The last fire season : a personal and pyronatural history / Manjula Martin.
"When Manjula Martin moved from the city to the woods of Northern California, she wanted to be closer to the wilderness that she had loved as a child. ... But the landscape that Martin treasured was an ecosystem already in crisis. Wildfires fueled by climate change were growing bigger and more frequent. ... In 2020, when a dry lightning storm ignited hundreds of simultaneous wildfires across the West and kicked off the worst fire season on record, Martin ... evacuated her home in the midst of a pandemic. Both a love letter to the forests of the West and an interrogation of the colonialist practices that led to their current dilemma, [this book] follows her ... as she seeks shelter, bears witness to the devastation, and tries to better understand fire's role in the ecology of the West"-- Provided by publisher.
