Fire and avian ecology in north america. By Victoria A. Saab and Hugh D. W. Powell (Eds.). Studies in Avian Biology no. 30, Cooper Ornithological Society, Camarillo, California. 2005: vii + 193 pp., 20 tables, 12 maps, 8 other figs. ISBN: 0943610648. $18.00 (paper).-Formerly the purview of agency personnel and a handful of academics, over the last 30 years wildland fire management has entered the mainstream consciousness as a topic of debate and interest. This has been accompanied by a corresponding increase in attention paid by ornithologists to topics on fire ecology. This volume adds to the ever-growing list of fire-related papers and books, in this case providing a well edited and useful literature review specifically concerned with the effects of fire and fire exclusion on birds and their habitats.
