Summary

Fire has frightened and fascinated human beings for centuries. Although we often think of fire as only hurtful, it can play an essential part in maintaining the natural balance of nature. As science explores the role of naturally occurring fires, we have become better skilled at utilizing fire and living alongside its dangers. Dorothy Hinshaw Patent's authoritative text -- coupled with William Munoz's spectacular photographs -- documents scientists' growing knowledge of the awesome power of fire. Index.

First line

Humans have always been fascinated by fire.
