A Stephen J. Pyne Environmental History of American Wildfire Policy and Forestry

Centuries of Indigenous controlled burning once shaped the North American continent, maintaining resilient forest ecosystems until 20th-century federal policies demanded total wildfire suppression. Renowned fire historian Stephen J. Pyne traces the evolution of American wildland fire management, examining how political pressure, forestry science, and climate shifts created today's catastrophic fire season crisis.

Pyne analyzes key historical turning points—including the founding of the U.S. Forest Service and mega-fire blazes—arguing for a critical shift from aggressive suppression to prescribed burning and ecological coexistence.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Stephen J. Pyne combines environmental science, government policy analysis, and forest ecology. An essential history volume for conservationists, environmental historians, and forestry professionals.
