Land on Fire
The New Reality of Wildfire in the West
More than 9 million acres burned across North America in 2015, and wildfire season continues to burn longer and hotter, affecting more and more people each year. Land on Fire—by bestselling nature writer Gary Ferguson—explores the science behind this phenomenon and how nature reacts in the aftermath of flames. You'll learn about the heroic efforts of those fighting fire, how years of fire suppression and chronic drought have combined to make the situation more dire, and what the future of fire in the West could be.
