Pyne traces the impact of fire in Australia, from its influence on vegetation to its use by Aborigines and European settlers.
Pyne, showing what a historian deeply schooled in environmental science can contribute to our awareness of nature and culture, has produced a provocative work that is a major contribution to the literature of environmental studies.
