Fire across the Desert is the history of one of most significant defence undertakings Australia has embarked upon in peacetime. For a third of a century the United Kingdom and Australia co-operated closely in building and operating a major missile testing range which at its peak reached far across our continent. This joint project began under the Chifley government and continued unbroken until 1980. Australia's participation in the joint project was one of the key determinants in shaping our defence policy, and helped us come of age as a scientifically and technologically oriented nation. The joint project indisputably accelerated the formation of a competent body of defence science staff in Australia and was a catalyst for the formation of today's Defence Science and Technology Organisation. Australia's approach to defence has, of necessity, changed fundamentally since the earlier post-war years, but much of the expertise gained on Woomera work has since flowed into current projects in keeping with our national defence priorities.

Kuwait is a study in contrasts. Through stories, essays, poetry, and photographs, Make Fire in the Desert attempts to interpret that contrast through the eyes of a foreigner who had 1427 days to unredecipher Kuwait. Perched atop the Arabian Gulf and pinched between its stubborn siblings Iran, Iraq, and Saudi Arabia, Kuwait often finds that it can't quite rise above family squabbles to make its voice heard. Recent history has brought Kuwait's fires to the edge of the world's consciousness, from sabotaged oil wells after the Gulf War to a war smoldering next door. Lines on modern maps give it political shape, although tribes and families truly define its spread across the desert. Its history as a country is brief, and its youth often finds itself at odds with the length and breadth of its Arabian history. Oil wealth, also a young reality, provides the opportunity to import all things new and shiny, allowing lifestyles and appearances which are embraced by some, yet derided by others. A common verb one hears translated from Arabic to English is "make," a concept which seems to encompass every action and intent; in addition to creating, making serves myriad purposes and meanings, from wanting to being to needing. In the souks, one hears, "I will make special price for you." On the dusty gaps between buildings which serve as playgrounds, the children "make soccer." In front of the government buildings, in times of unrest, the youth "make protest." Kuwait, ever proud, ever flawed, ever misunderstood, is quietly making fire in its desert for its citizens and the world to see.

A pulse-pounding thrill ride, where a teen girl must participate in a breathtaking race to save her brother's life--and her own. Time is slipping away. . . . Tella Holloway is losing it. Her brother is sick, and when a dozen doctors can't determine what's wrong, her parents decide to move to the middle of nowhere for the fresh air. She's lost her friends, her parents are driving her crazy, her brother is dying--and she's helpless to change anything. Until she receives mysterious instructions on how to become a Contender in the Brimstone Bleed. It's an epic race across jungle, desert, ocean, and mountain that could win her the prize she desperately desires: the Cure for her brother's illness. But all the Contenders are after the Cure for people they love, and there's no guarantee that Tella (or any of them) will survive the race. The jungle is terrifying, the clock is ticking, and Tella knows she can't trust the allies she makes. And one big question emerges: Why have so many fallen sick in the first place? Victoria Scott's breathtaking novel grabs readers by the throat and doesn't let go.

One girl sets out on a journey across the treacherous Arizona desert to rescue a young pilot stranded after a plane crash in this gripping story of survival, friendship, and rescue from a bestselling and award-winning author. Twelve-year-old Jolene spends every day she can at the library watching her favorite livestream: The Desert Aviator, where twelve-year-old “Addie Earhart” shares her adventures flying an ultralight plane over the desert. While watching this daring girl fly through the sky, Jolene can dream of what it would be like to fly with her, far away from her own troubled home life where her mother struggles with a narcotic addiction. And Addie, who is grieving the loss of her father, finds solace in her online conversations with Jolene, her biggest—and only—fan. Then, one day, it all goes wrong: Addie's engine abruptly stops, and Jolene watches in helpless horror as the ultralight plummets to the ground and the video goes dark. Jolene knows that Addie won’t survive long in the extreme summer desert heat. With no one to turn to for help and armed with only a hand-drawn map and a stolen cell phone, it's up to Jolene to find a way to save the Desert Aviator. Packed with adventure and heart, Across the Desert speaks to the resilience, hope, and strength within each of us. Don't miss Dusti Bowling's new novel, Dust, available for preorder now.

Fire is pivotal to the functioning of ecosystems in Australia, affecting the distribution and abundance of the continent's unique and highly diverse range of plants and animals. Conservation of this natural biodiversity therefore requires a good understanding of scientific processes involved in the action of fire on the landscape. This book provides an up-to-date synthesis of current knowledge in this area and its application in contemporary land management. Central to the discussion is an exploration of the concept of the fire regime and its interactions with biodiversity.
