Pyrocene Park: A Journey Into the Fire History of Yosemite National Park

The Earth is fast transitioning from a planet shaped by ice to one shaped by fire in all its manifestations. Yosemite National Park offers a microcosm for understanding our current world. Stephen J. Pyne tells the story of how fire got removed from the landscape and the ways, both deliberate and feral, it is returning.

Stephen J. Pyne is a fire historian, urban farmer, and emeritus professor at Arizona State University. He has written some thirty-three books surveying the history and management of fire.
