title: Ancient Fire, Modern Fire: Understanding and Living With Our Friend and Foe
author:  Einar Jensen 
description: Jensen is able to capture both the mystical and adversarial relationship humans have with fire. By delving into the history, chemistry and possibilities of fire, readers will gain new levels of respect, awareness and safety. As a parent and an educator, I find this book very accessible for readers of all ages. I already have lesson plans swirling in my imagination. Well done! --Hilary Bilbrey, CEO, Trademark U; Co-Owner, Inspired By Family<br /><br />Einar Jensen reminds us that fire hasn't changed, human beings have: we are too comfortable and too careless around fire and its destructive power. We will never own it or control it, but we must respect it...when it destroys and when it creates. Ancient Fire, Modern Fire is an excellent resource on fire and fire safety, and should be on the shelves of educators and families, all fire service professionals, injury prevention specialists, juvenile firesetter intervention specialists, and mental health professionals. --Maria Bostian, Fire &amp; Life Safety Educator, Kannapolis Fire Department; author of two books<br /><br />The statement 'knowledge is power' couldn't be more fitting for dealing with the inevitability of fire. But destruction and death do not have to be the inevitable outcome. The knowledge that Jensen provides is what makes Ancient Fire, Modern Fire such an important and powerful tool for parents, teachers, and those serving our communities. --Susie Keppers, 4th-grade teacher, Douglas County School District, Colorado

  Ancient fury sparked in the depths of his mother's almond-shaped eyes. Beyond
  her crooked shape, orange flames crackled in the stone fireplace.
  
  The small house was warm through no effort of those who lived there. The same
  was true for all the homes in the village, for as far back as anyone could
  remember.
  
  The firewood was always there in the warm house with the solid roof that kept
  out the driving spring rain and winter wind, all because of him. The Impostor.
  
  Those who thanked him didn't know the truth. He was a fraud masquerading as
  their protector. There were no thanks for the Impostor in this house. So what
  if he kept fires burning and bellies full? In this tiny house, the hatred was
  worse than the cold. Ancient malice gnawed bellies far worse than any
