Current Titles in Wildland Fire, March 2018 Keywords: INBIB insects Abstract: Altered fire regimes and fragmented landscapes are mentioned frequently as causes of loss of habitat... A number of strategies in dealing with "incompatible fire" are discussed. Incompatible fire is defined as fire that does not adhere to the natural regime, dynamics, and features of the habitat, landscape, or ecosystem. This includes incompatible suppression, timing, frequency, intensity, seasonality, pattern, or extent of fire. Incompatible fire was identified as a major source of stress for fire-adapted habitats in Florida and a more minor source for habitats not adapted to fire but sometimes burned.

Mosaics of other fire regime components such as fire frequency are thought to be important but their effects have not been tested empirically. We present empirical evidence that fly and wasp species richness responds to both kinds of fire mosaic. Contact Author: [email protected] FRI Access Number: 113902 Author(s): Brugnot, Gerard 19

Current Titles in Wildland Fire, March 2018 Year: 2011 Keywords: INBIB insects Abstract: "a fire burn is also commonly used to reduce the accumulation of general burnable material [5] and, while it may help to control some insects and diseases, there is evidence that a burn can lead to increased bark beetle damage [5, 9]. Accidental fires which cause damage to large areas of pine forests results in many severely injured trees that are easily colonized by bark beetles, boosting their population levels, which in turn, leads to outbreaks that affect trees that would otherwise survive fire, and in extreme cases leads to infestation of nearby healthy stands. Santolamazza- Carbone et al. recommended removal of injured and dying pines after studying bark beetle and other insect colonization of P. pinaster after a fire in Spain."

However, these models fail to capture the behaviour of living fuel. Hence this study aims to model the behaviour of living fuel through the specific role of sap, which seems to drive the fuel temperature during the heating phase leading to ignition.

These values are helpful to predict the behaviour of forest species in case of forest fires and thus to prevent and/or fight these wildfires. Main parameters for calculation of risk indices are calorific values measured by bomb calorimetry and flammability measured by a standard epiradiator. These parameters were studied together with chemical analysis of different forest samples and an intensive research of physical and environmental parameters. All the data presented were determined in the last 10 years in Galicia (NW of Spain).

Abstract: Wild fires have significant impact on atmosphere and lives. The demand of predicting exact fire area in forest may help fire management team by using drone as a robot. These are flexible, inexpensive and elevated-motion remote sensing systems that use drones as platforms are important for substantial data gaps and supplementing the capabilities of manned aircraft and satellite remote sensing systems. In addition, powerful computational tools are essential for predicting certain burned area in the duration of a forest fire. The reason of this study is to built up a smart system based on semantic neural networking for the forecast of burned areas. The usage of virtual reality simulator is used to support 74

Thus, this study investigated the influence of fire on a community of fruit flies in two Cerrado environments, namely, typical Cerrado (savanna-like) and forested Cerrado. We collected species of Anastrepha, using McPhail traps weekly from 2 May 2011 to 30 April 2013... The curves of species accumulation indicated a greater diversity of species in the post-fire than the pre-fire period, and the species diversity did not reach stabilization within the post-fire observation period. The diversity of habitats formed by burning and rapid regeneration of the flora after the fire could be responsible for the increase in species abundance and species richness of fruit flies in comparison with the pre-fire period.

Current International Perspectives on Wildland Fires, Mankind and the Environment $185.00 Editors: Brigitte Leblon (Faculty of Forestry and Environmental Management, University of New Brunswick, Canada) and Martin E. Alexander (Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences, University of Alberta, Canada) Book Description: Wildland fire has and continues to impact humans and our environment both positively and negatively. Being able to co-exist with fire on the landscape is becoming increasingly more important as man expands his use of the world’s ecosystems. This book is the latest contribution dedicated towards the scholarship surrounding the subject of wildland fires. The present volume consists of a collection of essays covering fire science and technology topics that support the management of wildfires and prescribed fires written by specialists in their respective fields. The nine chapters cover the following: (i) the need of fire and the consequences of policies of attempted fire exclusion to try and manage the wildfire problem; (ii) a review of the current stateof-knowledge of the role of remote sensing technologies in managing wildfires; (iii) a description of how the Canadian system of forest fire danger rating has been introduced into Argentina; (iv) the rationale for adding an “A” for anchor point(s) to the LCES (Lookout(s) – Communication(s) – Escape routes – Safety zone(s)) safety system for wildland firefighters, thus denoting LACES; (v) a case study involving the use of cloud-based geographic information system on the 2013 Silver Fire in southern California; (vi) the deaths that have occurred amongst rural firefighters and members of the public in Greece since 1997; (vii and viii) two separate overviews of the history, ecology and management of two large Argentinian regions of South America; and (ix) an assessment undertaken of wildland firefighter fatalities in South Africa over the past twenty years or so.

Another new book on the Yarnell Incident The Fire Line, Fernanda Santos, 2016, Flatiron Books, 288 pages, $11.61 Impeccably researched, drawing upon more than a hundred hours of interviews with the firefighters’ families, colleagues, state and federal officials, and researchers, New York Times Phoenix Bureau Chief Fernanda Santos has written a very good book about the fatal Yarnell Hill Fire. This book provides much insight into the events prior to Marsh's fatal decision to lead his men away from a secure safety zone. This is, by far, the better researched and better written narrative of the fire, but, of necessity, still lacks any insight into Marsh's state of mind when he decided to move his crew.

New Book about the Yarnell Incident My Lost Brothers, Brendan McDonough and Stephan Talty. 2016. Hachette Book Group, New York, 278 pages. $16.20 hardbound This is a memoir, not an analysis, and provides little we didn't know about the Yarnell fatality incident in which 19 hotshots were killed when overrun by fire in Arizona in 2013. The story begins with the survivor's childhood, and carries forward to his third year as a firefighter on the Granite Mountain Interregional Hotshot Crew. He was separated from the crew as a lookout on the Yarnell Hills Fire, and is in the dark as much as all of us as to what was behind the fatal decision to cross a mile of green in the path of the fire. Despite this disappointment, I might recommend the book as a good read. Click on the book image above to link to your Amazon account.

Firestick Ecology, Vic Jurskis, 2016, Connor Court Publishing Pty Ltd, 370 pages, $20.55 paperback Aborigines came to Australia and burnt out most of the trees and bushes. The megafauna starved whilst eucalypts, herbs, grasses and mesofauna flourished. The ancient culture survived an ice age, global warming and hugely rising seas, forging economies in woodlands and deserts. Europeans doused the firestick, woodlands turned to scrub, mesofauna perished, megafires and tree-eaters irrupted. Foresters rekindled the firestick and greens stole it. Megafires and declines are back with a vengeance whilst ecologists dream-up reasons not to burn. Ecological history shows that we must apply the firestick frequently, willingly and skillfully to restore a healthy, safe environment and economy.

New Book about Stoddard's Methods in Management of Longleaf Pine The Art of Managing Longleaf: A Personal History of the Stoddard-Neel Approach, 2012, Leon Neel, The University of Georgia Press, 212 pages. $24.95 Once considered controversial, the Stoddard Method is now accepted among foresters and environmentalists as the best art in managing this highly fire dependent species. Herbert Stoddard was not an educated man compared to his peers, but his feet-on-the-ground capacity for understanding complex ecological landscapes is genius. A close friend of Aldo Leopold and other environmental thinkers of his time, he worked with Leon Neel to develop and test his set of management principles. This book is an interview with Neel that describes the evolution of the Stoddard-Neel approach, its details, and the results of their studies. This is well-written books that will fully explain the Stoddard principles and their genesis and bring to the reader an intimate feel for the place, the times and the issues.

New Book on Prescribed Burning in Russia Prescribed Burning in Russia and Neighbouring Temperate-Boreal Eurasia, edited by Johann Georg Goldammer, 2013, Kessel Publishing House, 326 Pages, 35 Euro ($36.61), plus shipping costs. To me personally, this is a very exciting addition to the literature on fire in Russia. Invited by Dr. Goldammer and our hosts in Krasnoyarsk in the early 1990's, I was thrilled to be able to attend the conference being put on my our Russian colleagues and to witness a burn experiment on Bor Island in northern Siberia. That experiment was the beginning of twenty years of work summarized in this book. Equally exciting and important is the rare opportunity to read about the history and progress in prescribed burning in Russia and to see references in the bibliographies in this book to Russian literature that have not been available until now. Written by Goldammer and a number of preeminent scientists in Russia, this is an excellent reference to fire in this part of the world.

California: A Fire Survey, Stephen J. Pyne, 2016, University of Arizona Press, 216 pages, $19.95 The coastal sage and shrublands of California burn. The mountain-encrusting chaparral burns. The conifer forests of the Sierra Nevada, Cascades, and Trinity Alps burn. The rain-shadowed deserts after watering by El Niño cloudbursts and the thick forests of the rumpled Coast Range—all burn according to local rhythms of wetting and drying. Fire season, so the saying goes, lasts 13 months. In this collection of essays on the region, Stephen J. Pyne colorfully explores the ways the region has approached fire management and what sets it apart from other parts of the country. Pyne writes that what makes California’s fire scene unique is how its dramatically distinctive biomes have been yoked to a common system, ultimately committed to suppression, and how its fires burn with a character and on a scale commensurate with the state’s size and political power. California has not only a ferocity of flame but a cultural intensity that few places can match. California’s fires are instantly and hugely broadcast. They shape national institutions, and they have repeatedly defined the discourse of fire’s history. No other place has so sculpted the American way of fire.

Florida: A Fire Survey, Stephen J. Pyne, 2016, University of Arizona Press, 184 pages, $19.95 In Florida, fire season is plural, and it is most often a verb. Something can always burn. Fires burn longleaf, slash, and sand pine. They burn wiregrass, sawgrass, and palmetto. The lush growth, the dry winters, the widely cast sparks—Florida is built to burn. In this important new collection of essays on the region, Stephen J. Pyne colorfully explores the ways the region has approached fire management. Florida has long resisted national models of fire suppression in favor of prescribed burning, for which it has ideal environmental conditions and a robust culture. Out of this heritage the fire community has created institutions to match. The Tallahassee region became the ignition point for the national fire revolution of the 1960s. Today, it remains the Silicon Valley of prescription burning. How and why this happened is the topic of a fire reconnaissance that begins in the panhandle and follows Floridian fire south to the Everglades.

Natural Disturbances and Historic Range of Variation, edited by Catheryn H. Greenberg and Beverly S. Collins, 2015, Springer, 400 pages, $92.58 This book discusses the historic range of variation (HRV) in the types, frequencies, severities and scales of natural disturbances, and explores how they create heterogeneous structure within upland hardwood forests of the Central Hardwood Region (CHR). The book was written in response to a 2012 forest planning rule which requires that national forests to be managed to sustain ‘ecological integrity’ and within the ‘natural range of variation’ of natural disturbances and vegetation structure. Synthesizing information on HRV of natural disturbance types, and their impacts on forest structure, has been identified as a top need. Historically, both non-anthropogenic and anthropogenic disturbances were integral to shaping central hardwood forests, and essential in maintaining diverse biotic communities. Spatial extent, frequency and severity differ among natural disturbance types, creating mosaics and gradients of structural conditions and canopy openness across the landscape.

Sistemas de Información Geográfica en incendios forestales: Caso de estudio para la prevención de incendios en Parque Nacional Tunari - Bolivia, Daniel C. Cruz Fuentes , Editorial Academica Espanola, 188 pages, $72.00 and $67.34 used. El Parque Nacional Tunari ubicado a 2 800 m.s.n.m en Bolivia tiene una alta frecuencia de incendios forestales. Actualmente los Sistemas de Información Geográfica (SIG) son una herramienta de alta utilidad para la prevención de incendios. La presente investigación se basa en la aplicación de estas herramientas. En base a la teoría de desenvolvimiento del fuego y a estudios modelo, se definieron las variables concernientes a la ignición y propagación. Además fueron seleccionados los atributos más relevantes, se recopiló y analizó la información para luego procesarla en un modelo de análisis espacial. El ámbito antropogénico, la meteorología, topografía y la vegetación son las esferas que combinadas de acuerdo con su importancia, hacen del modelo propuesto y sus mapas resultantes una herramienta integral. Su discusión, corrección y validación con la participación de las instituciones concernientes al tema, pueden poner el estudio en aplicación y a consideración como aporte a la literatura especializada en la aplicación de SIG.

Gender and Wildfire, 2014, Christine Eriksen, Francis and Taylor Publishers, 185 pages, $47.65 In pursuit of lifestyle change, affordable property, and proximity to nature, people from all walks of life are moving to the wildland-urban interface. Tragic wildfires and a predicted increase in high fire danger weather with climate change have triggered concern for the safety of such amenity-led migrants in wildfire-prone landscapes. This book examines wildfire awareness and preparedness amongst women, men, households, communities and agencies at the interface between city and beyond. It does so through an examination of two regions where wildfires are common and disastrous, and where how to deal with them is a major political issue: southeast Australia and the west coast United States. It follows women’s and men’s stories of surviving, fighting, evacuating, living and working with wildfire to reveal the intimate inner workings of wildfire response – and especially the culturally and historically distinct gender relations that underpin wildfire resilience. Wildfire is revealed as much more than a "natural" hazard – it is far from gender-neutral. Rather, wildfire is an important means through which traditional gender roles and power relations are maintained despite changing social circumstances. Women’s and men’s subjectivities are shaped by varying senses of inclusion, exclusion, engagement and disengagement with wildfire management. This leads to the reproduction of gender identities with clear ramifications for if, how and to what extent women and men prepare for wildfire.

Incendios Forestales, Una Introducción a la Ecología del Fuego, Juli G. Pausas, 2012, Catarata Publishers, 119 pages, 12 Euros ($13.67 US) Por incendios forestales nos referimos a incendios (sean de origen natural o antrópico) que ocurren en los ecosistemas terrestres, y que se propagan por la vegetación, sea del tipo que sea (bosques, sabanas, matorrales, pastizales, humedales, turberas, etc.). Gran parte de la gente asocia los incendios forestales a eventos catastróficos, Sin embargo, y como vemos al lo largo de este libro, los incendios forman parte de la misma naturaleza y han moldeado la diversidad de nuestros ecosistemas. Existen regímenes de incendios que son totalmente sostenibles desde el punto de vista ecológico, si bien es cierto que muchos cambios provocados por la humanidad han generado regímenes de incendios insostenibles. La rama de la ciencia que estudia el papel de los incendios en los organismos y los ecosistemas, se llama ecología del fuego, y es el tema central de este libro. La ecología del fuego proporciona la base científica para mejorar el conocimiento y la gestión del territorio en ambientes donde los incendios tienen un papel preponderante. No es posible realizar una gestión sostenible de los recursos, sin tener una base sólida de los procesos implicados. Este libro pretende aportar alguno de estos conocimientos al público general.

Fire in Mediterranean Ecosystems, 2011, Jon E. Keeley, William J. bond, Ross A. Bradstock, Juli G. Pausas and Philip W. Rundel, Cambridge University Press, 522 pages., $103.00 and $43.20 used Exploring the role of fire in each of the five Mediterranean-type climate ecosystems, this book offers a unique view of the evolution of fire-adapted traits and the role of fire in shaping Earth's ecosystems. Analyzing these geographically separate but ecologically convergent ecosystems provides key tools for understanding fire regime diversity and its role in the assembly and evolutionary convergence of ecosystems. Topics covered include regional patterns, the ecological role of wildfires, the evolution of species within those systems, and the ways in which societies have adapted to living in fire-prone environments. Outlining complex processes clearly and methodically, the discussion challenges the belief that climate and soils alone can explain the global distribution and assembly of plant communities. An ideal research tool for graduates and researchers, this study provides valuable insights into fire management and the requirements for regionally tailored approaches to fire management across the globe.

Special offer to Current Titles subscribers from the publisher Global and Regional Vegetation Fire Monitoring from Space, paper, color plates, 303 pages, $59.00 Satellite remote sensing technology is playing an important role for monitoring fires and their consequences, as well as in operational fire management. In response to this need as well as to respond to other needs for more rapid progress in forest observation the Committee on Earth Observation Satellites initiated Global Observation of Forest Cover (GOFC) as an international pilot project to test the concepts of an integrated global observing system. GOFC was designed to bring together data providers and information users to make information products from satellite and in-situ observations of forests more readily available worldwide. Fire Monitoring and Mapping was formed as one of three basic components of GOFC. This book contains eighteen contributions (see below)authored by scientists who represent the most active international research and development institutions, aiming at coordinating and improving international efforts for user-oriented systems and products. These papers were initially presented at a GOFC Fire Workshop held at the Joint Research Centre, Ispra. The volume is a contribution of the GOFC Forest Fire Monitoring and Mapping Implementation Team to the Interagency Task Force Working Group Wildland Fire of the UN International Strategy for Disaster Reduction (ISDR).

A Guide to Rate of Fire Spread Models for Australian Vegetation, M. G. Cruz, J. S. Gould, M. E. Alexander, A. L. Sullivan, W. L. McCaw and S. Matthews, 2015, CSIRO Land and Water Flagship, $30 AuD ($21.94 US) plus shipping Researchers from CSIRO and the Australasian Fire and Emergency Service Authorities Council (AFAC) have conducted a comprehensive analysis of the different fire spread models. Their aim was to determine which models could be applied under different conditions for operational use in prescribed burning and wildfire suppression in different Australian vegetation types - specifically grasslands, shrublands, both dry and wet eucalypt forests, and in conifer plantation fuel types. This publication consolidates, for the first time, all published Australian models into one resource guide, together with a comprehensive analysis of their potential applications, benefits and limitations. It evaluates application of the models in different vegetation types and burning conditions, and provides detailed performance appraisals. In the book, the authors examine the three different eras of bushfire rate of spread modelling breakthroughs, including the initial breakthrough by Australia’s first fire researcher, Alan G McArthur, over a twenty year period from the 1950s, through to the preliminary industry-research partnerships era spanning from 1970 to 2002 to the present comprehensive research and industry collaboration era.

Ecology of Wildfire Residuals in Boreal Forests, Ajith H. Perera and Lisa J. Buse, 2015, Wiley-Blackwell, 272 pages, $77.88 new and $92.46 used Until I began reading this beautifully crafted book by Perera and Buse, I had not the slightest idea what "wildfire residuals" are. With all the emphasis on spotting on large fires, the topic of residuals (unburned islands within the footprint of the fire) has barely been elucidated until this excellent book. My own first awareness of the existence and importance of residuals ("streets" I think we called them) was for me, and probably for you, in the aftermath of the Yellowstone fires of '88, where some interesting fire patterns resulted from horizontal vortices. Perera and Buse make a powerful team, as Perera has been studying residuals for many years, and Buse is a gifted science writer. The result is a well organized and clearly written review of the literature on residuals, their formation, their types, and their ecological and silvicultural roles. The studies cited and the principles discussed can be, for the most part, transferred to ecosystems other than boreal forests. However, this is a valuable addition to works on boreal forests, which (I learned) account for one-third the world's forests, and three-quarters of the world's coniferous forests.

Newly Released Book on the Yarnell Incident On the Burning Edge, Kyle Dickman, 2015, Ballentine Books, 277 pages, $5.99 new and $5.78 used

Kyle Dickman, author of this new book on the Yarnell fatalities of 2013, is a former editor of Outside magazine and a former member of the Tahoe Hotshots. His reporting has been nominated for a National Magazine Award. In his well-researched book, he describes the inner dynamics of the Granite Mountain hotshot crew. The reader gains valuable insights into the personal lives of the supervisors and several of the crew members, and gets a perspective on what may have been in the minds of the crew as they followed their supervisor out of their secure location in the black, across a half mile of bone-dry brush toward the Boulder Springs Ranch. Dickman's description of the chaos that was unfolding around the crew before, during and after the crew's shelter deployment is an worthy contribution to the many studies done on this incident.

New book on a forgotten fatal fire at a 25% discount Montana's Waldron Creek Fire, 2015, Charles Palmer, History Press, 172 pages. $21.99.

I jumped with Charlie in 2000 and 2001, and it never occurred to me that he was thinking such serious thoughts! Charlie, now incarnated as a professor at the University of Montana, accidentally uncovered a long-forgotten fire, the 1931 Waldron Creek Fire, in which five men died when they got separated from the rest of the crew. Charlie could find no records on the deaths, but was able to piece together from family and other diverse sources what happed to the men, and what occurred after the discovery of the bodies. This is a sad commentary on the commitment of a major federal agency to their firefighters, which, unfortunately is not an isolated incident. Briefly covering the fatal Thirty Mile and Esperanga Fires, Charlie underscores situations where resources at risk appear to be valued more than lives of firefighters.

New book on the history of fire and prescribed burning on the Sierra National Forest in California, USA at a 25% discount Fighting Fire in the Sierra National Forest, Marcia Penner Freedman, 2015, History Press, 127 pages. $19.99 Ms. Freedman does an excellent job of covering the history of the early Sierra National Forest, with emphasis on the controversy over prescribed burning. Starting with pre-settlement fire and moving into the early 20th century, with the founding of the US Forest Service, she discusses the fight over "light burning." Although westerners understood the use of fire, politics and the 1910 catastrophic Big Burn allowed anti-fire supporters to gain the momentum on this argument. It wasn't until the arrival of Dr. Harold Biswell from the southeastern tradition of prescribed burning that this tool was again seriously considered.

Burning Table Mountain, Simon Pooley, 2014, Palgrave Studies in World Environmental History, Palgrave MacMillan Publishers, UK, 315 pages, $90.00 Reading this book is such a pleasure. Pooley has done an incredible amount of research and has a very firm grasp of the history of South Africa, general ecological theory, and most especially fire ecology. The book details the evolution of human understanding and use of fire from the practices of Khoikhoi herders to the recent firestorm of January 2000. "In this meticulously researched and lucidly written book, Simon Pooley exposes the reader to the myriad of contradictions and conflicts that arise when northern Europeans colonise a fire-prone ecosystem...a must-read for social and natural scientists that grapple with the human-wildland interface in the vast areas of the world's fire-prone ecosystems."

The Chinchaga Firestorm, Cordy Tymstra, 2015, University of Alberta Press, 227 pages. Paperback US $34.95. PDF US $27.99. In 1950, the biggest firestorm documented in North America - 3,500,000 acres of forest burned in northern Alberta and British Columbia - created the world's largest smoke layer in the atmosphere. The smoke travelled half way around the northern hemisphere and made the moon and sun appear blue. The Chinchaga Firestorm is an historical study of the effects of fire on the ecological process. Using technical explanations and archival discoveries, Cordy Tymstra, a wildlife science coordinator with Environment and Sustainable Resource Development at the government of Alberta, shows the beneficial yet destructive effects of many forest fires, including the 2011 fire in Slave Lake, Alberta. This book will appeal to wildland fire scientists, foresters, forest ecologists and policy makers, as well as those who are interested in western Canadian history and ecology.

Biochar for Environmental Management: Science, Technology and Implementation, 2nd Edition, Johannes Lehmann and Stephen Joseph, Routledge, 976 pages, $140.00 The first edition of this book, published in 2009, was the definitive work reviewing the expanding research literature on this topic. Since then, the rate of research activity has increased at least ten-fold, and biochar products are now commercially available as soil amendments. This second edition includes not only substantially updated chapters, but also additional chapters: on environmental risk assessment; on new uses of biochar in composting and potting mixes; a new and controversial field of studying the effects of biochar on soil carbon cycles; on traditional use with very recent discoveries that biochar was used not only in the Amazon but also in Africa and Asia; on changes in water availability and soil water dynamics; and on sustainability and certification. The book therefore continues to represent the most comprehensive compilation of current knowledge on all aspects of biochar.

Thought-provoking book on fire in the Rocky Mountains (and everywhere else) Fire Ecology in rocky Mountain Landscapes, William Baker, 2009, Island Press, 605 pages, $51.06 "Baker presents a refreshing perspective on fire ecology, revealing multidimensional factors at work in Rocky Mountain ecosystems. His willingness to question established paradigms breaks new ground and will add immensely to our understanding of fire in these systems, ensuring that this will be a standard reference for years to come." Jon Keeley, research ecologist, US Geological Survey, and adjunct professor, University of California, Los Angeles "Baker makes a compelling argument that extensive, high-severity fires are a natural component of Rocky Mountain ecosysstems; and he questions the widespread view that our 'fire problem' and 'forest health problems' are a consequence of twentieth-century fire suppression. This book dismisses old strategies stressing costly fuels reduction and fire suppression, and instead suggests sustainable strategies that treat wildfire as a problem in land-use decision making."

Hardcover $50.66, paperback $18.79 Between Two Fires is America's story told through the nation's flames. Award-winning author stephen J. Pyne tells of a fire revolution that began in the 1960s as simple suppression, stalled in the 1980s counterrevolution, and finally was replaced with more enlightened programs of fire management. But today, writes Pyne, fire agencies are scrambling for funds, firefighters continue to die, and the country seems unable to come to grips with the fundamentals behind a rising tide of megafires. Pyne has constructed a history of record that will shape our next century of fire management.

In only four hours, the fire incinerated over 400 square miles of forest, killed at least 418 settlers and an unknown number of forest-dwelling Native Americans, and destroyed six towns in a firestorm of flame. The elements that led to this unprecedented catastrophe included careless logging practices, a drought, freakish weather, and suspected sparks from passing locomotives. The story of the 1894 fire is a saga of devastation, heartbreak, heroism, survival, hope, and rebuilding that captured worldwide attention. Recently discovered photographs provide a backdrop for a fresh look at the events surrounding the disaster and the courage of the pioneers who survived to tell the tale.

It had taken about 40 years for Chicago to grow from a small settlement of about 300 people into a thriving metropolis with a population of 300,000, but in just two days in 1871, much of that progress was burned to the ground.

Ahead of the Flaming Front: A Life on Fire, 2014, Jerry D. Mathes III, Caxton Press, 260 pages, $16.82 new and $9.50 used

Veteran wildland firefighter Jerry Mathes II takes readers into the heart of wildfires from the forests of Idaho to the deserts of the Mexican border and reveals the camaraderie of men and women bonded by the terror and beauty and hardship of life on the fireline. He makes us live through thunderstorms scattering lightning and hail, endure the high summer heat and shivering nights where bears prowl through wilderness spike camps, and the quiet days of reflection waiting for what may come next. With a poets lyricism he tells of the life and death of friends, negotiating the bureaucracy of the federal fire service, the rivalry of competing agencies, and carrying the weight of absence from his daughters as they grow and the desperate feeling he is failing even as he seems to be succeeding. Readers live alongside him as he grows from a stunned rookie trembling under flames arcing hundreds of feet into the air to a seasoned member of the training cadre, bringing full circle his life on fire by fusing hard won field experience with the classroom to give his students the tools to work and survive in the chaotic fire world so that they can slay the dragon and the dragon does not slay them.

Plant Life on the Sandplains in Southwest Australia: A Global Biodiversity Hotspot, 2014, Hans Lambers, editor, University of Western Australia Press, 348 pages, $59.72 Southwest Australia is a region increasingly recognized for its high levels of biodiversity and endemism, and it is recognized as one of the world's top 25 'biodiversity hotspots,' based largely on its highly diverse and endemic flora. This book has been assembled with current research and understanding about the southwestern Australian flora, the greatest richness of which is on the sandplains, especially on the most nutrient-impoverished soils. To be able to conserve threatened species, the animals that depend upon them, and the habitats they live in, it is necessary to understand their functioning in the past and present in order to protect them for the future. The book is an updated version of Kwongan: Plant Life of the Sandplain (Pate & Beard, 1984), and it demonstrates how much knowledge and understanding has been gained over the past 30 years. The profound Aboriginal knowledge of kwongan is also included in this beautifully illustrated book. [Subject: Australian Studies, Natural History, Botany, Aboriginal Studies]

Ramos and Julian Smith, William Morrow Press, 256 pages, $13.00 new and $12.45 used Forest and wildland fires are growing larger, more numerous, and deadlier every year — record drought conditions, decades of forestry mismanagement, and the increasing encroachment of residential housing into the wilderness have combined to create a powder keg that threatens millions of acres and thousands of lives every year. One select group of men and women are part of America's front-line defense: smokejumpers. The smokejumper program operates through both the U.S. Forest Service and the Bureau of Land Management. Though they are tremendously skilled and only highly experienced and able wildland firefighters are accepted into the training program, being a smokejumper remains an art that can only be learned on the job. Forest fires often behave in unpredictable ways: spreading almost instantaneously, shooting downhill behind a stiff tailwind, or even flowing like a liquid. In this extraordinarily rare memoir by an active-duty jumper, Jason Ramos takes readers into his exhilarating and dangerous world, explores smokejumping’s remarkable history, and explains why their services are more essential than ever before.

Went back and bought the Kindle version. I could not put it down! Granted, I am an old smokejumper. I was a 3rd year jumper from Boise on the lower ’48 booster crew to Fairbanks in 1973. Murry nailed it. The T-Hanger, the personalities and perspectives of the smokejumpers were perfectly depicted. Every jumper has a unique experience; the random nature of the jump list, combined with the number and nature of fire calls, means that each jumper had a different mix of shared events. Smokejumpers live on the edge and thereby savor the senses more than most. If you are interested in what it was really like... this book is for you.

Early mountaineers and conservationists began constructing lookouts during the late 1800s. By the 1930s, states and the federal government had built thousands of towers around the country, many in the Blue Ridge. While technology allowed forestry services to use other means for early detection of fires, many towers still stand as a testament to their significance. Author Robert Sorrell details the fascinating history of the lookouts in the Blue Ridges forests.

New Book on Climate and the Paleohistory of Fire Climate, Fire and Human Evolution, 2015, Andrew Gibson and Colin Groves, Springer, 227 pages, $87.17 This book outlines principal milestones in the evolution of the atmosphere, oceans and biosphere during the last 4 million years in relation with the evolution from primates to the genus Homo – which uniquely mastered the ignition and transfer of fire. The advent of land plants since about 420 million years ago ensued in flammable carbon-rich biosphere interfaced with an oxygen-rich atmosphere. Born on a flammable Earth surface, under increasingly unstable climates descending from the warmer Pliocene into the deepest ice ages of the Pleistocene, human survival depended on both―biological adaptations and cultural evolution, mastering fire as a necessity. This allowed the genus to increase entropy in nature by orders of magnitude. Gathered around camp fires during long nights for hundreds of thousandth of years, captivated by the flickering life-like dance of the flames, humans developed imagination, insights, cravings, fears, premonitions of death and thereby aspiration for immortality, omniscience, omnipotence and the concept of god. Inherent in pantheism was the reverence of the Earth, its rocks and its living creatures, contrasted by the subsequent rise of monotheistic sky-god creeds which regard Earth as but a corridor to heaven. Once the climate stabilized in the early Holocene, since about ~7000 years-ago production of excess food by Neolithic civilization along the Great River Valleys has allowed human imagination and dreams to express themselves through the construction of monuments to immortality. Further to burning large part of the forests, the discovery of combustion and exhumation of carbon from the Earth’s hundreds of millions of years-old fossil biospheres set the stage for an anthropogenic oxidation event, affecting an abrupt shift in state of the atmosphere-ocean-cryosphere system. The consequent ongoing extinction equals the past five great mass extinctions of species―constituting a geological event horizon in the history of planet Earth.
