Buchbeschreibung Hardcover. Zustand: New. A NEW YORK TIMES TOP TEN BOOK OF THE YEAR FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTION A stunning account of a colossal wildfire and a panoramic exploration of the rapidly changing relationship between fire and humankind from the award-winning, best-selling author of The Tiger and The Golden Spruce Winner of the Baillie Gifford Prize for Non-FictionA BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: The New York Times, The Washington Post, The New Yorker, TIME, NPR, Slate, and SmithsonianGrips like a philosophical thriller, warns like a beacon, and shocks to the core." -Robert Macfarlane, bestselling author of UnderlandRiveting, spellbinding, astounding on every page. -David Wallace-Wells, #1 bestselling author of The Uninhabitable EarthIn May 2016, Fort McMurray, the hub of Canadas oil industry and Americas biggest foreign supplier, was overrun by wildfire. The multi-billion-dollar disaster melted vehicles, turned entire neighborhoods into firebombs, and drove 88,000 people from their homes in a single afternoon. Through the lens of this apocalyptic conflagration-the wildfire equivalent of Hurricane Katrina-John Vaillant warns that this was not a unique event, but a shocking preview of what we must prepare for in a hotter, more flammable world.Fire has been a partner in our evolution for hundreds of millennia, shaping culture, civilization, and, very likely, our brains. Fire has enabled us to cook our food, defend and heat our homes, and power the machines that drive our titanic economy. Yet this volatile energy source has always threatened to elude our control, and in our new age of intensifying climate change, we are seeing its destructive power unleashed in previously unimaginable ways.With masterly prose and a cinematic eye, Vaillanttakes us on a riveting journey through the intertwined histories of North Americas oil industry and the birth of climate science, to the unprecedented devastation wrought by modern forest fires, and into lives forever changed by these disasters. John Vaillants urgent work is a book for-and from-our new century of fire, which has only just begun. Bestandsnummer des Verk�ufers DADAX1524732850
