The Burning Question reveals climate change to be the most fascinating scientific, political and social puzzle in history. It shows that carbon emissions are still accelerating upwards, following an exponential curve that goes back centuries. One reason is that saving energy is like squeezing a balloon: reductions in one place lead to increases elsewhere. Another reason is that clean energy sources don't in themselves slow the rate of fossil fuel extraction. Tackling global warming will mean persuading the world to abandon oil, coal and gas reserves worth many trillions of dollars — at least until we have the means to put carbon back in the ground. The burning question is whether that can be done. What mix of politics, psychology, economics and technology might be required? Are the energy companies massively overvalued, and how will carbon-cuts affect the global economy? Will we wake up to the threat in time? And who can do what to make it all happen?

The phenomenon of fire in the Australian landscape traverses many interests and disciplines. At a national level, there is an urgent need for the integration of both the natural and social sciences in the formulation of public policy. With contributions from 30 leading experts, Australia Burning draws together these issues, under the themes: *Ecology and the environment *Fire behaviour and fire regime science *People and property *Policy, institutional arrangements and the legal framework *Indigenous land and fire management The book examines some of the key questions that relate to the ecology, prediction and management of fire, urban planning, law, insurance, and community issues, including indigenous and non-indigenous concerns. It looks at what we need to know to inform public policy, given the present risks and uncertainty, and explores the avenues for closer integration between science, policy and the community.

In the words of M.K. Gandhi, "By education I mean an all-round drawing out of the best in child and man-body, mind and spirit." - [Harijan: July 31, 1937]. The ultimate aim of any education process across the globe is to bring out the holistic development of children by drawing out their inherent potentials. The same was reiterated by Indian Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore in a book titled “Art-The Basis of Education” by his student Devi Prasad (1998) where he emphasized the how arts and learning are related and how they together bring about holistic learning and development of children. Integration of arts in teaching-learning process encourages creativity, develops problem-solving abilities and improves the ability to handle mental imagery, as well as an understanding for using spaces creatively. (AIL guidelines NCERT, 2019). Over the past 10 years prominent theorists and practitioners such as Catterall, Eisner, and Gardner argued that the arts are integral to the education of the "whole child" (Catterall, 1998; Eisner, 1998; Gardner, 1999a) as cited in (Gullatt, 2008).
