Prescribed Burning in California Wildlands Vegetation Management

Prescribed Burning in California Wildlands Vegetation Management by Biswell, Harold H.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780520064829.

Harold Biswells decades of research and field experience were a major factor in developing policies of controlled or prescribed burning, which mimics or reintroduces the natural fire cycle. This comprehensive study introduces the principles and practices of prescribed burning, which apply far beyond California, within a historical and ecological perspective. Available for the first time in paperback, with a new foreword by James Agee, this book places Biswells study--and his legacy--in the context of recent developments in the field.
