Tomorrow's World has attracted
a great deal of interest and positive comment from readers
in Australia and overseas. Here are some extracts from the
many letters we have received from leaders of governments
and business.
"This publication illustrates the diversity and inventiveness
of Australian achievements." The Hon John Howard MP, Prime Minister of Australia
"This book provides an important service by promoting
Australia's best products and technologies." The Hon Paul J Keating MP, (Former) Prime Minister
of Australia
"I congratulate you ... I think it is a very fine publication
..." The Hon John N Button, Special Trade Representative
"Tomorrow's World showcases Australian innovation and
resourcefulness. It demonstrates Australia's capability in
applying research to industry and in meeting society's needs." The Hon Peter McGauran MP, (Former) Minister for Science
& Technology
"The book seems likely to answer a very real need for
something to set out the real breadth and ingenuity of Australian
scientific and technical achievement and capability. Over
a number of years, our diplomatic missions abroad have bemoaned
the lack of any prestige publication illustrating Australian
accomplishment in these fields. It will, therefore, be a welcome
addition to the inventory of books available for presentation
to overseas visitors and to the influential clientele cultivated
through our missions abroad." Senator the Hon Peter Cook MP, (Former) Minister for
Trade
"I was very interested to read of the number and variety
of innovations developed by Australians." The Hon Jeff Kennett MLA, (Former) Premier of Victoria
"It is sure to be a valuable contribution to the promotion
of Australian technology and ingenuity here and abroad." The Hon Richard Court MLA, (Former) Premier of Western
Australia
"I was greatly impressed by your publication ... the
book left me very proud to be an Australian..." The Hon Shane L Stone, (Former) Chief Minister (Northern
Territory)
"This book displays the vast array of talented Australians
who are leading the way in many aspects of technology, science
and many other fields." The Hon Phillip Gude MP, (Former) Minister for Industry
& Employment (Victoria)
"You have effectively demonstrated in an authoritative
and readable form ... that Australia has a fine record of
discovery going back to earliest colonial times and continuing
to the present. Your book will bring this home in an enjoyable
form to all Australians. By illustrating so many examples
of successful innovations, your book will give encouragement
to inventors and scientists..." Dr Charles S Barnes
"I highly recommend this book to all who have an interest
in invention and in particular, Australian innovation. This
book provides an inspiration to all who read it... The true
history of Australia and its people is finally being told."
Mr Andrew R Holt, Company Director & (Hon) President,
Canberra Inventors Association Inc
"If anyone has any doubts about Australia's capacity
for technological inventiveness they should read this book.
It should also be required reading throughout schools, colleges,
libraries and financial centres..." Mr Anthony M Smithyman, Managing Director, Cellabs

science and technology and I am finding great use for it as
a reference..." Mr Lindsay Bevege, (Former) General Manager Corporate
Public Affairs, CSIRO

complex material and presenting it in such a way that can

"Anyone who reads your book (and it should be essential
reading for all Australian high school students) will be left
with little doubt that Australia is very much the clever country.
I am also pleased that the book is very concise and easy to
read." Mr Dario J Toncich, Manager Research Activity, CIM
Centre, Swinburne University of Technology
