Carle explores 100 years of controversy over prescribed burning--using fire as a tool--and fire suppression, using the voices of early advocates and today's proponents to examine the strategy of controlled burning. A burning mix of diesel fuel and gasoline drips from handheld canisters onto the ground. Slowly a line of fire begins to creep downhill. The flames are well behaved, almost hesitant. This is a backing fire, unlikely to attract media attention unless it escapes, like the disastrous Los Alamos "Cerro Grande" fire did in 2000. This book explores a century of controversy over prescribed burning--using fire as a tool--and fire suppression. For more than 100 years, America waged an all-out war against wildland fire. Decades of fire suppression caused fuels to build up at alarming levels in our forests, culminating in the increasingly severe, uncontrollable fires of the late 20th century--the fires in Yellowstone, the Oakland Hills, and Los Alamos and the fires in summers of 2000 (the second worst fire season in the nation's history) and 2001. Looking at these and earlier fires, Carle uses the voices of those who were involved, of those who were early advocates, and of today's proponents to examine the role of controlled burning. Early in the century, Harold Biswell, a pioneer in prescribed burning, dared to commit the heresy of questioning the dogma of fire suppression, despite professional controversy and opprobrium, he and a few other pioneers led the way. Their roles play an integral part in the story told here. In Biswell's words, "fire is a natural part of the environment, about as important as rain and sunshine...We must work more in harmony with nature, not so much against it." Can humanity, this book asks, learn to become a fire-adapted species?

这本书给我最大的触动在于它对人性深处的探讨。它没有简单地将角色塑造成非黑即白的好人或坏蛋,而是展示了人在极端压力下如何做出选择,以及这些选择如何塑造了他们。我特别欣赏作者对于“灰色地带”的描绘,那些模棱两可的道德困境,让人在阅读后久久不能平静。合上书本后,我花了好长时间整理自己的思绪,思考如果是我处于那种境地,会做出何种选择。这种能引发深刻自我反思的书籍,才是真正有价值的文学作品。它不仅仅是提供了娱乐,更是在进行一场关于生存与良知的哲学对话。
评分这本书的故事情节跌宕起伏,简直让人欲罢不能!作者对人物内心的刻画入木三分,每一个角色的动机和挣扎都显得无比真实。我尤其喜欢那个充满智慧却又略带神秘感的主角,他的每一次选择都牵动着我的心弦。读到后来,我甚至感觉自己仿佛置身于那个充满未知与挑战的世界,与主角一同经历着风风雨雨。书中对于环境和背景的描绘也极其细腻,无论是古老的城市还是神秘的森林,都跃然纸上,让人身临其境。那种沉浸式的阅读体验,真是久违了。我强烈推荐给所有喜欢深度叙事和复杂人物关系的读者,这本书绝对能满足你对一本好书的所有想象。
评分从头到尾,这本书都保持着一种令人屏息的悬念感。你以为你猜到了下一步,但作者总能用一个意想不到的转折让你措手不及。我几乎是连夜读完的,完全是被那种强烈的求知欲驱使着,想要立刻知道“真相”是什么。这种紧张的氛围营造得非常到位,不仅仅依靠情节的急转弯,更多的是通过对角色内心焦虑的细致描写来实现的。它就像一个完美的谜团,每一页都让你更深入地投入其中,却又不断地在最后关头抛出新的线索。对于喜欢烧脑和追求刺激阅读体验的读者来说,这本书简直是为你量身定做的。读完后,我感觉自己的肾上腺素还在飙升!
评分我通常对这种类型的题材不太感冒,但这本书完全颠覆了我的固有印象。它的叙事结构非常巧妙,采用了多线叙事的方式,但所有线索最终都能完美地交汇在一起,那种豁然开朗的感觉太棒了!我得承认,一开始我有点跟不上节奏,感觉信息量有点大,但我坚持了下来,事实证明,所有的铺垫都是为了最后那令人震撼的高潮。这本书展现了作者极高的掌控力,能够同时处理如此多复杂的元素而不使其显得混乱。它更像是一部精心设计的钟表,每一个齿轮都在精确地运作,最终呈现出令人惊叹的整体效果。这是一次智力上的挑战,也是一次情感上的洗礼。
评分天呐,这本书的文笔简直是艺术品!那种流畅而富有诗意的语言,读起来简直是一种享受。作者似乎拥有将复杂情感用最简洁而又最深刻的文字表达出来的魔力。我经常会因为某一句精妙的比喻而停下来,反复咀嚼其中的深意。故事情节本身虽然引人入胜,但更让我惊艳的是作者驾驭语言的功力。它不像有些畅销书那样为了追求快节奏而牺牲了文学性,反而是在保持故事张力的同时,将文字的美感发挥到了极致。如果你是一个对文字有着近乎苛刻要求的人,这本书绝对会让你眼前一亮,甚至会激发你重新审视自己对“阅读”的定义。
