Abstract/Summary:
The use of fire by humans has a long and storied history, as has been chronicled globally by noted fire historian Stephen Pyne. However, the fact that fire is both a management tool and a process was generally unappreciated until about 30 years ago; and, to a certain extent, full recognition of this point is still lacking today.
