Story
In mysterious, winding sentences gorgeously translated by Jessica Moore, De Kerangal gives us the story of two unlikely souls entwined in a quest for freedom with a striking sense of tenderness, sharply contrasting the brutality of the surrounding world. Racing toward Vladivostok, we meet the young Aliocha, packed onto a Trans-Siberian train with other Russian conscripts. Soon after boarding, he decides to desert and over a midnight smoke in a dark corridor of the train, he encounters an older French woman, Helene, for whom he feels an uncanny trust.

Story
On January 28, 1742, a ramshackle vessel of patched-together wood and cloth washed up on the coast of Brazil. Inside were thirty emaciated men, barely alive, and they had an extraordinary tale to tell. They were survivors of His Majesty’s Ship the Wager, a British vessel that had left England in 1740 on a secret mission during an imperial war with Spain. While the Wager had been chasing a Spanish treasure-filled galleon known as “the prize of all the oceans,” it had wrecked on a desolate island off the coast of Patagonia.

The Pyrocene tells the story of what happened when a fire-wielding species, humanity, met an especially fire-receptive time in Earth's history. Since terrestrial life first appeared, flames have flourished. Over the past two million years, however, one genus gained the ability to manipulate fire, swiftly remaking both itself and eventually the world. We developed small guts and big heads by cooking food; we climbed the food chain by cooking landscapes; and now we have become a geologic force by cooking the planet.

Story
It’s December 1997, and a man-eating tiger is on the prowl outside a remote village in Russia’s Far East. The tiger isn’t just killing people, it’s annihilating them, and a team of men and their dogs must hunt it on foot through the forest in the brutal cold. As the trackers sift through the gruesome remains of the victims, they discover that these attacks aren’t random: The tiger is apparently engaged in a vendetta. Injured, starving, and extremely dangerous, the tiger must be found before it strikes again.

The conditions that allowed humans to live on this earth are fragile, incredibly so. Climate variability has at times created new niches that humans or their ancestors could potentially exploit, and challenges that at times have spurred innovation. But there’s a relatively narrow envelope of climate variability within which human civilization remains viable. And our survival depends on conditions remaining within that range. In this book, renowned climate scientist Michael Mann will arm listeners with the knowledge necessary to appreciate the gravity of the unfolding climate crisis.

#1 NATIONAL BESTSELLER
WINNER OF THE BAILLIE GIFFORD PRIZE FOR NONFICTION • FINALIST FOR THE HILARY WESTON WRITERS' TRUST PRIZE FOR NONFICTION • FINALIST FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN NONFICTION • ONE OF THE NEW YORK TIMES’ TOP TEN BOOKS OF THE YEAR • A stunning account of the colossal wildfire at Fort McMurray, and a panoramic exploration of the rapidly changing relationship between fire and humankind from the award-winning, best-selling author of The Tiger and The Golden Spruce.
Named a Best Book of the Year by The Guardian • TIME • The Globe and Mail • The New Yorker • Financial Times • CBC • Smithsonian • Air Mail Weekly • Slate • NPR • Toronto Star • The Washington Post • The Times • Orion Magazine
In May 2016, Fort McMurray, the hub of Canada's petroleum industry and America's biggest foreign supplier, was overrun by wildfire. The multi-billion-dollar disaster melted vehicles, turned entire neighborhoods into firebombs, and drove 88,000 people from their homes in a single afternoon. Through the lens of this apocalyptic conflagration—the wildfire equivalent of Hurricane Katrina—John Vaillant warns that this was not a unique event but a shocking preview of what we must prepare for in a hotter, more flammable world.
For hundreds of millennia, fire has been a partner in our evolution, shaping culture, civilization, and, very likely, our brains. Fire has enabled us to cook our food, defend and heat our homes, and power the machines that drive our titanic economy. Yet this volatile energy source has always threatened to elude our control, and in our new age of intensifying climate change, we are seeing its destructive power unleashed in previously unimaginable ways.
With masterly prose and a cinematic eye, Vaillant takes us on a riveting journey through the intertwined histories of North America's oil industry and the birth of climate science, to the unprecedented devastation wrought by modern forest fires, and into lives forever changed by these disasters. John Vaillant's urgent work is a book for—and from—our new century of fire, which has only just begun.

Great read, very informative
What a wonderful book. Having survived the fire season of 2023 in my area of the globe (North of Fort McMurray) I was looking for information about forest fires, and the interplay of climate change, and honestly and answer to my question: what the hell is going on?
I had heard the author on the radio last year discussing the fires that were happening in our area and I'd made a mental note to read his book.
It did not disappoint. I highly recommend it for anyone living in a WUI, for anyone who is curious, for anyone else who thinks "what the hell is going on" when they look around and everything's on fire. I understand now a bit better the situation and I feel better prepared to deal with another "record-breaking fire season" as will likely happen again soon enough.

A must read
This book explores the human side of forest fire tragedies, placing these in context through comprehensive accounts of the history of oil exploration and development, the science of climate change, and the policy challenges that face us now. Most moving for me was the excerpt from an interview with a fellow driving his wife and three children from the flames, stuck in traffic, watching the flames approach, wondering if they would be overtaken and what to do if the flames got close - grab a child and run? which child?
If you are thinking of reading one book to better understand the changes we are seeing in the nature, frequency and destruction of wildfires, or if you are looking for a highly readable resource on climate change, the science behind it and the issues it raises, this is the book for you.

A Watershed tale
As a former wildland fire fighter, the book was on point with the research and descriptions of the fire itself. Having dealt with interface fires story of Fort Mac resonates to those times when I was on the front line. The last section of the book that describes the future fires in this planet is a section we all should learn and put into practice.

I'm a big fan of John Valliant's non-fiction books. This one is up there with his (very excellent) others. Extremely timely as well.
Today was the first day I ever had an event cancelled due to wildfire smoke. After reading this book I understand why this is the case and worry more about our future.
Consider this one a must-read.

Gripping and Scary!
Wow! Once I started listening I could not stop.
In usual John Vaillant fashion, the writing is beautiful and vivid. In addition to being well researched and and informative it’s also as fast paced and gripping as a bestselling thriller.
The story focuses on the Fort McMurray fire, told through interviews with firefighters and survivors. Their sorties are moving and scary.
In addition its also about the changing science of forest fires and a warning about the devastating consequences of inaction on climate change.
Scary! At first the stories of the people who survived the Fort Mac fires were frightening and scary. But by the end I felt fear for my children and the generations to come. He paints a stark picture of a warming world and the positive feedback loops created by forest fires as they release vast amounts of carbon, while burning the exact thing the we rely on to remove carbon dioxide: trees. As good a call to action on climate change as anything I have ever read (or listened to). Highly recommended.
