| Publisher Description: Addresses our ambivalence about fire and the realities of loss to it. This book examines the process of renewal that is yet another consequence of such destruction, from the infusion of essential nutrients into the soil, to the sprouting of seeds that depend on intense heat for germination, to the renewal of species as the land restores itself. |
