| "The mythological phoenix, the fiery bird of rebirth is just that — a myth. But the fiery rebirth of Yellowstone's forests are a true reality. Yellowstone's Rebirth by Fire: Rising from the Ashes of the 1988 Wildfires is a study of the comeback of the Yellowstone wilderness after the devastating fires that covered them twenty years ago. Packed with full color photos and illustrations, Yellowstone's Rebirth by Fire is a testament to the resolve of mother nature to heal and recover. Enhanced with interviews from those involved in the incident, Yellowstone's Rebirth by Fire is highly recommended for personal and community library environmental studies collections."
-Midwest Book Review "Karen Reinhart's many years as a ranger give her rare insights into the park's ecology. Her striking ability to get to the heart of a story makes this book a fascinating perspective on Yellowstone twenty years after the great fires."
"An important, interpretive new book with stunning photographs, issued during the twentieth anniversary
year of the Yellowstone fires."
