Humans have been using it to shape the California landscape for thousands of years. But today many Californians' relationship to fire is one of fear. Obi Kaufmann, author of the best-selling \u003ci\u003eCalifornia Field Atlas\u003c\/i\u003e, now asks: How do we live with fire? What makes fire essential to a healthy and biodiverse Golden State, and how do we benefit from its teachings? With the same solution-minded ethic as his much-admired \u003ci\u003eThe State of Water: Understanding California's Most Precious Resource\u003c\/i\u003e, Kaufmann presents fire as a force of regeneration rather than apocalypse. He considers the long history of ecological burns, the varied ways fire behaves across the state, and the lessons we can learn from California's largest fires of recent decades.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePacked with Kaufmann's signature watercolor maps and paintings, \u003ci\u003eThe State of Fire\u003c\/i\u003e confronts one of California's most pressing social and ecological challenges. From this maelstrom Kaufmann emerges to share a deepened love for the natural world-and a refreshingly hopeful vision of California's future.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ships in 10 to 15 days","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46680742854814,"sku":"ADS-9781597146517","price":44.78,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0400\/9043\/5742\/files\/9781597146517.jpg?v=1775544802","url":"https:\/\/classicbargains.com.au\/products\/9781597146517","provider":"Classic Bargains Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
