Introduction. Uncertainty and change -- Wildland fire in the West : the big picture -- Fanning the flames : human influences on fire regimes -- The failed state of fire suppression -- Logging the forests to save them -- Tools for living with fire -- Policy solutions

But as necessary as fire is to maintaining healthy ecosystems, it threatens human lives and livelihoods in unacceptable ways. This volume explores the rich yet largely uncharted terrain at the intersection of fire policy, fire science, and fire management in order to find better ways of addressing this pressing dilemma. Written in clear language, it will help scientists, policy makers, and the general public, especially residents of fire-prone areas, better understand where we are today in regard to coping
