"Continent Aflame: Responses to an Australian Catastrophe" assembles multiple responses to the Australian bushfires crisis of 2019-20. The moral imperative generated by the damaged continent, the unprecedented scale of the disaster, compels this response.

Contributors demonstrate that the continent is aflame, both literally and figuratively. Indigenous and non-Indigenous scientists, artists, doctors, ecologists, writers and many others are "aflame", in despair, anger and hope.

The book aims to help generate a resolve that comes out of these multiple reactions and which can lead to intense new possibilities.

Contributors include Bruce Pascoe, Susan Norrie, Bill Gammage, Alexis Wright, Ross Gittins, Freya Mathews, Philipa Rothfield, Arnold Zable, Thomas Keneally, Ian Kerridge, Kate Judith, Raimond Gaita, John Funder, Helen Szoke, Stephen Duckett, George Browning, Helen Caldicott, Paul Valent, Mark Beeson, Maithri Goonetilleke, Ross Garnaut, Will Steffen, Lorraine Shannon, Paul Carter, Lionel Bopage, Guy Rundle, Jessica Weir, Catherine Larkins, Philip Freier, James Collett, Tom Griffiths, Vanessa Cavanagh, Stephen Muecke, Miranda Nation, Jane Fisher, Kieran Donaghue, Rimona Kedem, Hugo Muecke, Anne Elvey, and the editors.

Industry Reviews

This collection is written by and for grieving hearts and awakening minds

in a time of innocence lost ... With eyes so opened, stronger minds, and

more courageous hearts, we can now set a path to healing the rift between

ourselves and the rest of Nature.

- Penny D Sackett FORMER CHIEF SCIENTIST OF AUSTRALIA

I hope that those with eyes to see, ears to hear, welcome the authors of

these contributions, and give heed to their analysis. We all depend on that.

- Thomas Keneally AUTHOR (FROM HIS FOREWORD)
