World Fire: The Culture of Fire on Earth Paperback - 1997
by Stephen J. Pyne
From the rear cover
Back in Print-- "World Fire" is the story of how fire and humans have coevolved. The two are inseperable, and together they have repeatedly remade the planet. "Stephen J. Pyne writes about fire as if he were on fire, with searing, consuming heat and light. When he looks at fire he sees not biological catastrophe but social illumination and natural renewal...This book will change the way you view fire--and the way you see us routinely fighting it." --Seattle Times-
