520 8  Annotation Shaped by fire for thousands of years, the 
       forests of the western United States are as adapted to 
       periodic fires as they are to the region's soils and 
       climate. Our widespread practice of ignoring the vital 
       role of fire is costly in both ecological and economic 
       terms, with consequences including the decline of 
       important fire-dependent tree and undergrowth species, 
       increasing density and stagnation of forests, epidemics of
       insects and diseases, and the high potential for severe 
       wildfires. Flames in Our Forestexplains those problems and
       presents viable solutions to them. It explores the 
       underlying historical and ecological reasons for the 
       problems associated with our attempts to exclude fire and 
       examines how some of the benefits of natural fire can be 
       restored Chapters consider: the history of American 
       perceptions and uses of fire in the forest how forest 
       fires burn effects of fire on the soil, water, and air 
       methods for uncovering the history and effects of past 
       fires prescribed fire and fuel treatments for different 
       zones in the landscapeFlames in Our Forestpresents a new 
       picture of the role of fire in maintaining forests, 
       describes the options available for restoring the 
       historical effects of fires, and considers the 
       implications of not doing so. It will help readers 
       appreciate the importance of fire in forests and gives a 
       nontechnical overview of the scientific knowledge and 
       tools available for sustaining western forests by 
       mimicking and restoring the effects of natural fire 
       regimes.
