ISBN: 1560374780 ISBN-13: 9781560374787 Publisher: Farcountry Press OUR PRICE: $8.96 Product Type: Paperback Published: May 2008 Annotation: No one can forget the 1988 fires of Yellowstone Park: the towering walls of flame and smoke-shrouded skies, the flames approaching Old Faithful Inn, the long lines of cars evacuating the park, the long lines of firefighters going into the park. Reinhart examines, in text and photographs, the 1988 fire and its aftermath and explores the burning questions of 1988 in the light of 2008: Would fire kill the forests? Would they have to replant trees? Would wildlife populations recover? Reinhart also uncovers the unexpected benefits of fire: the large stands of aspen and the unusual flora, that have risen from the ashes of the 1988 fire. |

| Publisher Description: In text and photographs, Reinhart examines the 1988 Yellowstone fires and their aftermath: smoke-shrouded skies, flaming forests, and fireballs that have been replaced by wildflowers, aspen stands, and rare Bicknell's geraniums. Reinhart also explores what the answers are to the burning questions of 1988: Would fire kill Yellowstone's forests? Would wildlife populations recover? Would Yellowstone itself recover? |
