Review: Forests Under Fire: A Century of Ecosystem Mismanagement in the Southwest By Christopher J. Huggard and Arthur R. Gomez (Eds.) Review: Fire: A Brief History By Stephen J. Pyne Reviewed by Jacqueline Vaughn Switzer Northern Arizona University, USA Stephen J. Pyne. Fire: A Brief History. Seattle, WA: University of Washington Press, 2002. 220 pp. ISBN 0-295-98144-X (paper). US$18.95 Christopher J. Huggard & Arthur R. Gomez (Eds). Forests Under Fire: A Century of Ecosystem Mismanagement in the Southwest. Tucson, AZ: University of Arizona Press, 2001. 307 pp. ISBN 0-8165-1775-4 (cloth). US$40.00. Acid-free paper.

But he manages to entice us into reading further because we yearn to see how the saga ends, or at least Pyne's reflections on the future. He seems neither optimistic nor pessimistic as he ends his telling of the story. Huggard and Gomez, in comparison, show their hand in the book's subtitle with the premise that human planning for over one hundred years has
