Heat--#64 finished

The rest of the title is Adventures in the World's Fiery Places.  Overall a good read that starts talking about Death Valley & wildfires that happen out west in CA and travels to different areas dealing with heat.  The Netherlands for peat that was burned.  Alaska that talked about whaling and then later nuclear & hydrogen bombs where an inventor wanted to use a hydrogen bomb for commercial purposes, very scary but also mentions done lots of times in Russia.  Looked at volcanos in Hawaii too.  Only criticism I had is that he also brought into it fire walking, where he talks about this throughout and at end does it.  To me the other stuff was good and interesting, the fire walking just don't get it, oh well.  Still overall a good read.

I will post on PBS, probably pretty soon since only 1 WL for it.
