ASU professor's new novel inspired by a 'paradise on fire'

One ASU professor who has found this especially disconcerting is young adult novelist Jewell Parker Rhodes, whose latest book centers around a wildfire. Here, Rhodes and Arizona state climatologist Erinanne Saffell talk about the importance of teaching younger generations about the natural world.
