- Abstract
- This is a proisional edition of the "Fire Sciences Dictionary and Source Book", intended for circulation to slected individuals and organizations. Since errors of commission or omission are almost unavoidable in a task of this magnitude and complexity, we welcome constructive criticism. A number of additional terms, editorial refinements, and new source references have been collected since the cut-off date of May 1971. A number of candidate terms have been included and marked 'Definition to be provided.' This new material, together with suggestions from the initial users, will be incorporated in a revised edition that will be offered for general distribution.
