Award-winning science writer Danielle Clode tells the complex story of Australia's relationship with fire, from indigenous practices to country fire brigades and royal commissions--as well as her own story of living with the threat of deadly blazes.'If ever there was a book for its time, it is A Future in Flames ... superb' --Adrian Hyland, author of Kinglake-350, in The AgeIn his 2010 review for Readings on the book's first publication, Kevin O'Loughlin (former CEO of the Bushfire Cooperative Research Centre) lauds A Future in Flames as a book that 'deserves a wide audience among all interested in understanding more about bushfires and what we need to do about them.' As he puts it: 'Yes, it treats issues arising from the shocking Black Saturday fires of February 2009 in Victoria. Yes, it touches on the possible impacts of climate change and of a growing population in fire-prone areas. But the distinctive difference in this book is the blending of a valuable historical perspective on fire in the Australian landscape, impressive insights into contemporary policy issues, and personal experiences that draw unanswered questions into sharp relief.'Danielle Clode is an award-winning Australian author. Her work includes essays, natural history writing, science-writing, historical fiction and best-selling children's books. Her books have won the Whitley Award for popular zoology and have been shortlisted for the Children's Book Council of Australia awards. Voyage to the South Seas (2007) won the Nettie Palmer Prize for Non-Fiction and is also in the Untapped Collection. For more visit danielleclode.com.au

This well-informed and deeply personal account analyzes bushfires from various angles and examines the possibility of limiting their disastrous effects. With fires being a constant and ongoing part of Australian history, ecology, and culture, this study shows that, despite repeated disasters throughout the last two centuries, surviving bushfires today has become no easier than during the first European settlements. With rigorous factual research, this record outlines Australia’s significant fires and discusses the aftermath of each. Topics also include climate change, arson, fire behavior, firefighting strategies, and the psychology of survival.

Over Australia's 2019-20 Black Summer bushfire season, scientists estimate that more than three billion native animals were killed or displaced. Many species - koalas, the regent honeyeater, glossy black cockatoo, the platypus - are inching towards extinction at the hands of mega-blazes and the changing climate behind them. In Flames of Extinction, award-winning science writer John Pickrell investigates the effects of the 2019-2020 bushfires on Australian wildlife and ecosystems. Journeying across the firegrounds, Pickrell explores the stories of creatures that escaped the flames, the wildlife workers who rescued them, and the conservationists, land managers, Aboriginal rangers, ecologists and firefighters on the front line of the climate catastrophe. He also reveals the radical new conservation methods being trialled to save as many species as possible from the very precipice of extinction.

Within the Yarra River catchment area nestles the valley of Steels Creek, a small shallow basin in the lee of Kinglake plateau and the Great Dividing Range. The escarpment walls of the range drop in a series of ridges to the valley and form the south-eastern boundary of the Kinglake National Park. The gentle undulations that flow out from the valley stretch into the productive and picturesque landscape of Victoria’s famous wine growing district, the Yarra Valley. Late on the afternoon of 7 February 2009, the day that came to be known as Black Saturday, the Kinglake plateau carried a massive conflagration down the fringing ranges into the Steels Creek community. Ten people perished and 67 dwellings were razed in the firestorm. In the wake of the fires, the devastated residents of the valley began the long task of grieving, repairing, rebuilding or moving on while redefining themselves and their community. In Living with Fire, historians Tom Griffiths and Christine Hansen trace both the history of fire in the region and the human history of the Steels Creek valley in a series of essays which examine the relationship between people and place. These essays are interspersed with four interludes compiled from material produced by the community. In the immediate aftermath of the fire many people sought to express their grief, shock, sadness and relief in artwork. Some painted or wrote poetry, while others collected the burnt remains of past treasures from which they made new objects. These expressions, supplemented by historical archives and the essays they stand beside, offer a sensory and holistic window into the community’s contemporary and historical experiences. A deeply moving book, Living with Fire brings to life the stories of one community’s experience with fire, offering a way to understand the past, and in doing so, prepare for the future.
