Excerpt from The Gisborne Era of Forest Fire Research: Legacy of a PioneerAs my career at the Northern Forest Fire Laboratory drew to a close, it became apparent to me that few of my younger colleagues knew of Harry Gisborne or fully appreciated the extent to which they were indebted to him. I felt called upon to record for others his role in the history of forest fire research and the tradition of excellence that he established for his followers. This account of the Gisborne Era has been a labor of pleasure. It is not one, however, I could have accomplished alone. I wish therefore to acknowledge the many people who provided informa tion and documents for my _research. Those who consented to interviews are identified in the Reference Notes.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
