Has it actually been 20 years? August 15, 2008
I was eight when the fires engulfed Yellowstone. It was hard to watch on tv, as the place I'd just been to in June of 1988 was up in smoke. This book has allowed me to see the fires from other perspectives than my own and the media's.
I've been to the Park many times since the fires, and it's still amazing to see how it changes each time. Charred husks have evolved into a lush green blanket. And Rebirth By Fire does a wonderful job of showing how the fires weren't the end of Yellowstone, but a new beginning.
Beautiful photographs and writing that flows well, make this book a great addition to any Yellowstone collector's library.
The fiery rebirth of Yellowstone's forests are a true reality. July 14, 2008
The mythological phoenix, the fiery bird of rebirth is just that - a myth. But the fiery rebirth of Yellowstone's forests are a true reality. "Yellowstone's Rebirth by Fire: Rising from the Ashes of the 1988 Wildfires" is a study of the comeback of the Yellowstone wilderness after the devastating fires that covered them twenty years ago. Packed with full color photos and illustrations, "Yellowstone's Rebirth by Fire" is a testament to the resolve of mother nature to heal and recover. Enhanced with interviews from those involved in the incident, "Yellowstone's Rebirth by Fire" is highly recommended for personal and community library environmental studies collections.
