The ecology of fire / by Whelan, Robert J.(CARDINAL)324770;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 309-343) and index."Aimed at senior undergraduate students, researchers, foresters and other land managers, Dr. Whelan's book examines the changes wrought by fires with reference to general ecological theory. The impacts of fires on individual organisms, populations and communities are examined separately, and emphasis is placed on the importance of fire regime. Each chapter includes a listing of 'outstanding questions' that identify gaps in current knowledge. The book finishes by summarizing the major aspects of ecology that are of particular relevance to management of fires - both protection against wildfires and deliberate use of fire."--Jacket.

Fire : a brief history / by Pyne, Stephen J.,1949-author.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 203-209) and index.Over vast expanses of time, fire and humanity have interacted to expand the domain of each, transforming the earth and what it means to be human. In this concise yet wide-ranging book, Stephen J. Pyne--named by Science magazine as "the world's leading authority on the history of fire"--explores the surprising dynamics of fire before humans, fire and human origins, aboriginal economies of hunting and foraging, agricultural and pastoral uses of fire, fire ceremonies, fire as an idea and a technology, and industrial fire.In this revised and expanded edition, Pyne looks to the future of fire as a constant, defining presence on Earth. A new chapter explores the importance of fire in the twenty-first century, with special attention to its role in the Anthropocene, or what he posits might equally be called the Pyrocene.

The forest that fire made : an introduction to the longleaf pine forest / by McGuire, John R.,author.(CARDINAL)883099; Denhof, Carol,1971-author.(CARDINAL)883631; Levan, Byron,1988-author.(CARDINAL)883632;
Includes bibliographical references and index."The Forest that Fire Made is a naturalist guide intended for a general readership. Although longleaf pine forests were often called "pine barrens" by early explorers and colonists, McGuire, Denhof, and Levan reveal that these forests were far from barren. In fact, this booming forest was home to thousands of unique plant and animal species. Covering a wide range of topics, such as the anatomy of the Longleaf tree, its history (and revival), and the surrounding fauna and foliage, the authors provide the general reader with a strong understanding of a forest that used to stretch as far as the eye could see. The authors claim that although the remnants of this once great longleaf pine forest exist, they are often just a reminder of its former majesty, only recognizable to the informed observer. Thus, The Forest that Fire Made is dedicated to introducing the next generation of outdoor enthusiasts to many of the unique animals and plants that their grandparents would have known"--
