Burning planet: the story of fire through time
Andrew C Scott’s book charts the natural history of wildfire and its ability to provide clues to events on Earth
The story of fire could be told in many different ways. Burning planet charts the natural history of wildfire and its ability to provide clues to events in the history of Earth, the burning planet itself. Wildfire is discussed as a necessary and natural component of our planet’s ecosystems; one that was present long before us and will endure long after us.
