Toote kirjeldus: Firestorm: How Wildfire Will Shape Our Future

Struzik, a writer and photographer, describes how wildfires are beginning to worsen due to climate change and accelerating their detrimental impacts in Canada and the US. He discusses specific fires in the two countries, how decades of fire suppression have made the task of managing future fires more difficult, and the work of scientists, firefighters, and resource managers who are developing new approaches to wildfire management.

"Frightening...Firestorm comes alive when Struzik discusses the work of offbeat scientists." &;New York Times Book Review "Comprehensive and compelling." &;Booklist"A powerful message." &;Kirkus"Should be required reading." &;Library Journal For two months in the spring of 2016, the world watched as wildfire ravaged the Canadian town of Fort McMurray. Firefighters named the fire &;the Beast.&; It acted like a mythical animal, alive with destructive energy, and they hoped never to see anything like it again. Yet it&;s not a stretch to imagine we will all soon live in a world in which fires like the Beast are commonplace. A glance at international headlines shows a remarkable increase in higher temperatures, stronger winds, and drier lands&; a trifecta for igniting wildfires like we&;ve rarely seen before. This change is particularly noticeable in the northern forests of the United States and Canada. These forests require fire to maintain healthy ecosystems, but as the human population grows, and as changes in climate, animal and insect species, and disease cause further destabilization, wildfires have turned into a potentially uncontrollable threat to human lives and livelihoods. Our understanding of the role fire plays in healthy forests has come a long way in the past century. Despite this, we are not prepared to deal with an escalation of fire during periods of intense drought and shorter winters, earlier springs, potentially more lightning strikes and hotter summers. There is too much fuel on the ground, too many people and assets to protect, and no plan in place to deal with these challenges. In Firestorm, journalist Edward Struzik visits scorched earth from Alaska to Maine, and introduces the scientists, firefighters, and resource managers making the case for a radically different approach to managing wildfire in the 21st century. Wildfires can no longer be treated as avoidable events because the risk and dangers are becoming too great and costly. Struzik weaves a heart-pumping narrative of science, economics, politics, and human determination and points to the ways that we, and the wilder inhabitants of the forests around our cities and towns, might yet flourish in an age of growing megafires.
"Frightening...Firestorm comes alive when Struzik discusses the work of offbeat scientists." &;New York Times Book Review "Comprehensive and compelling." &;Booklist"A powerful message." &;Kirkus"Should be required reading." &;Library Journal In the spring of 2016, the world watched as wildfire ravaged the Canadian town of Fort McMurray. Firefighters named the fire &;the Beast.&; It seemed to be alive with destructive energy, and they hoped never to see anything like it again. Yet it&;s not a stretch to imagine we will all soon live in a world in which fires like the Beast are commonplace. In Firestorm, Edward Struzik confronts this new reality, offering a deftly woven tale of science, economics, politics, and human determination. It&;s possible for us to flourish in the coming age of megafires&;but it will take a radical new approach that requires acknowledging that fires are no longer avoidable. Living with fire also means, Struzik reveals, that we must better understand how the surprising, far-reaching impacts of these massive fires will linger long after the smoke eventually clears.
