Summary: Views from the Top of Arizona Forests
Review: A timely look into Arizona fire towers and the men and women who work in them. After visiting fire tower lookouts over a four-year period, the author treats us to a rare insight into the people who have chosen to work in the isolation of fire towers surrounded by the grandeur of some of Arizona's spectacular forests, illustrated here with beautiful photos. The "lookouts" prove to be diverse in their views of life and their reasons for chooosing this occupation. Their stories are introspective, filled with adventure and told with humor. A thoroughly enjoyable and thought-provoking read.
