enriched Australian science, hitching up their long skirts to search the bush for new botanical species, charting erosion patterns in the High Plains, or pioneering new ideas for teaching science. Nor do we know much about the professional and personal achievements of their counterparts today. Sometimes at the leading edge of discovery, more often confined to the sidelines, Australian women in science have challenged (and confronted) many of society’s expectations.

On the Edge of Discovery is the first full-scale Australian study of women in science. In it, eleven writers trace the history, biography, theory and practice of women as participators in science; our foremothers, our con-temporaries, our future.


Thank you kindly!
