The State of Fire: Why California Burns with author Obi Kaufmann

From the creator of The California Field Atlas and many other books comes a new volume about stewardship, resilience, and hope.

Fire is an essential part of California's ecology. Humans have been using it to shape the California landscape for thousands of years. But today, many Californians' relationship to fire is one of fear. Obi Kaufmann asks: How do we live with fire? And how do we benefit from its teachings?

Mr. Kaufmann will be present for a booksigning, talk, and panel with community members. He will be joined by special guest and Poet Laureate Melinda Palacio.
