Harold Biswell's 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 Biswell's study--and his legacy--in the context of recent developments in the field.

This handy book provides up-to-date information on the uses of fire for managing thorn woodlands similar to those in South Texas and northern Mexico.South Texas represents the northern portion of a unique biotic province–the Tamaulipan thorn woodland. This vegetation, a transitional type linking desert scrub to subtropical vegetation to the south and east, is analogous to vegetation existing in South America, Africa, and Australia. It is safely assumed that results from experiences with prescribed burning can be extrapolated to these vegetation types.Prescribed Burning for Brushland Management first describes the ecological setting in South Texas. The authors then present the benchmark principles related to fire behavior and mode of action, in order to understand vegetation responses to burning and in order to predict these responses. Finally, methods of fire application and control are discussed.Actual results from prescribed burning are explained in terms of vegetation, livestock, and wildlife responses. Final discussions center on the role of prescribed burning in range management systems and economic assessment. In all cases, the writing goes beyond simply presenting data; the authors use interpretive discussions that incorporate specific examples and case studies. This book will be of use to students, teachers, and managers interested in natural resource management, as well as wildland enthusiasts.

Landowners and managers, municipalities, the logging and livestock industries, and conservation professionals all increasingly recognize that setting prescribed fires may reduce the devastating effects of wildfire, control invasive brush and weeds, improve livestock range and health, maintain wildlife habitat, control parasites, manage forest lands, remove hazardous fuel in the wildland-urban interface, and create residential buffer zones. In this practical and helpful manual, John R. Weir, who has conducted more than 720 burns in four states, offers a step-by-step guide to the systematic application of burning to meet specific land management needs and goals.

A popular guide for consumers about all the psychiatric drugs used with kids. Arguments abound about whether psychiatric medicines are over- or underprescribed, even as their use in childhood and adolescence has become commonplace. Knowing how various medicines work, their side effects and doses, will help parents understand their child's experience. And if you are considering medication for your child, the crucial question is, could it help? This book is an overview of the four groups of medicines most commonly used in child and adolescent psychiatry―for ADHD, depression and anxiety, psychosis, and mood disorders. It discusses not only the drugs but also how they work in the body, as well as the culture of today's medical practice. Kevin T. Kalikow offers measured advice on how to evaluate and treat young people with medicine and how to decide if medicine isn't the right course of action. It is essential reading for anyone who needs to wade through the complicated―and often contradictory―medical information about kids and drugs.

"Tom Ribe's clear, scrupulous and thorough account of the Los Alamos/Bandelier fire of 2000 is a white-knuckle narrative, yet meticulously accurate." -Roger G. Kennedy, Former Director, U.S. National Park Service; Director Emeritus, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution and author of Wildfire and Americans Inferno by Committee tells the story of America's worst prescribed fire disaster, the Cerro Grande Fire of 2000 which burned 250 homes in Los Alamos, New Mexico. The fire started with a National Park Service prescribed fire that went out of control and ended up burning 42,000 acres of the Santa Fe National Forest. A thorough review of the investigations of the fire and the policy changes that resulted from this seminal event in American fire history are also an integral part of this examination. Prescribing fire on the landscape involves risk. Sometimes, as with the Cerro Grande Fire, the risk taken results in disaster. For land managers, there really is no option but to prescribe fire and take risk-to restore fire to a landscape where fire is native and necessary for the survival of biological systems. Cerro Grande showed us both the consequences of taking a risk with fire and more dramatically, the consequences of avoiding that risk.
