| An interpretive guide to the Ancient Bristlecone Pine Forest preserved in the White Mountain Range of eastern California's Inyo National Forest. Here the oldest trees in the world (Pinus longaeva) cling to life at 11,000 feet—and continue to contribute critical data to the science of tree-ring dating, climatology, and our understanding of time.
"Information-filled, but still conveys the poetry and magic of these trees. Even the importance of time and its scope from vast to minute is expressed in the format of the book: in a day, a person with a human lifespan visits the Bristlecones, aged in some cases several thousand years, growing on a mountain range where time is measured on a geologic scale...a lovely tribute to the Bristlecones."—Eastside: the Magazine of Inspired Mountain Living |
