In this important new collection of essays on Florida, Stephen J. Pyne colourfully explores the ways the region has approached fire management. Florida has long resisted national models of fire suppression in favour of prescribed burning, for which it has ideal environmental conditions and a robust culture. Out of this heritage the fire community has created institutions to match.
