  Learning from ancestral wisdom to save our challenging global environment. 
   
  In this follow-up to his bestselling Fire Country, Victor Steffensen offers a positive pathway for healing the planet based on traditional Indigenous knowledge systems. 
   
  Catastrophic wildfires have overwhelmed countries around the world from Australia, Canada and the United States to Greece and Brazil. Despite our growing climate crisis, changes to Western environmental approaches have been scant and many land management practices continue to destroy the land. It's time for a 'new' way of thinking. The solutions lie in the cultures of First Peoples, if only we're willing to listen. 
   
  As a Tagalaka man from Australia, Victor Steffensen spends his days educating people around the world about Aboriginal fire and land management knowledge. Applying the practices passed onto him by his mentors, Victor is on a mission to teach others the value of this knowledge. 
   
  In The Knowledge, Victor shares the simple yet core belief underlying Indigenous knowledge systems: that humans are part of the natural world. The land is not something to be dominated and exploited. Rather, we are nature and the way forward is to realign ourselves with the Earth, recognising our responsibility to care for the planet environmentally and socially. Filled with stories of Victor's work applying Indigenous solutions, The Knowledge will transform the way you think about our responses to bushfires, floods and the climate crisis. 
   
  Never has the call to change our global environmental approach been so strong or so clear. Destined to become a seminal work, The Knowledge is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future of our planet. 
   
   
  'Indigenous knowledge must lead us out of the emergency of climate change and species extinction. Buy this book.' DAVID SUZUKI

  The Covid-19 pandemic has brought forth global anxiety about linkages between the environment and society at a fundamental structural level. Earthly Order: How Natural Laws Define Human Life provides an accessible exposition of the latest foundational knowledge on how natural and social systems science can inform planetary crises. Humanity has either tried to conquer or capitulate to natural order, whereas we should be seeking to understand latent structures and patterns that permeate all systems and develop an "earthly order," that is socially functional and sustainable. 
   
   
   
  Current debates in politics often present what should constitute a "world order" while scientists have wrestled with what are fundamental conditions of "natural order." Author Saleem H. Ali provides a synthesis of these debates with practical guidance for the public with a host of current examples around environmental decision-making by consumers, the government, and industry.
