Review # 1 was written on 2012-03-08 00:00:00 Joann Betts I promise you that this environmental history of Europe focusing on cultural use and attitudes towards fire is interesting and as easy to read as a book on such a bizarrely specific topic could be. The author seems to have read and cited every single book ever written about fire and forestry, but even better, he's read books about other stuff and peppers the narrative (yes there is a story) with references to mythology and literature.

Review # 2 was written on 2010-06-08 00:00:00 Multicarros Multicarros An academic work with entertaining prose. Who woulda thunk? If you're into Daniel Quinn's work, this book details how totalitarian agriculture started and its various forms.
