Prescribed Burning in California Wildlands Vegetation Management
Editorial Reviews
David J. Parsons, Journal of Forestry
"Discussions of the natural role of fire, the history of fire management, fire behavior and planning, and the effects of fire on natural resources combine a professional ecological perspective with a casual, folksy style derived from years of practical experience. . . . Biswell shows considerable foresight in recognizing the need for greatly expanded research to better understand the influence of fire and fire suppression on natural ecosystems. Overall, the story that Biswell tells is both important and convincing. It provides a valuable historical account of the development of prescribed fire as a management technique and its associated science."

Norman L. Christensen, Bioscience
"Biswell's combination of solid basic research, attention to management and policy issues, and ability and willingness to communicate with his peers and the lay public have been largely responsible for the evolution of understanding of the pro-per role of fire in wildlands. . . . This book . . . chronicles the rationale and history behind this understanding."
