Acerca de esta escucha
State of Fire gives a raw, unexpected, and all-too-truthful view of one man's journey into the world of wildland firefighting. This book is based on the author's experiences as a crewmember of the Highlands 20, once described as an "elite 20-man handcrew". This book pulls back the curtain on the mysteries of those who go toe-to-toe in fierce battles with Nature, exposing various overlooked aspects of what it takes and means to fight wildfire.
From the raw physicality of the job, to the job's transformational qualities, to the extreme camaraderie earned along the way, State of Fire explores the toll that wildland firefighters pay physically, mentally, socially, and of course, the toll it takes on their love lives.
Within these book, wildland firefighters are not "hero-ized" role models sanitized of any shred of truth, but portrayed with all their flaws, egos, weaknesses, and baggage, giving the listener a better understanding of not only the people who go into the wild lands of America and fight fire but the realities of the job itself. This book is about finding commonality by going through hardship with strangers who soon become closer than family. It's about what happens when you separate men from society and normalcy for months at a time. It's about finding purpose in the most unexpected of places. It is about coming to terms with one's limitations. It's about pranks and laughter and ball-breaking and love and loss, all while testing one's mental, emotional, and physical strength through wildfire!

Their plans were conceived in a drunken excitement and resulted in more horror than any of them could have imagined. There was the poet able to retreat into beatific reveries of superb fishing in cold, fast streams; the Vietnam vet consumed by uppers, downers, and violence; and the girl who loved only one of them - at first. With their ideals ostensibly in order, they set out from Florida to save the Grand Canyon from a dam they believed was being built. Along with the tape deck for the car, the liquor, and the drugs, there was also a case of dynamite.

Since the turn of the century, a generation has come of age knowing only war, recession, political gridlock, racial hostility, and a simmering fear of environmental calamity. In the country’s forgotten pockets, where industry long ago fled, where foreclosures, Walmarts, and opiates riddle the land, death rates for rural whites have skyrocketed, fueled by suicide, addiction, and a rampant sense of marginalization and disillusionment. This is the world the characters in Stephen Markley’s brilliant debut novel, Ohio, inherit. This is New Canaan.

The true story behind the events that inspired the major motion picture Only the Brave. A "unique and bracing" (Booklist) first-person account by the sole survivor of Arizona's disastrous 2013 Yarnell Hill Fire, which took the lives of 19 "hotshots" - firefighters trained specifically to battle wildfires. Brendan McDonough was on the verge of becoming a hopeless, inveterate heroin addict when he, for the sake of his young daughter, decided to turn his life around. He enlisted in the Granite Mountain Hotshots, a team of elite firefighters based in Prescott, Arizona.

Anyone living in Rhodesia during the 1960s and 1970s would have had a father, husband, brother, or son called up in the defense of the war-torn, landlocked little country. A few of these brave men would have been members of the elite and secretive unit that struck terror into the hearts of the ZANLA and ZIPRA guerrillas infiltrating the country at that time - the Selous Scouts.

At 23, Andrew Forsthoefel headed out the back door of his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, with a backpack, an audio recorder, his copies of Whitman and Rilke, and a sign that read "Walking to Listen". He had just graduated from Middlebury College and was ready to begin his adult life, but he didn't know how. So he decided to take a cross-country quest for guidance, one where everyone he met would be his guide. In the year that followed, he faced an Appalachian winter and a Mojave summer. He met beasts inside: fear, loneliness, doubt.

Angus and Hugh MacNaughton are brothers. They dislike each other...a lot. They have loathed each other since Hugh bit Angus at a family picnic many years ago. In a last-ditch attempt to forge a brotherly bond between the two, Mr. and Mrs. MacNaughton secure them jobs at an exclusive five-star game lodge. They manage to convince (bribe in the case of Angus) the siblings to work at Sasekile Private Game Lodge for a year.

Solid read for the human experience
This is the story of where and how perspectives fall into play in the trying times at the work place! Although never a wildland firefighter, the people and settings seem relatable and added to the humanity of the crew of firefighters during the 3 seasons of service! A slice of the absurd humor brought out by the interactions of individuals and the writers recall makes you feel like you are part of this. Lots of naturally funny and intense scenes makes you imagine backdraft meets without a paddle. Looking forward to the next book!

Great book. I was able to picture what it might be like to be a Wild land fire fighter based on his descriptions with some added comical relief. Great read by the author as well.
