Sinossi

Forest Fire Barriers explores proactive wildfire management through strategic landscape design. It shifts from reactive firefighting to utilizing controlled fire lines, fuel breaks, and topographic advantages for wildfire containment. The book highlights how understanding fire behavior in relation to landscape features is crucial for resilient defense strategies. For instance, leveraging natural barriers like rivers or ridges can significantly enhance fire containment efforts.

 
The book begins with the fundamentals of fire behavior and ecology, progressing to the design and construction of various fire barriers. Case studies from different geographic regions illustrate best practices. You'll discover how controlled burns, when carefully managed, can act as a defensive strategy, and how removing vegetation to create fuel breaks can slow a fire's spread.

 
The book emphasizes integrating these strategies into broader landscape management plans, considering community involvement and ecological goals, and presents data through maps, charts, and photographs.

 
This book stands out by integrating traditional ecological knowledge with modern science for a holistic approach to wildfire management. It's valuable for foresters, land managers, and anyone interested in wildfire prevention, offering practical guidance for improving wildfire preparedness in fire-prone areas.

    The Shock of Change that...

    As biologist Jeremy Griffith explains in THE Interview (which psychiatrist Professor Harry Prosen described as “the most important interview of all time”), while we humans lacked the explanation for our 2-million-year corrupted human condition we had no choice but to deny that our distant ape ancestors lived in a state of cooperative and loving innocence. But with the good reason for our corrupted condition now finally found, our species' original state of innocence can at last be admitted - and, as Griffith makes clear in his essay The Great Guilt, what that honesty finally allows us to see is the immense guilt and shame we humans have been carrying for corrupting our original instinctive self or soul. 
    Finding the redeeming understanding of our corrupted condition also means we no longer need to employ the artificial reinforcements we have been depending on to sustain our sense of self-worth of attacking, defying, and denying the implication that we are guilty, bad people. What this essay, The Shock Of Change that understanding the human condition brings, addresses is how to manage the great shock of change that inevitably occurs in this fabulous transformation from having to depend on our now obsoleted, artificial, angry, egocentric and alienating forms of reinforcement, to living free of them.

    First explored by naturalist William Bartram in the 1760s, the St. Johns River stretches 310 miles along Florida's east coast, making it the longest river in the state. The first "highway" through the once wild interior of Florida, the St. Johns may appear ordinary, but within its banks are some of the most fascinating natural phenomena and historic mysteries in the state. The river, no longer the commercial resource it once was, is now largely ignored by Florida's residents and visitors alike. 
     
     
     
    In the first contemporary book about this American Heritage River, Bill Belleville describes his journey down the length of the St. Johns, kayaking, boating, hiking its riverbanks, diving its springs, and exploring its underwater caves. He rediscovers the natural Florida and establishes his connection with a place once loved for its untamed beauty. Belleville involves scientists, environmentalists, fishermen, cave divers, and folk historians in his journey, soliciting their companionship and their expertise. River of Lakes weaves together the biological, cultural, anthropological, archaeological, and ecological aspects of the St. Johns, capturing the essence of its remarkable history and intrinsic value as a natural wonder.

    For the first time ever, love letters consciously written by elders of one geologic epoch to the young of another. 
     
     
     
    Our children's and grandchildren's generation will face a different world, one affected by climate instability, mass uncertainty, and breathtaking extinction. In fact, the next generation will face the reality that human activity is changing the planet from one geological epoch to another. 
     
     
     
    From this vantage point—two generations across two geological epochs facing a fundamentally changing planet—Larry Rasmussen writes to his grandchildren. As a grandfather invested in a green earth and climate justice as well as a scholar of faith-based earth ethics, Rasmussen bridges this gap between generations to write to the future about climate change, global citizenship, democracy, and legacy. In topics ranging from "A Viable Way of Life" and "Democracy" to "Where We've Come From" and "Who We Are Now," Rasmussen explores the large questions of justice, meaning, and faith, encouraging us to speak to and look to the future generation and their future world.
