About the work
The Great Domestication: A History of Fire Testing (and Why It Really Matters) examines how humanity learned to measure, understand, and control fire through experiments, instruments, and standards. Blending historical narrative with practical engineering insight, it traces the evolution of fire testing—from early empirical trials to modern calorimetry, smoke measurement, and performance-based approaches used in today’s codes and laboratories. The book explains what key tests measure—heat release rate, heat flux, smoke production, and structural behavior—and why reliable, repeatable data is essential for safer materials, buildings, and evacuation outcomes.
