In the Circle of Ancient Trees
From the Giant Sequoia to the Bald Cypress, In the Circle of Ancient Trees explores the stories of 10 iconic tree species, their unique environments, and what they have to tell us about the history of our world. Written by ten dendrochronologists who have each dedicated part of their professional life to studying these ancients, edited by Valerie Trouet, and beautifully illustrated with wood engravings by Blaze Cyan.
