Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.
What do you need to know to prosper as a people for at least 65,000 years? The First Knowledges series provides a deeper understanding of the expertise and ingenuity of Indigenous Australians.
For millennia, Indigenous Australians harvested this continent in ways that can offer contemporary environmental and economic solutions.
Bill Gammage and Bruce Pascoe show how Aboriginal people cultivated the land by manipulating water flows, vegetation, and firestick practice. Not solely hunters and gatherers, the First Australians also farmed and stored food. They employed complex seasonal fire programs that protected Country and animals alike. In doing so, they avoided the killer fires that we fear today.
Country: Future Fire, Future Farming highlights the consequences of ignoring this deep history and living unsustainably. It details the remarkable agricultural and land-care techniques of First Nations peoples and shows how such practices are needed now more than ever. (back cover)
