The ABC's prestigious Boyer Lecture series have, since their inception in 1959, given prominent Australians an opportunity to discuss their work and thinking on major social, scientific and cultural issues. Among the lecturers have been prime ministers, world-renowned scientists, prize-winning authors, media owners, High Court chief justices, controversial social commentators and highly regarded intellectuals.
In this book, Chairman of the Australian Broadcasting Corporation Donald MacDonald has selected a lecture from every series from the last forty years. In this way, 'The Boyer Collection' is an extraordinary record of Australian thought and culture for almost half a century.
