Wildfire

a century of failed forest policy

Edición de la obra Wildfire

"Wildfires are an awe-inspiring natural phenomenon that have shaped North America?s landscapes since the dawn of time. They are a force that we cannot really control, and thus understanding, appreciating, and learning to live with wildfire is ultimately our wisest public policy. With more than 150 dramatic photographs, Wildfire: A Century of Failed Forest Policy covers the topic of wildfire from ecological, economic, and social/political perspectives while also documenting how past forest policies have hindered natural processes, creating a tinderbox of problems that we are faced with today" -- publisher description (March 2007).
