The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent condition, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
From the dust jacket:
LEGEND SAYS that the phoenix bird lived for five hundred years, then created for itself a great heap of sticks upon which it died and was burned, only to rise from the ashes young and ready for another five hundred years.
Trees create for themselves a phoenix nest of fallen leaves, sticks and other rubble, that after many years are an equal pyre. One well-placed bolt of lightning can make a fire that will consume a forest, burning from tree to tree and from rubble to rubble. But from that burned forest, in time, there can come new life that is more abundant than the first.
This book tells the story of a destructive fire and the regeneration of life on the burned land. It also tells how fire can be used creatively in managed forests to maintain life in its most useful state.
