Booklet that aims to provide an alternative option to the study of bushfire. Through the study of fire and its behaviour, and of case studies of flora and fauna and their response to fire, the reader can see why fire behaves the way it does and how Australian ecosystems respond to fire. Studies the ways in which fire is used to manage our environments, and shows the need for the active use of fire in maintaining ecosystems and also the way in which fire is used to provide protection to settlements and to limit the spread and severity of bushfires
