Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. There is a centuries-old Japanese form of writing called the haibun: meditative narratives ending with a haiku that acts as a summary or extension of the ideas and moods in the prose. In Accidental Gardens, Rob Carney both honours this form and gives it an update for the 21st century. These 42 essays - arranged into sections titled 'Environmental Studies', 'Wine Is Rain in Translation', 'Seven Seeds', and 'Raccoon Verses' - are all short and end, haibun-style, with poems or encapsulating images. These essays are impressed by the natural world, and unimpressed by politics. They are lessons on poetic craft, and poetic themselves. They are at home in the American West but aware of the whole earth, all its landscapes and animals and magic - but also its fragility.

When Olivia Gesso skydives into a recruiting job with Kava Tech - a hip start-up where twenty-somethings binge drink, gamble, and code their way to luxury cars and fat bonuses - it's almost hard to remember how she got there.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Fire is a love letter to a small community who has a message for the world. The time for hollow words, targets and plans is over. Communities need to take back their control and consciously adapt to living with more apocalyptic wildfires, catastrophic rain bombs, lethal floods and mudslides, deadly droughts, and violent sandstorms.Across the world people have high expectations their governments will adapt to the changing climate. The media and politicians often shorthand this action to 'net zero' but limiting action to emissions alone fatally misses what people want. Yes, people, from all walks of life, need a resilient future secured for our children's children, but they also want their communities to be safe from disaster right now. Net zero does not provide that present-tense safety. Net zero is only about preventing things from getting exponentially worse.In 2019 and 2020 fires ripped across Kangaroo Island's iconic landscape in the catastrophic continent-wide climate event known as Black Summer. In that fatal season, wildfire destroyed a globally unprecedented percentage of continental forest biome. Across Australia 190,000 square kilometres were decimated, the lives of 33 people tragically lost, over 3,000 houses destroyed, and more than 100,000 farm animals and 1 billion native animals wiped out. Confronted by a hellfire that burned too hot to contain, even the oldest souls within Kangaroo Island's small community gravely whispered, 'never before'.The real strength of author and academic Margi Prideaux's book, Fire: A message from the edge of climate catastrophe, is that it not only captures the emotional journey she and her husband experienced after losing their home and farm during that tragic season, but also chronicles a community's journey through trauma and climate grief; from disaster into stark awareness of climate chaos; from climate apathy to front-line witnesses of a global climate crisis. A journey billions more people will suffer as climate disasters escalate.Fire is essential reading for anyone interested not just in humanity's future but our present. 'We have experienced the beginning of the climate change curve and we cannot bequeath this hell to tomorrow.' Fire is a love letter to a small community who has a message for the world. The time for hollow words, targets and plans is over. Communities need to take back their control and consciously adapt to living with more apocalyptic wildfires, catastrophic rain bombs, lethal floods and mudslides, deadly droughts, and violent sandstorms.
