   Fire on the Mojave: Stories from the Deserts and Mountains of Inland Southern California
    by Ruth Nolan, M.F.A., M.A.

     Join author/professor/former BLM CA Desert District wildland firefighter Ruth Nolan, M.F.A., M.A., for an invigorating lecture and slide show, "Fire On the Mojave: Stories from the Deserts and Mountains of Inland Southern California". "Fire On the Mojave" takes a broad view of the role, presence and impacts of wildfire in our desert and mountain regions, including a review of Native American uses of fire as a form of resource management; a look at fire ecology and fire research conducted by leading scholars and experts in the field; interviews with regional firefighters; a showcase of the College of the Desert, Copper Mountain and Victor Valley College Public Safety Academies; stories from citizens who've survived major wildfire events; emerging wildfire science, prevention, management, adaptations and preparations for future wildfire events; and a close up view of the work of a wildland firefighter as seen through Nolan's point of view.
