Reviews"This book is very important. It's the first edited volume on fire ethnography and it is a good balance of thorough overview and specific in-depth studies. There is very little out there that is comparable." --Eugene N. Anderson, professor emeritus, Department of Anthropology, University of California, Riverside, "This book is very important.

Anderson, professor emeritus, Department of Anthropology, University of California, Riverside "Provides work previously unavailable on a timely subject in an interesting manner.
