This textbook provides students and academics with a conceptual
understanding of fire behavior and fire effects on people and
ecosystems to support effective integrated fire management. Through
case studies, interactive spreadsheets programmed with equations
and graphics, and clear explanations, the book provides
undergraduate, graduate, and professional readers with a
straightforward learning path. The authors draw from years of
experience in successfully teaching fundamental concepts and
applications, synthesizing cutting-edge science, and applying
lessons learned from fire practitioners. We discuss fire as part of
environmental and human health. Our process-based, comprehensive,
and quantitative approach encompasses combustion and heat transfer,
and fire effects on people, plants, soils, and animals in forest,
grassland, and woodland ecosystems from around the Earth. Case
studies and examples link fundamental concepts to local, landscape,
and global fire implications, including social-ecological systems.
Globally, fire science and integrated fire management have made
major strides in the last few decades. Society faces numerous
fire-related challenges, including the increasing occurrence of
large fires that threaten people and property, smoke that poses a
health hazard, and lengthening fire seasons worldwide. Fires are
useful to suppress fires, conserve wildlife and habitat, enhance
livestock grazing, manage fuels, and in ecological restoration.
Understanding fire science is critical to forecasting the
implication of global change for fires and their effects.
Increasing the positive effects of fire (fuels reduction, enhanced
habitat for many plants and animals, ecosystem services increased)
while reducing the negative impacts of fires (loss of human lives,
smoke and carbon emissions that threaten health, etc.) is part of
making fires good servants rather than bad masters.
As translation involves more than mere mechanics but as a
discipline tied to cultural understanding, translators must focus
on the dissimilarities and incongruities between the source and
target societies, as well as their languages. Francisco
Castro-Paniagua has written a book that will enable those involved
in this process to begin to understand the differences between the
Anglo-Saxon and Hispanic cultures in a more cohesive manner.
Drawing from LZvi-Strauss, Paz, Hymes, among others, the author
focuses first on a general theory of the two cultures, and then
discusses their most basic traits. The work concludes by analyzing
the published translations of two works.
