Bushfires in Australia by A.G. McArthur and R.H. Luke is the classic 1986 CSIRO paperback that forestry students, firefighters, and outdoor buffs still reach for first. This illustrated reference distills decades of field data into clear explanations of how fire behaves in eucalypt forests and grasslands.
The 358 pages remain crisp and unmarked, with only faint edge foxing on a few leaves and light cover scuffing from shelf life. A tight spine means it opens flat for quick consultation in the lab, classroom, or fire tower.
Collectors value this vintage edition for its pioneering fire-danger meter and its lasting influence on Australian firefighting policy. A smoke-free, dog-ear-free copy like this is increasingly scarce, especially in such tidy internal condition.
Add this authoritative title to your natural-history shelf or professional library and keep Australia’s bushfire science within easy reach.
