Review # 1 was written on 2013-04-11 00:00:00 MORISOT serge Ever wonder about fire? This book covers it. I mean covers the history of fire on six continents from the beginning of time until 1980's. Really. If you love fire, you'll love this book. Even if you dont love fire, you'll never be able to watch houses in So Cal go up in smoke in quite the same way ;-)

Review # 2 was written on 2018-05-15 00:00:00 Ernest Carson World Fire was written as a prelude or prequel to Pyne's other Fire books, which were written 10-20 years prior. As such, World Fire didn't look forward to great explorations so much as it looked back on what was done (and done better). The editor's note at the beginning of World Fire is well written and engaging. I wish I could say that about the rest of the book. The writing is okay, the science is okay, but the book as a whole isn't engaging, entertaining and only mildly informative/educational.
