Chaque année brûle dans le monde une surface de forêts et de végétation naturelle équivalente à celle de l'Europe. Le climat, les activités humaines et la végétation sont les trois grands facteurs qui contrôlent les feux et en modifient parfois le comportement, voire la dangerosité. Aussi le danger s'accroît-il dans certains « points chauds » du globe où se concentrent la plupart des incendies, notamment avec le développement de méga-feux. Cependant, l'histoire millénaire des incendies dans le monde nous apprend que le feu constitue un processus naturel indispensable au maintien de beaucoup d'écosystèmes et d'espèces. Dans de nombreux pays, c'est aussi un allié pour cultiver la terre. Les effets des feux peuvent donc être dramatiques, mais aussi bénéfiques. Peu d'ouvrages existent sur les incendies à l'échelle globale. S'adressant aux décideurs autant qu'à un plus large public, ce livre illustré de nombreux exemples est une synthèse des connaissances actuelles sur l'écologie du feu et sa géographie. Il suggère qu'il est possible de cohabiter durablement avec le feu à condition de s'adapter et de gérer intelligemment les paysages, afin de diminuer le risque incendie tout en préservant la biodiversité.

The Politics of Swidden Farming offers a new explanation for the changes taking place in swidden farming practised in the highlands of eastern India through an ethnographic case study. The book traces the story of agroecological change and state intervention to colonial times, and helps understand contemporary agrarian change by contextualizing farming not just in terms of the science and technology of agriculture or conservation and biodiversity but also in terms of technologies of rule. The Politics of Swidden Farming adds a new dimension to the underdeveloped literature on shifting cultivation in South Asia by focusing on the social ecology of farming and agrarian change in the hills. It provides a comparative viewpoint to state-centred and donor-driven development in the frontier region by bringing in different actors and institutions that become the actants and agents of social change.
