Editorial Reviews
Review
Booklist : "There's plenty of information to support reports, all of which is presented in veteran series writer Kallen's straightforward, sometimes lively language. Each useful volume concludes with a glossary and further readings."
-- Booklist (May 2003)
School Library Journal : "This book does a fine job of making connections between the modern world and ancient history. Full-color photos, some of which are quite dramatic, appear throughout, and the inclusion of accidents of nature...increase the book's appeal."
-- School Library Journal (April 2003)
Book Description
In scorching sun and icy snow bristlecone pines grow to be the oldest living trees in the world. This book explores how these amazing pines grow, when their ancient age was discovered and why it is so important to protect these living links to the past.
