Requests:  0 Summary:  "Told in luminous, perceptive prose, The Last Fire Season is a deeply incisive inquiry into what it really means-now-to live in relationship to the elements of the natural world. When Manjula Martin moved from the city to the woods of Northern California, she wanted to be closer to the wilderness that she had loved as a child. She was also seeking refuge from a health crisis that left her with chronic pain, and found a sense of healing through tending her garden beneath the redwoods of Sonoma County. But the landscape that Martin treasured was an ecosystem already in crisis. Wildfires fueled by climate change were growing bigger and more frequent: each autumn, her garden filled with smoke and ash, and the local firehouse siren wailed deep into the night. In 2020, when a dry lightning storm ignited hundreds of simultaneous wildfires across the West and kicked off the worst fire season on record, Martin, along with thousands of other Californians, evacuated her home in the midst of a pandemic. Both a love letter to the landscapes of the American West and an interrogation of the colonialist practices that shaped them, The Last Fire Season, follows her from the oak woodlands of Sonoma County to the redwood forests of coastal Santa Cruz, to the pines and peaks of the Sierra Nevada, as she seeks shelter and tries to better understand fire's elemental roles in ecology and culture. As Martin seeks a way to navigate the daily experience of living in a damaged body on a damaged planet, Martin must confront and reframe her own presumptions about the relationships among people, land, and home-- ultimately unearthing new possibilities for inhabiting beauty, pain, grief, and joy within the cycles of harm and renewal in the natural world."-- Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status Due Date   Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.37909 Martin Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.37909 Martin Ma Checked out 05/14/2024 Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.37909 Martin Ma Checked out 05/22/2024 Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.37909 Martin Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList Wahiawa Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.37909 Martin Ma Checked In   Add Copy to MyList
