Description
California's raging wildfires are a force to be reckoned with. Trained wildland firefighter and photojournalist Stuart Palley documents the devastating impact of these natural disasters, capturing their beauty and destruction in dramatic images. From the towering pines of Shasta Trinity National Forest to the chaparral scrub of San Diego's Mexican border, Palley's photographs showcase five fire seasons and 45 fires that ravaged California in 2017. The book chronicles the state's worst fire season on record, including the wine country fire siege that devastated Sonoma and Napa Counties, and the Thomas Fire in Southern California, which was the largest in recorded state history. Palley's images offer a timely glimpse into the challenges facing California, from drought to urban sprawl, and how these issues are linked to global warming. This collection of photographs presents a powerful visual record of one of the most significant environmental crises of our time.
