Poetry. Translated from the Spanish by Noel Valis. The award-winning poetry of Noni Benegas illuminates the ineffable world in which we live. Journeying between past and present, between the everyday world and the world of dreams, her poetry creates a space where, for an instant, the unknown feels familiar and the uncertain becomes reliable. Born in Argentina, Benegas has lived in Spain since 1977 and is the author of five books of poetry: Argonautica (Silver Prize of the United Nations); La balsa de la Medusa (National Miguel Hernandez Prize); Cartografia ardiente; Las entretelas sedosas; and Fragmentos de un diario desconocido (Esquio Poetry Prize).

Volume 1 of a two volume set, this book is a self-contained, state-of-the-art analysis of remote sensing, ground-based, and spatial techniques used for characterizing biomass burning events and pollution. It is a collective achievement of renowned scientists working throughout South and Southeast Asia. They discuss the complexity of vegetation patterns, biomass characteristics, fire distribution, drivers of fires, and several examples of the use of novel satellite algorithms for mapping and monitoring biomass burning events. The book is highly interdisciplinary and integrates earth science and environmental science including ecology, fire science, spatial geography, remote sensing, and geospatial technologies. Unique in its discussion of the sources and the causes of biomass burning and atmospheric research in South and Southeast Asia. Explains how remote sensing and geospatial technologies help the mapping and monitoring of biomass burning events and their impacts. Focuses on large spatial scales integrating top-down and bottom-up methodologies. Addresses the pressing issues of environmental pollution that are rampant in South and Southeast Asia. Includes contributions from global experts actually working on biomass burning projects in the US, Japan, South/Southeast Asia, and Europe. This book will serve as a valuable source of information for remote sensing scientists, geographers, ecologists, atmospheric scientists, environmental scientists, and all who wish to advance their knowledge on fires and biomass burning in South/Southeast Asia.

Repeatedly, if paradoxically, the Northeast has led national developments in fire. Its intellectuals argued for model preserves in the Adirondacks and at Yellowstone, oversaw the first mapping of the American fire scene for the 1880 census, staffed the 1896 National Academy of Sciences forest commission that laid down guidelines for the national forests, and spearheaded legislation that allowed those reserves to expand by purchase. It trained the leaders who staffed those protected areas and produced most of America’s first environmentalists. The Northeast has its roster of great fires, beginning with dark days in the late 18th century, followed by a chronicle of conflagrations continuing as late as 1903 and 1908, with a shocking after-tremor in 1947. It hosted the nation’s first forestry schools. It organized the first interstate (and international) fire compact. And it was the Northeast that pioneered the transition to the true Big Burn—industrial combustion—as America went from burning living landscapes to burning lithic ones. In this new book in the To the Last Smoke series, renowned fire expert Stephen J. Pyne narrates this history and explains how fire is returning to a place not usually thought of in America’s fire scene. He examines what changes in climate and land use mean for wildfire, what fire ecology means for cultural landscapes, and what experiments are underway to reintroduce fire to habitats that need it. The region’s great fires have gone; its influence on the national scene has not. The Northeast: A Fire Survey samples the historic and contemporary significance of the region and explains how it fits into a national cartography and narrative of fire. Included in this volume: How the region shaped America’s understanding of and policy toward fire How fire fits into the region today What fire in the region means for the rest of the country What changes in climate, land use, and institutions may mean for the region

Following wildfires in the United States, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and U.S. Department of the Interior mobilize Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) teams to assess immediate post-fire watershed conditions. BAER teams must determine threats from flooding, soil erosion, and instability. Developing a postfire soil burn severity map is an important first step in the rapid assessment process. It enables BAER teams to prioritize field reviews and locate burned areas that may pose a risk to critical values within or downstream of the burned area. By helping to identify indicators of soil conditions that differentiate soil burn severity classes, this field guide will help BAER teams to consistently interpret, field validate, and map soil burn severity.

Post-fire assessments are generally conducted by U S Department of Agriculture (USDA) Forest Service or U S Department of the Interior (DOI) Burned Area Emergency Response (BAER) teams after large wildfires. A BAER team's primary objective is to rapidly identify post-fire effects and determine whether the wildfire has created unacceptable risk to human life and safety, property, and critical natural or cultural resources. The BAER team may manage risk by recommending treatments for land, channel, road, and trail stabilization and for public safety (Calkin and others 2007; USDOI BLM 2007; Napper2006;USDAForestService2004). A map that reflects the fire's effects on the ground surface and soil condition is needed in order to rapidly assess fire effects, identify potential areas of concern, and prioritize initial field reconnaissance. Thus, it is important to develop a soil burn severity map as quickly as possible during the initial post-fire assessment phase. This map identifies the fire-induced changes in soil and ground surface properties that may affect infiltration, runoff, and erosion potential (Parsons 2002). It also enables BAER teams to achieve their primary objective of identifying areas of unacceptable risk to a critical value and where rehabilitation treatments may be most effective (Robichaud and others 2008b; Calkin and others 2007; Robichaud and others 2000) BAER teams have often struggled with accurately mapping post-fire soil burn severity. This challenge has grown in recent years as larger fires affect multiple jurisdictions, agencies, and landowners. There is a need for consistent methodologies, assessment tools, and terminology that quickly and accurately identify the post-fire conditions In response, BAER teams are using many geospatial assessment tools to expedite post-fire soil burn severity assessment. However, little standardization of methodology or terminology has occurred in soil burn severity mapping and field verification. This guide provides direction to BAER teams to promote consistency in post-fire soil burn severity mapping. With a field-validated soil burn severity map, BAER teams can more readily evaluate secondary wildfire effects, including increased runoff, erosion, flooding, sedimentation, and vulnerability to invasive weeds, and can predict natural revegetation (Calkin and others 2007). This field guide clarifies concepts, terminology, context, and use of the soil burn severity map. Field indicators and classification guidelines are also provided for use in mapping. Using this field guide will ensure consistency in map products across ecoregions around the United States. Components of this guide include: terminology and definitions, the role of remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS) in BAER assessments, guidelines for identifying soil burn severity classes in the field, discussion on soil burn severity within general vegetation density models, photo series showing representative postfire soil and ground conditions, and field data sheets to assist in data collection for mapping soil burn severity. This guide provides a reference for ground conditions, soil characteristics, and vegetation density models that most closely match the field setting. Observations can be compared with those in the tables and photos to make a determination of the soil burn severity classification at a field location. This guide presents representative conditions only. Actual ground conditions will vary within the categories.

From USA Today Bestselling author Eva Pohler . . . The next generation must fulfill a revolutionary destiny . . . Hypnos and Jen aren’t married long when they realize something’s missing: they both want to have a child, especially when they see how happy Therese and Than are with their twins. But the creation of new gods is against the rules, and they aren’t willing to give up their immortality. Hermie and Hestie never asked to be demigods. Unlike others of their kind, they aren’t interested in going on quests and being the center of a world-changing prophecy. But when Zeus learns of Apollo’s vision–of the twins finding Prometheus, Zeus’s number one enemy–the hunt for Prometheus begins. Zeus and his allies want to bind Prometheus and kill the twins before their threat of a revolution becomes a possibility. If Hermie and Hestie don’t find the Titan first, they have no chance of fulfilling their destiny or of surviving Zeus’s threat against them.
