Publisher's Synopsis

Provides a remarkably broad, sometimes startling context for understanding fire. Traces the "ancient alliance" between fire and humanity, delves into the role of European expansion and the creation of fire-prone public lands, and then explores the effects wrought by changing policies of "letting burn" and suppression.
