ON THE BACK COVER
Seasoned fire ecologist George Wuerthner takes on the challenge of interpreting the significance of the fires that raged through the Yellowstone National Park area last summer, bringing insight and understanding to the political firestorm left in the aftermath of the unprecedented forest fires in the country's first national park. Armed with facts and figures, not hysteria and politics, this book attempts to bring a human dimension to these once-in-a-lifetime events. The importance of fire in the ecological balance of the area is analyzed with a wealth of historical and biological information. We see nature in its awesome power and scope dwarfing the efforts of human beings but ultimately bringing renewal and revitalization to the Yellowstone area.
