The reason is both simple and profound: fire exists because Earth is the only planet to possess life as we know it. Fire is an expression of life on Earth and an index of life’s history. Few processes are as integral, unique, or ancient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFire on Earth\u003c\/i\u003e puts fire in its rightful place as an integral part of the study of geology, biology, human history, physics, and global chemistry. Fire is ubiquitous in various forms throughout Earth and belongs as part of formal inquiries about our world. In recent years, fire literature has multiplied exponentially; dedicated journals exist and half a dozen international conferences are held annually. A host of formal sciences, or programs announcing interdisciplinary intentions, consider fire. Wildfire also appears routinely in media reporting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis full-colour text, containing over 250 illustrations of fire in all contexts, is designed to provide a synthesis of contemporary thinking; bringing together the most powerful concepts and disciplinary voices to examine, in an international setting, why planetary fire exists, how it works, and why it looks the way it does today. Students, lecturers, researchers, and professionals interested in the physical, ecological, and historical characteristics of fire will find this book, and accompanying web-based material, essential reading for undergraduate and postgraduate courses in all related disciplines, for general interest and for providing an interdisciplinary foundation for further study.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA comprehensive approach to the history, behaviour, and ecological effects of fire on earth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eTimely introduction to this important subject, with relevance for global climate change, biodiversity loss, and the evolution of human culture\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eProvides a foundation for the interdisciplinary field of Fire Research\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAuthored by an international team of leading experts in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAssociated website provides additional resources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46854526009580,"sku":"9781119953562","price":116.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/63da6b294d85960ebbfa2c0e28388ed5.jpg?v=1759269082"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/andrew-c-scott.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
