Abstract: In Eating Smoke: Fire in Urban America, 1800-1950, Tebeau sets out to explain the role of two largely undocumented actors -- firemen and insurance men -- in analyzing, managing, and attacking urban fire... Tebeau's study vigorously opens the way for scholars looking to make sense of the city in the midst of an era of uncertainty and risk
