Book Description
Perhaps nothing is more frightening than seeing a forest fire rage out of control. Sometimes, however, fires are set intentionally to benefit the environment. Readers will learn not only what fire is and how it burns, they also learn how fires can both help and harm the areas they affect.

Book Description
Narrating Mexico's evolution of fire through five eras--pre-human, pre-Hispanic, colonial, industrializing (1880-1980), and contemporary (1980-2015)--this volume relies on the myth of the "five suns" that the Aztecs used to characterize their history. It completes a North American trilogy of fire histories that also includes the United States and Canada.

Book Description
Los incendios forestales son una de las principales perturbaciones naturales que afectan a los bosques de todo el mundo. En diversos países y regiones como en el Mediterráneo es la afectación más relevante sobre la cubierta forestal arbolada, que se ve reducida temporalmente (la recuperación puede tardar décadas) incluso de forma irreversible. A pesar de los grandes esfuerzos que se realizan en prevención y extinción, de forma recurrente se dan episodios de grandes incendios forestales que a menudo interaccionan con los asentamientos e infraestructuras urbanas poniendo en peligro a la población. ¿Cuáles son las razones de esta aparente contradicción? ¿Son los incendios incontrolables? Esta publicación, a través de cinco apartados, pretende explicar de forma práctica y divulgativa el complejo fenómeno de los incendios forestales y ofrecer una imagen precisa y actualizada de los retos actuales a los que se enfrenta la gestión del riesgo. A su vez, recoge ecomendaciones para facilitar el tratamiento informativo de los incendios con el objetivo de promover una mejor comprensión del fenómeno así como avanzar hacia una cultura del riesgo que permita reducir el peligro y la vulnerabilidad del territorio.

Book Description
"1910 was America's millennial year of fire. That summer, American nature and American society collided with tectonic force as western wildfires scorched millions of acres, darkened skies in New England, and deposited soot on the ice of Greenland. Farms, mining camps, and rail towns cracked and burned. A survivor said that the towering flames raged with the sound of a thousand trains rushing over a thousand steel trestles. As one ranger put it, the mountains roared." "Stephen Pyne explains how wildland fires happen and how they are fought, how forests are created then re-created in cycles of burning, and what happens to a landscape when roads, railways, mining camps, logging, and national parks appear. The action distills into a two-day crisis, the Big Blowup of August 20-21, when the fires tripled in size, and focuses in particular on the heroics of Ranger Ed Pulaski, who held his panicked crew at gunpoint in a mine tunnel while the firestorm raged outside." "Pyne brings that year to life through the experiences and words of the rangers, soldiers, politicians, bureaucrats, scientists, and civilians who faced the fires, fought the flames, and were forever scarred by them. It was the first and greatest test of the five-year-old Forest Service. Yet even as seventy-eight fire-fighters perished, a national debate raged about policy, and especially about the relative merits of firefighting versus fire lighting."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
