Download or read book Safer Gardens written by Lesley Corbett and published by Australian Scholarly Publishing. This book was released on 2021-07-02 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Destructive bushfires are increasing in frequency and intensity around the world. For people living in fire prone areas there are no reliable guides about which plants have low flammability and which are frighteningly flammable. Safer Gardens is that guide, with over 500 plants assessed, based on fire research from around the world. Readers can look up a plant in the Plant Flammability Table to get an idea of its flammability then turn to the A–Z for more detailed information. The book contains advice about ways to create a more firesafe garden, including the need to carefully manage the use of mulch and hedges. This is citizen science, written by a gardener for other gardeners. Complex and potentially confusing science is made comprehensible and usable, to help you make your garden and hence your house safer.

This book was released on 2013-07 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to bring about a general community awareness of ALREADY KNOWN CONTRIBUTING FACTORS and PRECAUTIONS that can be taken to prevent the constant re-occurrence of PREDICTABLE childhood accidents that occur to children aged from 0 to 14 years of age. PREVENTION is BETTER than CURE - SOMETIMES there is NO CURE When a baby is born, the parents are not magically bestowed with "all the knowledge and skills of child rearing". This has to be learned. "NOT the HARD WAY by TRIAL and ERROR" Rearing children in such a way can lead to a child having to pay a very high price for his learning experience and the Carer' at the time of the accident become deeply affected by feelings of regret and sorrow. It makes more sense for parents to FIND OUT BEFORE rather than AFTER an accident has occurred the precautions they could have taken. IF ONLY THEY HAD KNOWN.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Graphic accounts of Australia’s worst disasters – historical as well as events of recent years. From the Ash Wednesday bushfires of 1983 to the implosion of the Royal Canberra Hospital in 1997, and from the shocking Granville railway crash in 1977 to the Sea King helicopter crash of 2005, Australia's history has been punctuated by incidents of disaster and tragedy that have shocked us all. Sometimes warning signs were not read (or were ignored); sometimes human error was to blame. These graphic and compelling accounts by veteran Sydney Morning Herald journalist Malcolm Brown and other award-winning journalists tell us far more than simply what happened - they provide unique insights into the impact of these events on the lives of innocent people. And, interspersed with stories of death and destruction, are heart-warming accounts of courage, grace and just plain good luck.

Download or read book Design by Fire written by Emily Schlickman and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2023-08-31 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Across the world, the risks of wildfires are increasing and expanding. Due to past and current human actions, we dwell in the age of fire – the Pyrocene – and the many challenges and climate adaptation questions it provokes. Exploring our past and current relationships with fire, this book speculates on the pyro futures yet to be designed and cared for. Drawing upon fieldwork, mapping, drone imagery, and interviews, this publication curates 27 global design case studies within the vulnerable and dynamic wildland-urban interface and its adjacent wildlands. The book catalogs these examples into three approaches: those that resist the creative and transformative power of fire and forces of landscape change, those that embrace and utilize those forces, and those that intentionally try to retreat and minimize human intervention in fire-prone landscapes. Rather than serving as a book of neatly packaged solutions, it is a book of techniques to be considered, tested, and evaluated in a time of fire.

Download or read book The Homeowner's Guide to Wildfire Prevention written by Robert Sieben and published by . This book was released on 2014-05 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Once a major wildfire is burning, it's too late for fire prevention and sometimes beyond the efforts of firefighters. That's why the most important person preventing a house from burning is the homeowner. If you live in an area threatened by wildfires, here are the most important steps you can take to preserve your home. Install an automatic gas shut off valve. Ember-proof your home. Keep decks clear. Create and maintain a non-ignition zone adjacent to your house. Remove junipers from your property. Take advantage of the wet season for vegetation management. Provide both vertical and horizontal spacing between plants and trees. Your fire insurance will not replace the time, anguish, valued personal items, or loss of community that occurs when your house burns down. The Homeowner's Guide to Fire Prevention provides information that may save your home.
