Sign up for LibraryThing to find out whether you'll like this book. No current Talk conversations about this book. Book is well written and excellently illustrated. The content presents the subject of wild fires in a knowledge centered way, yet its hardly boring and the drawing sketches are filled so much vivid color. Taylor Morrison talks about the origin of wildfires, how they spread and the contribution of nature and weather symptoms. He takes us through real life situations and the involvement of firefighters, newspaper crews, how it affects the forest and the aftermath of the entire phenomenom. By using the Ponderosa pine forest located out West as a case in point, the reader(either young or even old) gets a lot out of reading the book. He also uses quotes to perhaps from people who appear to be experts to perhaps produce a direct perspective. This book would definitely available in my library especially if i was in an area where wildfires were prevalent. It serves an educative and entertainment purpose, simply because its exciting to read. ( ) no reviews | add a review
