    So much of what we know about fire is that it is a bad thing - bad for us, bad for our farms, bad for society. This opened my eyes to the idea that fire can be not just a good thing but something we can harness as a tool in managing our farms. It is interesting and insightful and most importantly thorough. Though I was not convinced at first, the amount of detail they include in how to effectively use fire in managing the rangeland issues facing us was what convinced me to change my mind.
