On January 3rd, 2020, a wall of fire sweeps over the Prideauxs’ home, their livelihood. It is one of more than 3,000 homes leveled by the catastrophic “Black Summer” wildfires in Australia.
Two and a half years later, Dr. Margi Prideaux publishes “FIRE: A Message from the Edge of Climate Catastrophe,” a captivating book, a first-hand account of how a small community – experienced in fighting bushfires – was confronted with a natural disaster whose magnitude exceeded anything previously seen or imagined.
“FIRE is a revelation; an ambitious, poetic, sweeping account of the Black Summer fires of 2019/2020…
…FIRE is a sterling primer for survival in the age of climate chaos which deserves very wide readership. This is a must-read book for the climate crisis era we are now living in.”, writes Peter Garrett, noted environmentalist, former Australian Federal Minister, and Midnight Oil frontman, in his foreword to FIRE.
