Fire, both inevitable and ubiquitous, plays a crucial role in North
American ecosystems. But, as necessary as fire is to maintaining
healthy ecosystems, it threatens human lives and livelihoods in
unacceptable ways. This volume explores the rich yet largely
uncharted terrain at the intersection of fire policy, fire science,
and fire management in order to find better ways of addressing this
pressing dilemma. Written in clear language, it will help
scientists, policy makers, and the general public, especially
residents of fire-prone areas, better understand where we are today
in regard to coping with wildfires, how we got here, and where we
need to go. Drawing on abundant historical and analytic information
to shed new light on current controversies, "Living with Fire"
offers a dynamic new paradigm for coping with fire that recognizes
its critical environmental role. The book also tells how we can
rebuild the important ecological and political processes that are
necessary for finding better ways to cope with fire and with other
complex policy dilemmas.
