Summary:

"This captivating book about dendrochronology--the study of tree rings--uncovers the stories of 10 species of ancient trees, their unique environments and climates, and what they have to tell us about the history of our world. Ingrained and encrypted in the growth rings of every tree are stories of its environment and the events to which it bore witness. In the Circle of Ancient Trees presents the stories of ten ancient tree varieties in engrossing chapters written by ecologists with specialist knowledge. From the Bosnian pine to the giant sequoia, from the United States, to Europe, to South America, these essays explore how human and environmental history share common roots, while drilling down into the ecology, persistence, and resilience of trees. Beautifully designed, and illustrated with wood-engravings and graphics that visualize each tree's chronology and geography, In the Circle of Ancient Trees considers what lessons for our future might be discovered in our planet's past."-- Provided by publisher.
