Item Description
And what can be done?
This fascinating 150+ page book (2021) by Lloyd "Rusty" Day offers insights into the question and possible answers.
In the past 5 years alone, California has suffered thirteen of its 20 most destructive wildland fires, destroying nearly 38,000 homes and killing 143 people. The destruction extends to whole neighborhoods and even entire communities. In Oakland, Santa Rosa, and Paradise, wildland fires have rapidly destroyed thousands of homes in a matter of hours--often with very little or no advance warning--killing scores of residents.
What's causing the increased size and catastrophic destruction of California's most recent wildfires? Is there anything we can do about it?
To answer these critical questions, we must unravel a complex knot of climate change, fire chemistry, electromagnetic physics, fluid dynamics, meteorology, State-mandated housing and fire policies, building practices, economic greed and behavioral norms-all of which entangle us in ever-growing fire danger.
