Category : History

Book Description
The papers cover an appropriately wide range of topics, but most take up themes that have loomed large in Rhys' research. Perhaps foremost amongst these has been his career-long concern with the age, nature and impact of initial human colonization in Greater Australia.

Culture, Ecology and Economy of Fire Management in North Australian Savannas
Author: Jeremy Russell-Smith
Publisher: CSIRO PUBLISHING
ISBN: 0643099999
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
This engaging volume explores the management of fire in one of the world’s most flammable landscapes: Australia’s tropical savannas, where on average 18% of the landscape is burned annually. Impacts have been particularly severe in the Arnhem Land Plateau, a centre of plant and animal diversity on Indigenous land. Culture, Ecology and Economy of Fire Management in North Australian Savannas documents a remarkable collaboration between Arnhem Land’s traditional landowners and the scientific community to arrest a potentially catastrophic fire-driven decline in the natural and cultural assets of the region – not by excluding fire, but by using it better through restoration of Indigenous control over burning. This multi-disciplinary treatment encompasses the history of fire use in the savannas, the post-settlement changes that altered fire patterns, the personal histories of a small number of people who lived most of their lives on the plateau and, critically, their deep knowledge of fire and how to apply it to care for country. Uniquely, it shows how such knowledge and commitment can be deployed in conjunction with rigorous formal scientific analysis, advanced technology, new cross-cultural institutions and the emerging carbon economy to build partnerships for controlling fire at scales that were, until this demonstration, thought beyond effective intervention.
