More and more people want to live and recreate near fewer and fewer trees, and the result is often devastating wildfire. This set of a dozen interdisciplinary studies, intended for use by risk managers and policy makers, comprises the first text to integrate social science and the human dimensions of wildfire. Coverage includes an introduction to applying existing social science theories to wildfires, challenges to federal forest managers (whether the public will accept their practices, and cultural variations in that acceptance), critical initiatives prior to wildfire events and consequences during and after the fire, and socioeconomic and institutional factors within designs of wildlife migration, fuel reduction events, fire policy relating to race and rural communities, and international policy on wildlife fire migration. The editors introduce a matrix approach for understanding how people, fire and forests relate to one another. Annotation ©2007 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
