Timothy Neale observes how two seemingly opposing forces--an entrenched sense of crisis and widespread normalization--combine to form an apparatus of institutional fire management that increasingly centers technical control and militarization. While sympathetic to the double binds many fire management professionals find themselves in, Neale ties contemporary wildfire problems to ongoing colonization and Indigenous dispossession, exploring Indigenous-led land management and cultural burning as a practical assertion of sovereignty. Through dialogue and collaboration with professional fire managers and Indigenous environmental stewards, Neale calls for a collective movement beyond control thinking by fostering new alliances and modes of coping with, rather than commanding, our flammable world.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimothy Neale is Associate Professor of Anthropology at Deakin University and author of \u003ci\u003eWild Articulations: Environmentalism and Indigeneity in Northern Australia\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 262\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 9 x 6 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 14, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46765748912325,"sku":"9781478038795","price":57.47,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/dEqG8-6OCG9781478038795.webp?v=1787208153","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/how-to-control-fire-on-a-burning-continent-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
