The multi-billion-dollar disaster melted vehicles, turned entire neighborhoods into firebombs, and drove 88,000 people from their homes in a single afternoon. Through the lens of this apocalyptic conflagration‚Äîthe wildfire equivalent of Hurricane Katrina‚ÄîJohn Vaillant warns that this was not a unique event, but a shocking preview of what we must prepare for in a hotter, more flammable world.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFire has been a partner in our evolution for hundreds of millennia, shaping culture, civilization, and, very likely, our brains.

Yet this volatile energy source has always threatened to elude our control, and in our new age of intensifying climate change, we are seeing its destructive power unleashed in previously unimaginable ways.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith masterly prose and a cinematic eye, Vaillant\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003etakes us on a riveting journey through the intertwined histories of North America‚Äôs oil industry and the birth of climate science, to the unprecedented devastation wrought by modern forest fires, and into lives forever changed by these disasters. John Vaillant‚Äôs urgent work is a book for‚Äîand from‚Äîour new century of fire, which has only just begun.\u003c\/span\u003e  \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-header a-expander-partial-collapse-header\" style=\"opacity: 1; display: block;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"a-expander-content-fade\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"javascript:void(0)\" role=\"button\" data-action=\"a-expander-toggle\" class=\"a-declarative\" data-a-expander-toggle='{\"allowLinkDefault\":true, \"expand_prompt\":\"Read more\", \"collapse_prompt\":\"Read less\"}'\u003e\u003ci class=\"a-icon a-icon-extender-expand\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan class=\"a-expander-prompt\"\u003eRead more\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50548232618269,"sku":"9780525434245","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0901\/5692\/5213\/files\/9780525434245.jpg?v=1761676424","url":"https:\/\/bookdelico.com\/products\/fire-weather-on-the-front-lines-of-a-burning-world","provider":"Book Delico ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
