There is a book forthcoming from Marc Reissner (author of CADILLAC DESERT) that
   focuses on wildfire hazards in Southern California.  He was on campus yesterd
   ay
giving a talk and called our attention to this.  It might be of worth to those
of you interested in linkages between fire as hazard vs. the social/economic/
political screw-ups that are part of the way of life in Southern California that
made this disaster what it was.

Reissner also published an article in LOS ANGELES magazine a few weeks ago,
predicting that the area was ripe for an outbreak of wildfires.  Apparently,
his prediction was off by only a day or two!
