Cottonwood and the River of Time – On Trees, Evolution, and Society Stettler
Cottonwood and the River of TimeOn Trees, Evolution, and Society\nAuthor(s): Reinhard F. Stettler\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: University of Washington Press, United States\nImprint: University of Washington Press\nISBN-13: 9780295996707, 978-0295996707\nSynopsis\nCottonwood and the River of Time looks at some of the approaches scientists have used to unravel the puzzles of the natural world. With a lifetime of work in forestry and genetics to guide him, Reinhard Stettler celebrates both what has been learned and what still remains a mystery as he examines not only cottonwoods but also trees more generally, their evolution, and their relationship to society.\nCottonwoods flourish on the verge, near streams and rivers. Their life cycle is closely attuned to the river's natural dynamics. An ever-changing floodplain keeps generating new opportunities for these pioneers to settle and prepare the ground for new species. Perpetual change is the story of cottonwoods -- but in a broader sen.
