A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Joan Webster's groundbreaking first book on bushfire safety, The Complete Australian Bushfire Book (1986) was shortlisted for the BHP Pursuit of Excellence Award 1987. This, and its subsequent The Complete Bushfire Safety Book and ready reference Essential Bushfire Safety Tips, have been acclaimed by Bushfire authorities throughout Australia and overseas; readers say they have helped save their lives and homes. Her 25 years as news reporter/photographer and journalist, gained for her a reputation for 'getting things done'. This characteristic surfaced very young - aged only six - leading to the Australian Fire Protection Association's Community Service Award, 1990, and culminating in 2010 with the Order of Australia Medal for her 40 years plus work on bushfire safety.
