Between Three Fires with Steve Pyne

Please register here for this free event.

Everyone is invited to attend this live Zoom event with Steve Pyne. In his talk "Between Three Fires," he'll take a historical look at America's fire landscape as part of Spring Creek Project's lecture series "Lookout: Envisioning Futures with Wildfire."

Steve Pyne is currently a writer, urban farmer, and emeritus professor at Arizona State University. In a former life he spent 15 seasons with the North Rim Longshots at Grand Canyon National Park, and another three seasons writing fire plans for the National Park Service. Most of his books deal with fire through popular introductions, textbooks, a memoir, and histories including a resurvey of the American fire scene with Between Two Fires: A Fire History of Contemporary America and To the Last Smoke, a series of regional fire surveys. His most recent book is The Pyrocene: How We Created a Fire Age, and What Happens Next.

"Lookout: Envisioning Futures with Wildfire" is an 11-week series exploring how we are shaping this era of megafires and how it is shaping us. Speakers from across the arts, humanities, and environmental sciences will help us scan the horizon for the ideas and stories that can guide us through this critical and disorienting time.

Talks in the series will be broadcast live on Zoom Tuesdays at 6 p.m. PST / 8 p.m. CST / 9 p.m. EST from January 4 to March 15. Learn more and register for other talks here: https://bit.ly/3lHTlex
