Synopsis

The articles and books listed here are a distillation of hundreds of possible entries that could have been included. They were selected by students, professors, on the ground fire practitioners, and federal researchers as excellent jumping off points for fire managers who want to become more knowledgeable about fire and the social sciences and more mindful about how human beings interconnect to make sense of the fire environment. vi Our philosophy of reading—why professionals in all walks of forest fire management can sharpen their leadership abilities through reading—parallels the “Professional Reading Program” described by the Wildland Fire Leadership Program at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise, Idaho: “This [reading] is not busy work; this is not drudgery. These readings will provoke reflection, discussion, and debate. The selected titles have been chosen for their intrinsic excitement as well as their content. Many of the books will be hard to put down. Let this be your roadmap to an enjoyable and rewarding reading program” (Wildland Fire Leadership Development Program 2005).
