Fire On The Land Supply
Description
Fire on the Land: A Retrospective Anthology of Selected Papers from the Archives of the Society of American Foresters.
“What can we learn from this history? How difficult it is to invent a new idea and put it in the field. How hard it is to admit you re wrong. How critical it is that reforms come from within the ranks rather than be imposed from outside. How much boldness must meld with humility, and insight with practice. And, if the past is prologue, as Shakespeare held, how much wildland fire management will likely remain one of American forestry s great experiments.”
-Excerpt from preface by Dr. Stephen Pyne
Fire on the Land brings together the best research and thinking on fire ecology, policy, and application to examine fire s place in forest management. A collection of peer-reviewed scientific articles from the Society of American Foresters’ journals archives, this anthology provides a comprehensive examination of how fire has shaped American s forested landscape and the people who care for it. Each new section is led by a science synthesis introduction that helps to bridge the gap between the history of these pivotal papers and the current practices and work that lies ahead regarding fire science in forestry.
Evolutionary thinking about fire’s role in managing forested landscapes: theories posed, issues identified, actions tendered, solutions defied—and hopes renewed!
