Gardening & Environment Education & Reference Science & Nature
Bushfires in Australia by A.G. McArthur and R.H Luke is the go-to illustrated reference for anyone curious about how fire behaves across the continent’s forests and grasslands. First released by CSIRO in 1986, this vintage paperback distills decades of field research into clear explanations of ignition, spread, and suppression tactics that still inform today’s fire-management policies.
Clean, tight, and unmarked, this 358-page copy shows only light cover scuffing and occasional page-edge foxing—common for its age—while remaining free of notes, dog-ears, or smoke odors. Detailed line drawings and charts throughout make complex meteorology and fuel-load concepts easy to grasp for students, outdoor enthusiasts, and professionals alike.
Whether you collect Australian environmental history, need authoritative data for work, or want a nostalgic addition to your natural-science shelf, this edition delivers both technical depth and cultural context.
