| Zusammenfassung: | Fire is rarely out of the headlines, from the huge wildfires ravaging Australia and California to building fires such as that which destroyed Notre Dame Cathedral. Fire on any scale can pose a serious risk to life and property. Yet fire is a force of nature that has shaped Earth over aeons, while our ability to control fire has enabled us to cook fire, forge weapons, and warm ourselves. Starting with the basics of ignition, combustion, and fuel, Andrew C. Scott describes the nature of fire, from the causes and behavior of wildfire, to fire prevention in buildings. He ends by considering the future of wildfire in a warming world. -- From publisher's description |
