A definitive exploration of fire's cultural and practical significance throughout human history * From a trusted and reliable source, fans of Richard Skrein's previous books and attendees of his workshops are already familiar with his skilful storytelling. Richard demonstrates how any age can use fire safely and practically for everyday tasks and crafts. Whether it's creating clay pottery, singing to nightingales or wild cooking - this book is both a great practical and educational gift. * With people across the world moving towards sustainable energy sources (85% people in the UK support moving to renewable energy, GOV.UK), FIRE finds its home in the hands of those wishing to reconnect with the power of the natural world. * FIRE holds great international appeal: featuring communities from across Europe and the world. Richard sensitively handles how we, from the very first humans through to their modern-day successors, have used fire in everything from crafts and cookery to foraging and rituals.
