Room 2, CES | Alta
Stephen Pyne is an American author who has since the 1980s considered and worked on the political history of fires and wildfires, which has remained largely overlooked in wildfire literature. The Pyrocene is his latest book, published in 2022, and discusses the uses and roles of fire both culturally and historically from the agricultural fires to the burning of fossil biomass.
