    Content: Raging wildfires have devastated vast areas of California and Australia in recent years, and predictions are that we will see more of the same in coming years as a result of climate change. But this is nothing new. Since the dawn of life on land, large-scale fires have played their part in shaping life on Earth. Andrew C. Scott tells the whole story of fire's impact on our planet's atmosphere, climate, vegetation, ecology, and the evolution of plant and animal life. It has caused mass extinctions, and it has propelled the spread of flowering plants. The exciting evidence we can now draw on has been preserved in fossilized charcoal, found in rocks hundreds of millions of years old, from all over the world. These reveal incredibly fine details of prehistoric plants, and tell us about climates from deep in earth's history. They also give us insight into how early hominids and humans tamed fire and used it. Looking at the impact of wildfires in our own time, Scott also looks forward to how we might better manage them in future, as climate change has an increasing effect on our world

    Content: Fire is rarely out of the headlines, from the huge wildfires ravaging Australia and California to building fires such as that which destroyed Notre Dame Cathedral. Fire on any scale can pose a serious risk to life and property. Yet fire is a force of nature that has shaped Earth over aeons, while our ability to control fire has enabled us to cook fire, forge weapons, and warm ourselves. Starting with the basics of ignition, combustion, and fuel, Andrew C. Scott describes the nature of fire, from the causes and behavior of wildfire, to fire prevention in buildings. He ends by considering the future of wildfire in a warming world. -- From publisher's description
    Note: The elements of fire -- The deep history of fire -- Fire and humankind -- Containing and suppressing fire -- New technologies and changing fire policies -- Fire and climate change

    An age of iron and rust : Cassius Dio and the history of his time (2023)

    Content: Cassius Dio described his own age as one of “iron and rust.” This study, which is the first of its kind in English, examines the decline and decay that Cassius Dio diagnosed in this period (180-229 CE) through an analysis of the author’s historiographic method and narrative construction. It shows that the final books were a crucial part of Dio’s work, and it explains how Dio approached a period that he considered unworthy of history in view of his larger historiographic project
