Fire Shapes the World

From the Yosemite Conservancy comes this picture book about the history, evolution, and importance of fire—and the importance of respecting and adapting to it. From the first fire 443 million years ago to the devastating uncontrolled wildfires of today—and covering many good and bad fires in between—the book encourages understanding of all aspects of fire, from the destructive to the life-giving. The bold, contrasting illustrations portray flames bursting from volcanoes, matches flaring against the darkness, and stars burning in space.
