From the creator of The California Field Atlas, Obi Kaufmann’s latest work, The State of Fire, explores one of California’s most urgent ecological and social challenges: living with fire. He reveals how fire is essential to a healthy, biodiverse California and how we can learn from its regenerative power. With the same solution-focused approach as in The State of Water, Kaufmann reframes fire not as destruction, but as renewal—offering a hopeful, deeply rooted vision for California’s future. Book sales will be available after the event. Generously Sponsored by the Friends of Danville Library.
