Book excerpt: Jessica and Jasmine have the identical torch shaped "Fire Scar" mark on the right side of their neck, but they were born more than a hundred years apart in San Jose, CA! Why do they both have the same torch shaped mark on their neck? Could that be a sign of reincarnation? Once there was a Chinatown in San Jose in the late 19th century, but the ruthless arsonists struck the Chinese community without any warning during a lottery event. The water tank in the firehouse was mysteriously drained out completely, which made the rescue impossible. This book is about an untold story of the burning of San Jose's Chinatown on May 4th 1887.

Book excerpt: Journalist and educator Patricia Prijatel and her family built a tiny cabin in a remote Colorado mountain valley where they embraced the silent, the wild, and the beautiful-until June 2013 and the East Peak Fire. Their cabin survived, but their woodlands became a burn-scarred landscape of splintered trunks and blackened branches. After the fire, the ruin of the land and its people grew: flash floods on eroded land, invasive weeds crowding out grass and seedlings, hurricane-level winds breaking healthy trees, dangerous orphaned animals, toxic air, and stress leading to life-threatening diseases. Burn Scars: A Memoir of the Land and Its Loss follows Prijatel and her family through six years of living in a changed ecosystem. It's a story of a love of the land, of hope challenging despair, of climate grief, and the birth of a climate warrior. With searing honesty, Prijatel chronicles an unprecedented transition for America's natural forests, the life they nurture, and the people witnessing their tragic loss. Her story serves as a love song, a warning, and a glimpse of the future we'll all navigate as climate change remakes the places we've loved. It's also a call to fight for a priceless treasure we can still preserve-if we act now.

Download or read book Burn Scars Complete Guide on 2nd and 3rd Degree Burn Scars written by Daniel Miller and published by . This book was released on 2012-11-27 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Getting burnt is a painful situation to go through and when you have to add being scarred not only physically but also emotionally from the experience, it only makes it worse. There is a different classification of the burns that people suffer; they are placed into categories of first, second and third degree burns to speak to the degree to which the burn has penetrated the skin as well as the tissues. The flesh can be burnt via electricity, chemicals, friction, and heat, among others.There are ways in which to treat burns, but it is dependent on the degree of the burn that you will make the decision as to if it can be treated at home using natural remedies or if you will need to see a doctor immediately so as to avoid infection and even death as the latter is possible if the burn is not treated properly. There are also ways and means by which you can prevent the scarring of the burnt area, or to reduce the level of scarring that result from you being burnt.There are also methods that can be used to fade the scars that you receive as a result of being burnt, albeit these scars cannot be completely removed. The way you treat your burn in the first instance of being burnt will be a big determinant of if you are scarred any at all as well as to the level of scarring that will result in the long run.Table of ContentsTypes Of Burn Scars : 2nd Or 3rd Degree BurnsPrevent Burn Scars : A Few Steps On Preventing Burn ScarsHealing Burn Scars : Medical Healing MethodsCream For Burn Scars : Brands We Recommend That WorkHow To Treat Burn Scars : A Few Tips On How To Treat ThemHow To Heal Burn Scars : Simple Guide On TreatingHow To Remove Burn Scars Naturally : Home Remedies For BurnHow To Reduce Burn ScarsHow To Fade Burn ScarsVitamin E For Burn Scars : How This WorksBio Oil For Burn Scars : Is This An Option For EveryoneLaser Treatment For Burn Scars : Is It Worth It
Download or read book Spatial and Temporal Validation of Fire Scar Fire Histories written by and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Accurate information about historical fire regimes is needed to understand the long-term effects of fire and climate on ecosystem dynamics and guide ecosystem restoration. Fire scars are used widely to reconstruct historical fire regimes around the world but few empirical validation studies have been conducted. This dissertation consists of three integrated studies aimed at addressing the following questions: (1) how accurate are fire-scar fire histories compared to known patterns of fire occurrence; (2) how do these relationships vary spatially and temporally; (3) how representative statistically are search-based ("targeted) fire-scar sampling techniques? I utilized an empirical corroboration approach to validate fire-scar reconstructions against documentary fire perimeters for a 2,780 hectare ponderosa pine landscape in Saguaro National Park, Arizona (USA). Resampling statistics and spatial modeling were used to quantify interactions between spatial scale, sample size, and fire size. Statistical properties of targeted sampling were assessed by analyzing three case studies containing paired examples of targeted and non-targeted sampling (i.e., systematic and census). I found strong linear relationships between fire-scar synchrony (samples scarred in a given year) and annual area burned. Fire-scar derived estimates of fire frequency metrics, such as Mean Fire Return Interval and Natural Fire Rotation, did not differ significantly from the documentary record, and there was strong spatial coherence between fire frequency maps interpolated from fire-scar data and documentary maps. Scale and sample size dependence of fire-scar detection probabilities were variable for small fire years but relatively weak for widespread fires. This resulted in consistent and predictable influences on fire frequency reconstructions: statistical measures dependent on area burned were relatively stable and robust across a range of scale, sample size, and fire size. Targeted sampling did not differ statistically from non-targeted datasets, but targeted fire-scar data contained proportionately greater sample depth and longer temporal records with fewer samples. These results demonstrate collectively that key temporal and spatial fire frequency parameters can be reconstructed accurately from point-based fire-scar data. They also reaffirm general interpretations and management implications from past fire history research indicating that frequent, widespread burning was an important component of pre-settlement fire regimes in Southwestern ponderosa pine.
