Synopsis:

In text and photographs, Reinhart examines the 1988 Yellowstone fires and their aftermath: smoke-shrouded skies, flaming forests, and fireballs that have been replaced by wildflowers, aspen stands, and rare Bicknell's geraniums. Reinhart also explores what the answers are to the burning questions of 1988: Would fire kill Yellowstone's forests? Would wildlife populations recover? Would Yellowstone itself recover?

From the Back Cover: This landmark new book features 93 photos from the historic 1988 Yellowstone fires, dramatic accounts from those on the front lines, and the remarkable story of Yellowstone's rebirth as blackened mountainsides have given way to green stands of lodgepole pine and aspen.

Featuring a detailed timeline of the fires, including 7 maps showing the explosive growth of the blazes, Yellowstone's Rebirth by Fire, dispels myths about fire and discusses its history and legacy in the park.
