Stephen Pyne: A Fire Planet

Stephen is a fire historian, and self-described pyromantic. Now an emeritus professor at Arizona State University, he spent 15 seasons with the North Rim Longshots at Grand Canyon National Park. He has written major fire histories for America, Australia, Canada, Europe (including Russia), and the Earth overall. Among his many books are Fire in America: A Cultural History of Wildland and Rural Fire, and Year of the Fires: The Story of the Great Fires of 1910. In today's episode Stephen shares some wonderful insights on how we may rethink our relationship with fire. His most recent book is The Still-Burning Bush, out from Scribe Publications in September 2020. Prior to academic life, Stephen also spent fifteen summers as a seasonal firefighter with the US National Parks Service.
