Synopsis

Groundbreaking research in botany, archaeology, ecology, astronomy and solar activity have been synthesized into one incredible study. The author, an astronomer and director of an observatory, has painstakingly collected over 4,000 tree samples from the American southwest to analyze annual growth rings. This examination of the past 2,000 years has allowed the author to trace climatic changes, search for solar patterns, and uncover hidden cycles in nature. Cross-identifying the trees' rings in different locations to verify data, the author has been able to make startling assertions regarding weather and solar patterns that will challenge our understanding of climate change and improve our abilities to predict the future. This essential work provides knowledge that will impact our understanding of solar and atmospheric science for decades to come.
