Review Quotes:
"The chapters range from northern California to British Columbia, and summarize nearly everything that is known about Pacific Northwest Indian use of fire in the environment. . . . Indians, Fire, and the Land is the most valuable resource to date on Indian burning in the region, and should provide valuable evidence for every reader for his or her next campfire debate. It should be equally usable by archeologists, anthropologists, ecologists, and historians. This is more than a 'recommend'--buy this one--you need it for your library."--James K. Agee, Northwest Science
Review Quotes:
"Indians, Fire, and the Land should be read by every restorationist in the Pacific Northwest and Intermountain region of the Northern Rockies--it's that important and that good. Moreover, it puts in black-and-white, what people such as Dennis Martinez and Kat Anderson have been telling the restoration community for years--namely, that Native American peoples have much to teach the rest of us about how to manage the land properly." --David Egan, Ecological Restoration
Review Quotes:
"Indians, Fire, and the Land adds significant depth to our knowledge of how original peoples utilized fire to create unique landscapes all across the Pacific Northwest . . . Boyd's collection brings to us for the first time a coherent treatment of the role that anthropogenic fire played in the shaping and forming of a unique ecosystem and points to the great contribution that archaeology, paleobotany, and palynology can make to our historical understanding of early human landscape manipulation." --Bruce Shelvey, Western Historical Quarterly
". . . by far the most comprehensive survey of North American Indian fire practices available. . . a rich broth of data and disciplines . . . The book can well serve as a model for other regions or for any part of the world where aboriginal economies, broadly interpreted, thrive." --Stephen J. Pyne, environmental historian, Arizona State University, author of Fire in America, World Fire, and Tending Fire
