| 520 | |a Wildfires are a fact of life throughout many arid and semi-arid regions, such as the American West. With growing population pressures in these regions, human communities are increasingly developing in so-called "urban-wildland interface zones," where severe fire driven ecosystems co-exist uneasily with humans and their property. This edited volume addresses this problem-and its potential solutions-from an interdisciplinary perceptive, with contributions from authors in public policy, sociology, economics, ecology, computer modeling, planning, and ecology. The first section of the book address. | ||
