It has been a pleasure to review Fire on Earth: An Introduction, a book that fills an important gap in the recent literature. In fact, it comprehensively covers nearly everything related to vegetation fire, with emphasis on how such an ecological factor has shaped the planet and affected the behaviour of the creatures living on it. Beyond the wealth of information it provides, the book stands out for its many beautiful colour photos, and highly explanatory diagrams and maps, which clearly help to illustrate the phenomena described. The related captions often end with key concepts, which further help readers in understanding. Last but not least, it impresses by the extensive and up-to-date literature cited with more proposed for further study.

Abstract

It has been a pleasure to review Fire on Earth: An Introduction, a book that fills an important gap in the recent literature. In fact, it comprehensively covers nearly everything related to vegetation fire, with emphasis on how such an ecological factor has shaped the planet and affected the behaviour of the creatures living on it. Beyond the wealth of information it provides, the book stands out for its many beautiful colour photos, and highly explanatory diagrams and maps, which clearly help to illustrate the phenomena described. The related captions often end with key concepts, which further help readers in understanding. Last but not least, it impresses by the extensive and up-to-date literature cited with more proposed for further study.
