Wildfires helped keep nature in balance for millions of years. But today’s wildfires burn hotter, last longer, and happen more often because of climate change. The latest book in the Planet in Danger series, The Threat of Wildfires explains the links between human-caused climate change and these dangerous events. Cutting-edge science describes what conditions spark the flames and detail the human activities involved. Dramatic images take readers onto the hot and smoky front lines while extras like maps and fast facts provide next-level information. A further reading and viewing section, glossary, and timeline point the way for anyone interested in learning more.
