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?

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).

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.

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.

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.
