The Secret Of The Southwest Solved By Talkative Tree Rings

""The Secret of the Southwest Solved by Talkative Tree Rings"" is a book written by Andrew Ellicott Douglass. It is a scientific investigation into the history and climate of the American Southwest, using tree rings as a primary source of data. Douglass, a professor of astronomy at the University of Arizona, became interested in the study of tree rings in the early 20th century. He discovered that the width of tree rings could provide valuable information about the climate and environment in which the tree grew. In this book, Douglass presents his findings on the history of the Southwest, including the rise and fall of ancient civilizations such as the Anasazi and the Hohokam. He also discusses the impact of climate change on the region, including droughts and floods. Douglass's research was groundbreaking at the time, and his methods have since become a standard tool in the field of dendrochronology (the study of tree rings). ""The Secret of the Southwest Solved by Talkative Tree Rings"" remains a classic work in the field, and a fascinating exploration of the history and climate of the American Southwest.Horizons Of American History Are Carried Back To A.D. 700 And A Calendar For 1,200 Years Established By National Geographic Society Expeditions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
