Bushfire Safety Info
G'Day! Regarding the recent fires in the USA...
http://www.castlemaine.net.au/~jwebster/ Has info on two books put out by Ms Joan Webster regarding Bushfires, and Bushfire Safety info (as applies specifically to Australia, but should still be mostly valid anywhere else). THE COMPLETE BUSHFIRE SAFETY BOOK (Random House, Australia 2000) ISBN 1740510348. by Joan Webster, illustrated by Katherine E. Seppings (a comprehensive book - excerpts available at the site!) And... ESSENTIAL BUSHFIRE SAFETY TIPS (Random House, Australia 2001) ISBN 1740510356. by Joan Webster (smaller condensed version of above) Both books are RECOMMENDED and ENDORSED by Australian Fire Authorities! They have been since the version of the first book came out back in 1986, under the name of "The Complete Australian Bushfire Book" (published by Thomas Nelson Australia, ISBN 0-17-006759-9). I've seen and read different versions of the 'Complete' book, and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone! I can't comment on the second book (booklet?) mentioned above as I haven't seen it. As for the 1986 version? I've still got a copy in my bookcase! (I loaned other versions to family and friends!) -- Yours, DBM - From Somewhere in Australia, the Land of Tree-Hugging Funnelwebs... |
