In Yellowstone's Rebirth by Fire: Rising from the Ashes of the 1988 Wildfires, Karen Wildung Reinhart examines how the 1988 fires in Yellowstone National Park have served as a primer in fire ecology. Illustrated with lush color photography by Jeff Henry and Billings Gazette photographers, Reinhart's stories opens with a gripping account of the 1988 wildfires that swept across the drought-stricken, tinder-dry Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem -- complete with smoke-shrouded skies, flaming forests, weary firefighters, and evacuations. Ten witnesses to the 1988 wildfires -- ranging from park officials, such as Park Superintendent Bob Barbee, to "ground-pounders," such as helitack firefighter Jane Lopez -- also tell their dramatic stories.

Reinhart explores the science behind the burning questions of 1988: Will Yellowstone's forests have to be replants? Will wildlife habitat recover? Will people want to visit Yellowstone?

The book illustrates in text and images the park's regeneration: how the orange flames and blackened trees of the 1988 fires are replaced by dense stands of lodgepole pine as well as a new understanding understanding of the importance of fire to the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem. 108 full color pages, paperback.
